If "it" (symphonia?) was tuned even tempered 60 note/octave, the DX7*
will do the tuning in almost no time from the "convenience page". Select
"even tempered", select "60", done! (Well, approximately like that ...)

 
[*] The DX7 MkII that is. Or a MkI retrofitted with the kit from Grey
Matter Response.
