3. I don't believe that individual pitch bend is available on the DX7,
any version. And polyphonic aftertouch isn't available. The only
thing that one can do on DX7II, TX802, etc. is program layers where
each layer responds to pitch differently. To use this to bend
individual notes of a chord, for example, one must use multiple MIDI
channels. The original DX7 only supports one MIDI channel.
