Hi all -
I'm still struggling a bit with this, so let me give you all some more
details.
It's a DX7ii- FD, for starters.
I'm hoping to store/edit libraries on my computer. I am running Mac OSX.
With the DX7 I, I was able to listen and edit SysEx files in a program
called "Dexed" and a program called "FM8." Now, while I seem to be getting
SysEx msgs sent from the DX7II, they won't open in either FM8 or Dexed - so
I am unsure how to verify them.
