It's definitely meant to emulate a DX7, to the point that you can 
program it with a DX7 programmer via MIDI sysex messages, and load DX7 
patch banks in to it. There's a copy of the original DX7 patches here -- 
I just loaded them in to Hexter and they seem to work fine (though I 
don't have a real DX7 to compare against, so I don't know how they sound 
compared to one):
