The DX7 programmer I've designed allows multiple operator editing by 
using a common set of controls for the operators (and switches to select 
the operators to edit), which reduces cost significantly and makes the 
programmer smaller (3U rack), but sacrifices dedicated sliders for each 
operator.  I put the development on hold to focus on other programmers, 
once the DT7 was announced, but perhaps it's time to thaw the project.
