 Convert a TX7 bank (VMEM + PMEM):
    MDX_PerfConv -c -a my_TX7_file.syx

 Convert a DX7II bank (VMEM + AMEM):
    MDX_PerfConv -c -a my_DX7II_file.syx

 Parameters in long form:

About the output files:

• if the input file contains just single voices (e.g. TX7 Function Bank (VMEM+PMEM) or DX7II Voice Bank (VMEM+AMEM)) - the output performance files will contain 8 voices each with MIDI Channels set to 1 to 8. So, you will get 4 performance.ini files from one bank file
• if the input files are combining more than one voice (DX5 performance, DX7II performance) - the output performance file will contain one performance with MIDI Channels set to 1
