Preliminary
Version Check
You can check the version of your DX7 MiniMAX by powering the DX7 on. The greeting
message contains the version information. You should see a version message such as:
* Welcome to *
* MiniMAX v2.1 *
The message goes away on its own after a few moments.

Settable MIDI Receive channel, or OMNI mode

Recommended Initialization
After installing the board, or any time the battery is changed, there can be some random data in
the DX7 RAM. Check and set the Function parameters and load some patch data to begin using
your new DX7 MiniMAX:
1. Turn the Internal Memory Protect OFF to enable saving settings and data.
2. Check the Portamento Time and Mode (Mono/Poly). Double check all other Function settings
for peculiarities.
3. Set the active Memory Bank to 1 (see below).
4. Set MIDI Ch In = 1 and MIDI Ch Out = 1 or whichever channel(s) you prefer (see below).
5. Load a set of patches from cartridge or system exclusive. If the latter is used, then Sys Info
must be set to Available first.
