1: Introduction

The S is a very powerful option board that provides increased memory
and greater control of the legendary Yamaha DX7 synthesizer.

SuperMAX Features



Memory Expansion: Sixteen banks of 32 patches equaling 512 patches

total. Two banks of "factory" patches are included.



Voice Stacking: You can stack and detune two, three or four voices of the

same patch. You then have a choice of 16x1, 8x2, 5x3 or 4x4 polyphony.

(for example).

etc.



Temperament: You can predefine 4 different keyboard tunings.



Programmable master volume.
