   In the last KEYBOARD magazine issue (Sept. '85), the book was panned
   because apparently the translation was word-for-word from the Japanese
   version of the book, and it was the reviewer's opinion that most of
   the book's qualities were lost in the translation.  However, a lot of
   people were looking forward to its release because apparently most
   synthesists feel that the DX-7 is relatively hard to program, and so
   any coherent advice on programming the DX-7 was felt to be worthy
   of attention.   Since I am considering purchasing a DX-7, is anyone
   out there unhappy with the apparent effort needed to program it?
