Looks very impressive, I'll check it out this weekend, does it even
run if you don't have a Yamaha DX7 keyboard?

One thing I noticed about the code though, you used absolute sizes for
things. You may want to use wxSizers in case someone uses a different
(larger) default font size. You can use wxGlade,
http://wxglade.sourceforge.net/ , to get a good idea how sizers work
by creating different things and looking at the output. It should be
easy to translate it from either c++ or python to wxLua. I think you
can even keep the code the same, just add the controls to the sizers
you create at the end of each page. This will keep the code pretty
clean.
