Roland Jdxi Tricks
Note for Apple Mac OS X Users:
Please don't ask me about a Mac OS X version of the JDXi Manager. I don't own a Mac and have no Mac programming experience so I'm unable to make a Mac version.
What you could do is try out the Windows version of the JDXi Manager on your Mac using Wine (https://www.winehq.org/). I have had some feedback from Mac owners who tried this and apparently it works fine except for occasional problems with sysex dumps ('Read from' and 'Dump to' and Preset Loading) which sometimes fail, but by retrying they eventually work.
