Yamaha DX7 Series 
MIDI Control Program
Copyright (c) 1996 - Karl Schmidt


Introduction

I wrote this program back around 1992 to help me enter DX7 patches into my DX7IIFD 
synthesizer without having to deal with the cryptic synthesizer interface.  All the MIDI 
commands should be recognized by all Yamaha 6-OP synths.  I now release the program 
as FREEWARE with the following license agreement:

You are granted the right to use and to make an unlimited number of copies of this 
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 
of this product and makes no warranty or representation, either express or implied, 
including but not limited to, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a 
particular purpose.  This software is provided as is, and you, its user, assume all risks 
when using it. 

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.  Have fun creating some new sounds!
