I don't think you can. You can run it through some sort of pitch shifter and do it that way. When you say out of tune, do you mean in steps (whole, half, so on.) Or a fraction out of tune?

If its off a whole step or more it would be the TRANSPOSE func,

Page 16 on DX7 manual tells something about master tune.

But you won't want to tune it to the other keyboard, you'd want to tune both to say 440 so that if a guitar part or bass etc. part is laid down everything is tune together.

You can tune the DX7. Look on page 89 of the manual (if you've got the same manual as me) or look up MASTER TUNING in the index
