Yes, IMHO this library together with Perl/Tk (or GTK2-Perl if you prefer) for the GUI makes it very easy to write apps like this one, I have very little programming experience and I still managed to write this in a few weeks in my spare time (I did have basic Perl scripting experience but had never written such large GUI based app before). I might write similar apps for other synths I own in future but I don't own a DX7 (great synth!) so can't support that one. Regards, Andy
