[sdiy] dx mods (was:FM Synth Designs)

[Paul Maddox (QinetiQ)]

Hi,

  I have a TX7, which I quite enjoy..
Im thinking about doing two things to it.

1) 19" rackmount, The display is a standard 16 character LCD, and I have
some nice VFDs that will work in its place, It'll also easily fit into a 1U
19" rack
2) Some kind of editor, much like that great wall of knobs editor, but on a
much scaled down version, just the essentials as knobs and some osrt of page
switching.

Paul
