I also have a DX7 and use it with my SB Live Platinum.? If you only have the SB Live! 5.1 and not the platinium, your problem may lie in the midi configuration of Windows.? Check your Control Panel's Multimedia configuration for midi instrument setting to be sure you are using the one for the SB Live! 5.1.? I had similar problems when I first installed my sound card.? I forgot to get rid of the drivers for my old sound card and Windows was using the wrong midi driver.? Might I also suggest investing some money to get the Live!Drive II.? It will allow you to use standard?5 pin midi cables instead of the joystick port.? Well, good luck.
