Documentation Disclaimer
The SuperMAX was originally developed in the mid-80's by MAXsystems in
France. The "S" version is manufactured by Music Technologies
Group with permission from the original developer, however, MTG has limited
insight into (or ability to change) the underlying functionality. MTG, like you, is
simply interested in getting the very most out of such a ground-breaking
synthesizer by using this great mod.
This User Guide was put together from various (brief) manuals found on the 'net
as well as hands-on use and collaboration with other users. There may be errors
or omissions in the manual.
Feel free to contact MTG with contributions to make
this manual better.

Installation Guide available on the www.musictechnologiesgroup.com website.
Manual Conventions
Regarding the LCD, this manual shows the variable part of the LCD content
using an underline. The DX7 itself is not able to underline more than one
character, but this convention makes it easier to visualize the changing part of
the LCD versus the fixed part.
THIS AREA IS FIXED
AND THIS: CAN CHANGE
This document is broken up into chapters based on the building blocks that
SuperMAX provides such as Arpeggiator, Delay, Stacking, Temperament, etc.
Also, an attempt is made to follow the panel numbering in order where possible.
Inside each chapter the panel buttons for that feature are described. In some
cases there is spillover from one chapter to another due to the nature of
SuperMAX.
It is recommended that you read the manual several times and then the
operation and functional sections will be much clearer. This is a powerful
expansion that many of us are learning about for the first time ever, nearly 30
years after it was released. Compared to other expansion options, it's really fairly
easy to use (once you have a good manual for it, wink wink).
