+Yes, IMHO this library together with Perl/Tk (or GTK2-Perl if you 
+prefer) for the GUI makes it very easy to write apps like this one, I 
+have very little programming experience and I still managed to write 
+this in a few weeks in my spare time (I did have basic Perl scripting 
+experience but had never written such large GUI based app before).
+ 
+I might write similar apps for other synths I own in future but I don't 
+own a DX7 (great synth!) so can't support that one.
