If you can find patch lists for downloadable sound banks, there's one I placed into my bank called Jumpies that sounds right for the stuff EVH used on 1984.
Also note that the DX7 can be configured so there's nine sine waves, so it'll do useful drawbar simulations. (This was covered in a Keyboard Magazine item some time ago)

Thank to everyone for the great information. The other thing is how to hook the DX to a computer, and, Mac is my preference since I own an iMac and an iPad. I also may purchase a MacBook Air or Pro for this and some other jobs. I also have iConnectMIDI which I’m pretty sure will make the connection since it has USB, midi and lightning connectors. Now to start reading the great stuff you guys sent and getting things going. My main program to load or dial in the the OBX sound Van Halen uses on Jump. One of the bands I play with is doing a Van Halen tribute set in 4 weeks and I would like to use the DX instead of my SK1-73.
