Yamaha RX11 MIDI 
Control Program

Introduction

If you are reading this manual, you probably have an RX11 in your MIDI setup or on a shelf 
somewhere. I wrote this program back around 1992 to help me control the drum machine.  
I now release it as FREEWARE with the following license agreement:

software. You may not disassemble, decompose, reverse engineer, or alter this file or any 
of the other files in the package.

This software is provided as FREEWARE and cannot be sold. This restriction does not 
apply to connect time charges, or flat rate connection/download fees for electronic 
bulletin board services. This software can not be bundled with any commercial package 
without express written permission from the author. 

The author of this program accepts no responsibility for damages resulting from the use

Given this, enjoy the program.  If there is anything that you would really like to see added 
to the program, write me an e-mail.  Hope I can squeeze a little more life into your RX11.
