2: Starting Out
The first time you power-up the DX7 with the SuperMAX installed, and in fact any
time the battery is changed, there will be a 5-second delay before the greeting
message is seen. This is normal, do not panic. The greeting message should
look something like this:
* Welcome to *
* SuperMAX+! *
All 16 of the memory banks are now filled with the 2 banks of SuperMAX
"factory" sounds. You can overwrite any or all of these sounds, but make sure to
read the tips later in this document before you begin to do so!
