Hank, delete that Multi Instrument and create just an "Instrument" from the environment's New menu. Then name that instrument DX7. Those 16 buttons on the Multi instrument relate to midi channels. The Multi instrument was designed for Multitibral Instruments that can receive more than one midi channel at a time. Your DX7 can receive only one channel at a time. Next, ignore the patch names in the list of program changes. Just use numbers. PG's 1-32 will select DX patches 1-32 and PG's 33-64 will select DX cartridge voices. If you have a REALLY early DX7 they could only receive on Midi channel 1. Later one's allowed reception on any channel from 1 - 16. Simply set the midi channel of the instrument to be the same as the channel you set the DX to receive on. Use this instrument as the recording track on your arrange page. That's about it... R8 is a similar setup from memory since I THINK it can only receive on one channel at a time. MV 30 I can't remember but either way simply use a single instrument or Multi Instrument as is appropriate. There's not a lot more to it than this...
