Since the DX7 allows users to program different patches, it is possible to copy others' patches for use in one's own DX7. As such, skilled programmers oftentimes go to great lengths to protect their sounds from being copied. Some even resort to the inclusion of alien keyboard scalings or nonsensical characters in the program name to ID their work.
