"Back in the early 1980s there was an adventurous startup in the Los Angeles area by the name of Beetle Inc., founded by a couple of very smart electrical engineers who were making advanced computerized musical equipment. That is, until Yamaha forced them out of business with threats of lawsuits. But not before they managed to get a small number of unique products into the marketplace, including the PR-7 programming module. This device connects to the Yamaha TX-7 FM synthesis module via two midi cables and controls it with exactly the same functionality as the control panel of the Yamaha DX-7. Excellent condition. See separate listing for the companion TX-7 module."

You can see one in action here. Apparently this works with the TX216 and TX816 as well.
