Thanks!  It helps with two out of the three.  The catch is that all the
parameter were re-ordered for v3.  I found the Velocity Map and Pressure
Map, which I assume are the same:

Velocity Map: 1-4 (1 is default)
1 - linear
2 - curved map emphasize low velocities - designed to work with K250
3 - doubly-curved map, emphasizes high and low velocity
4 - small range map to deal with DX-7 screwed up response

Pressure Map - 1-2 (1 is default)
1 - "normal"
2 - requires more pressure to kick in, but less for max value

I can't find anything about  After Pressure Mode.  Any ideas?  I guess
I'll hook up a MIDI monitor and see if I can figure it out.

By the way, is there any way to get hold of a v3 upgrade?  Is it just a
ROM replacement? Anyone able to burn copies of the PROMs?

Thanks,

  David
