The SY85 makes editing easy by providing a consistent, logical control interface via which parameters can be located and edited. Once you’ve learned the general procedure, you can locate and edit any of the SY85’s many parameters quickly and easily. ■ Mode Selection All SY85 edit modes are selected via the MODE matrix keys. To select the VOICE EDIT mode, for example, press the VOICE mode key so that its indicator lights, than press the second SUB MODE key in the VOICE column (EDIT).
From this display you can use either the data entry dial or the [-1] and [+1] keys to directly select any of the 8 available functions, then press the [ENTER/ YES] key to actually select the specified function. The illustrations here are not available. k l In some cases the PAGE [ ] and [ ] or [MENU] keys will take you to another entry screen.
■ Selecting & Editing Parameters Most SY85 edit screens contain several parameters that can be selected and edited. In most cases you can simply operate the continuous slider immediately below the parameter you want to edit on the display. Operating a slider automatically moves the underline cursor to the corresponding parameter. In the example below, for example (this is the VOICE EDIT mode Oscillator screen), the [CS5] slider can be used to adjust the “Fine” parameter.
■ Controller Assignment Display It is possible to assign a wide range of parameters to be controlled by the [CS1] through [CS4] sliders when playing in the VOICE or PERFORMANCE PLAY modes. Since it is easy to forget what parameters have been assigned to which sliders, the SY85 features a controller assignment display that can be selected temporarily by pressing the [SHIFT] key in the VOICE or PERFORMANCE PLAY mode.
PERFORMANCE EDIT MODE
1: VOICE NUMBER [PERFORMANCE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 1:Layer → [ENTER/YES] → [ENTER/YES] → → [MENU] → 1:Voice Number → [ENTER/YES] SY85 performance combinations can have up to four voices assigned to different “layers” — A, B, C and D. This screen lets you assign voices to the layers.
2: VOLUME [PERFORMANCE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 1:Layer → [ENTER/YES] → [ENTER/YES] → → [MENU] → 2:Volume → [ENTER/YES] For optimum balance between the voices in a performance combination, this screen allows the volume of each voice to be adjusted individually. LAYER`Volume``````````````ABCD ``````127ƒ``````127ƒ``````127ƒ``````127ƒ F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 CS1 CS2 CS3 CS4 CS5 CS6 CS7 CS8 The name of the currently selected voice/layer is shown in the upper right corner of the display.
3: PAN [PERFORMANCE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 1:Layer → [ENTER/YES] → [ENTER/YES] → → [MENU] → 3:Pan → [ENTER/YES] In multi-layer performance combinations, interesting stereo effects can be produced by placing the output from different layers at different locations in the stereo sound field. The parameters in this screen determine the position in the stereo sound field in which the sound from each active layer will be heard (left to right).
4: TUNE [PERFORMANCE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 1:Layer → [ENTER/YES] → [ENTER/YES] → → [MENU] → 4:Tune → [ENTER/YES] More than just simple tuning, the note shift and fine tune parameters make it possible to create harmony and voice-thickening detune effects between layers.
5: NOTE LIMIT [PERFORMANCE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 1:Layer → [ENTER/YES] → [ENTER/YES] → → [MENU] → 5:Note Limit → [ENTER/YES] The low and high note limit parameters make it possible to create a range of split keyboard effects using the performance layers. You could have two layers on either side of a single split point, a four-way split keyboard, or any other possible combination.
Hi (High note limit) Range: C-2 … G8 Controls: [CS2], [CS4], [CS6], [CS8], [-1] [+1], Dial, [SHIFT]+keyboard Individually sets the high note limit for each active layer (the highest note that each layer will produce). Use the [CS2], [CS4], [CS6], and [CS8] sliders to set the high note limits of the A, B, C, and D layer voices, respectively. It is also possible to press the desired note on the keyboard while holding the [SHIFT] key. See the “Lo” parameter, above, for more details.
6: VELOCITY LIMIT [PERFORMANCE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 1:Layer → [ENTER/YES] → [ENTER/YES] → → [MENU] → 6:VelocityLimit → [ENTER/YES] The high and low velocity limit parameters make it possible to produce a range of “velocity switching” effects in which different layers of a performance combination are set up to produce sound only when the keyboard is played at a certain velocity. You could, for example, produce a flute sound by playing softly, and a horn sound by playing harder.
Hi (High velocity limit) Range: 1 … 127 Controls: [CS2], [CS4], [CS6], [CS8], [-1] [+1], Dial, [SHIFT]+keyboard Sets the highest velocity value for a range of velocity values over which each active layer will produce output. Use the [CS2], [CS4], [CS6], and [CS8] sliders to set the high velocity limits of the A, B, C, and D layer voices, respectively. It is also possible to play any note on the keyboard at the desired velocity while holding the [SHIFT] key. See the “Lo” parameter, above, for more details.
7: CS ENABLE [PERFORMANCE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 1:Layer → [ENTER/YES] → [ENTER/YES] → → [MENU] → 7:CS Enable → [ENTER/YES] The CS3 and CS4 sliders can be used to control the level of individual layers or specified groups of layers in the performance play mode. This screen specifies which slider controls which layers.
LAYER DATA COPY [PERFORMANCE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 1:Layer → [ENTER/YES] → [COPY] This function facilitates performance editing by allowing the layer parameters from any layer in any other performance (the “source” performance) to be copied to the current layer. You can copy a layer setup that is close to the type you want, then edit it to produce the required sound.
PERFORMANCE TOTAL LEVEL [PERFORMANCE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 2:Total Level → [ENTER/YES] This parameter sets the overall volume of the current performance combination in relation to the others, making it possible to match levels for smooth transition when switching between performance combinations.
PERFORMANCE NAME [PERFORMANCE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 3:Name → [ENTER/YES] Your original performance combinations should naturally have original names. This function can be used to assign a name of up to 8 characters to the current performance.
LAYER VOICE EDIT MENU [PERFORMANCE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 4:Layer Voice → [ENTER/YES] The Layer Voice Edit menu allows you to access any of the voice edit parameters for the voice assigned to the currently selected performance layer, without having to leave the performance edit mode. LAYER`VOICE` `````````````````````````````Hit`[ENTER] F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 CS1 CS2 CS3 CS4 CS5 CS6 CS7 CS8 Press [ENTER/YES] from the entry display (above) to access the layer voice edit menu.
1: AMPLITUDE EG OFFSET [PERFORMANCE] → [QUICK EDIT] → [MENU] → 1:AEG Offset → [ENTER/YES] These parameters allow the amplitude envelopes of the voices assigned to each layer to be modified to some degree. The actual amplitude EG of the voices are not affected, these “offset” values are only effective in the performance mode.
RR (Release rate) Range: -63 … +63 Controls: [CS6], [-1] [+1], Dial Modifies the “RR” parameter of the voice amplitude EG — see page 60. Plus (+) values produce a faster release rate while minus (-) values produce a slower release rate. No matter how much offset is applied, the minimum and maximum EG release rates cannot be exceeded. Vel (Velocity sensitivity) Range: -14 ... +14 Controls: [CS7], [-1] [+1], Dial Modifies the amplitude EG velocity sensitivity setting (see page 63).
2: LFO & FILTER OFFSET [PERFORMANCE] → [QUICK EDIT] → [MENU] → 2:LFO,Filter Offset → [ENTER/YES] These parameters allow the main LFO and filter parameters of the voices assigned to each layer to be modified to some degree. The actual LFO and filter parameters of the voices are not affected, these “offset” values are only effective in the performance mode.
Coff (Filter cutoff frequency) Range: -127 … +127 Controls: [CS6], [-1] [+1], Dial Modifies the filter cutoff frequency (this corresponds to the voice filter “CutOff” parameter — see page 65). Plus (+) values increase the cutoff frequency while minus (-) values lower the cutoff frequency. This parameter cannot be used if the filter is set to “Thru”. In this case “----” appears in place of the parameter value.
3: CONTROLLER CONDITIONS [PERFORMANCE] → [QUICK EDIT] → [MENU] → 3:Controller Condition → [ENTER/YES] These parameters determine how the performance layers are affected by keyboard aftertouch response, the modulation wheel, and the foot controller.

AT>MW (Aftertouch ➔ modulation wheel) Range: off, on Controls: [CS7], [-1] [+1], Dial When this parameter is turned “on,” aftertouch can be used to prouce the same effect as the modulation wheel, in addition to any parameters assigned to aftertouch. MW>AT (Modulation wheel ➔ aftertouch) Range: off, on Controls: [CS8], [-1] [+1], Dial When this parameter is turned “on,” the modulation wheel can be used to produce the same effect as aftertouch, in addition to any parameters assigned to the modulation wheel.
4: OTHER CONDITIONS [PERFORMANCE] → [QUICK EDIT] → [MENU] → 4:Other Condition → [ENTER/YES] Other parameters that can be individually set for each performance layer are provided in this screen: sustain enable, pitch envelope generator enable, oscillator fixed note mode and note number.
FixNote (Oscillator fix note number) Range: C-2 … G8 Controls: [CS7], [-1] [+1], Dial Sets the frequency (note) at which the selected layer will be played when the “fix” mode is turned on (“---” is displayed in place of the note when the “fix” mode is turned off). The C-2 to G8 range of this parameter covers a full 10-1/2 octaves. “C3” corresponds to “middle C” on a keyboard.
5: EFFECT TYPE [PERFORMANCE] → [QUICK EDIT] → [MENU] → 5:Effect Type → [ENTER/YES] The SY85 features a complex, high-performance effect system that can be programmed easily via the parameters presented here and in the following screen.

The four effect 1 parameters are edited via [CS1] through [CS4], while the four effect 2 parameters are edited via [CS5] through [CS8].
1: MODE, TYPE [PERFORMANCE] → [EFFECT EDIT] → [MENU] → 1:Mode, Type → [ENTER/YES] The SY85 features a dual-processor effect system that includes 90 top-quality digital effects. Two different effects can be connected in series or parallel, providing an extensive range of possible configurations. EF`Mode`````EF1`Type```````EF2`Type`` ```2:para```06:Rev.
2: SEND SELECT & LEVEL [PERFORMANCE] → [EFFECT EDIT] → [MENU] → 2:Send → [ENTER/YES] The parameters provided here determine to which of the SY85 effect stages the output from the voice assigned to each layer is sent, and at what level. It is also possible to control the effect send level via keyboard dynamics and key scaling.
Send (Send level) Range: 0 … 127 Controls: [CS6], [-1] [+1], Dial This parameter adjusts the amount of direct voice signal that is sent to the effect processors, determining the strength of the final effect sound. A setting of “0” results in no effect, leaving only the “dry” sound of the voice. The maximum setting of “127” produces the maximum amount of effect.
3: LAYER DRY OUTPUT SELECT [PERFORMANCE] → [EFFECT EDIT] → [MENU] → 3:Layer Dry Out Select → [ENTER/YES] These parameters determine turn the “dry lines” (i.e. the signal paths which bypasses each effect processor) on or off, determining whether any dry signal output can occur at OUTPUT 1 and OUTPUT 2.
4: OUTPUT LEVEL [PERFORMANCE] → [EFFECT EDIT] → [MENU] → 4:Output Level → [ENTER/YES] Depending on the selected effects the SY85 effect system can have up to four separate output levels that are adjusted by the parameters provided in this screen.
5: WET:DRY BALANCE [PERFORMANCE] → [EFFECT EDIT] → [MENU] → 5:Wet:Dry Balance → [ENTER/YES] The balance between the direct sound of the voice and the effect sound is a delicate thing. Even slight changes can make a big difference to the final sound. The parameters provided in this screen provide precise balance control.
6: SEND & EFFECT 2 MIX LEVEL [PERFORMANCE] → [EFFECT EDIT] → [MENU] → 6:Mix Level → [ENTER/YES] These parameters determine the mix level between each effect send and the output of the preceding effect stage. Refer to the section beginning on page 254 for details on the overall SY85 effect system.
7: EFFECT 1 PARAMETERS 8: EFFECT 2 PARAMETERS [PERFORMANCE] → [EFFECT EDIT] → [MENU] → 7:EF1 Parameter → [ENTER/YES] → 8:EF2 Parameter → [ENTER/YES] Each of the SY85’s 90 effects has 8 parameters that can be edited via the parameters in this screen to fine-tune the effect.

9: CONTROL PARAMETERS [PERFORMANCE] → [EFFECT EDIT] → [MENU] → 9:Control Parameter → [ENTER/YES] The SY85 [CS1] and [CS2] sliders can be assigned to control different effect parameters in real time while playing in the voice or performance modes. The parameters provided in this screen determine which effect parameters are to be controlled by the [CS1] and [CS2] sliders, the minimum and maximum parameter values, and assign MIDI control numbers to the same parameters for MIDI effect control.
Max (Maximum parameter value) Range: 0 … 100 Controls: [CS5], [-1] [+1], Dial Sets the upper limit of the [CS1] or [CS2] control range. A setting of “100”, for example, means that when the slider is set to its highest position the assigned parameter will also be set to its highest value. A setting of “80” means that the highest slider position will set the assigned parameter to about 80% of its range (a parameter with a range of 0 to 127, for example, would be set to about 102).
10: CONTROL LFO [PERFORMANCE] → [EFFECT EDIT] → [MENU] → 10:Control LFO → [ENTER/YES] All of the modulation-type effects — chorus, flanging, etc. — require LFO control. The SY85 has an independent effect LFO that is set up by the following parameters.
EFFECT DATA COPY [PERFORMANCE] → [EFFECT EDIT] → [COPY] This function facilitates performance effect editing by allowing the effect parameters from any other song, voice, or performance combination to be copied to the current performance combination. You can copy an effect setup that is close to the type you want, then edit it to produce the required sound.
EFFECT SIGNAL FLOW DISPLAY [PERFORMANCE] → [EFFECT EDIT] → [SHIFT] + [F1] ~ [F3] This function provides a graphic indication of the current effect system configuration while in the effect edit mode. ● Overall Effect Flow EFFECT`FLOW`Ú`∏Á∏∏∏∏∏∏ Î`Ú`EF1=Rev.
1: LAYER CONTROLLER SYNC [PERFORMANCE] → [JOB] → [MENU] → 1:Layer Controller Sync → [ENTER/YES] This function changes the controller parameters of all voices in the selected perfomance combination to match those of the voice assigned to the specified “source” layer.
2: LAYER EXCHANGE [PERFORMANCE] → [JOB] → [MENU] → 2:Layer Exchange → [ENTER/YES] This function can be used to eliminate the audible effects of slight note delays that can occur in the performance play mode. The notes played by layers A, B, C, and D are sounded in sequence in the performance play mode. Normally the delay is so slight that it is not audible. If a voice with a sharp attack is assigned to one of the later layers (C or D), however, the delay can “soften” the attack of the voice.
3: PERFORMANCE EDIT RECALL [PERFORMANCE] → [JOB] → [MENU] → 3:Recall → [ENTER/YES] If you’re dissatisfied with the results of edits you’ve made to a performance combination, or have accidentally lost track of changes made, use the PERFORMANCE EDIT RECALL function to recall the pre-edit performance data from the SY85’s backup buffer memory. PERFORMANCE`JOB`Recall```````` `` F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 CS1 CS2 CS3 CS4 CS5 CS6 CS7 CS8 Press [ENTER/YES] to begin the recall procedure.
4: PERFORMANCE INITIALIZE [PERFORMANCE] → [JOB] → [MENU] → 4:Initialize → [ENTER/YES] When you want to program a totally new performance combination “from scratch,” rather than editing an existing combination, use this function to initialize all performance parameters.
PERFORMANCE COMPARE [SHIFT] + [STORE] The performance compare function makes it possible to compare the sound of a performance combination being edited with the same performance combination prior to editing. The illustrations here are not available. To temporarily recall the original performance data while editing, press the [STORE] key while holding the [SHIFT] key. The [PERFORMANCE] LED will flash, indicating that the compare mode is engaged.
PERFORMANCE STORE [STORE] When you’re satsfied with a new performance combination you’ve created in the performance edit mode, use the store function described below to store the new performance combination to an internal or card memory location.
VOICE EDIT MODE
OSCILLATOR [VOICE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 1:Oscillator → [ENTER/YES] This screen contains 6 parameters that determine the fundamental sound of the voice being edited — including the number of the waveform on which the voice will be based.
Please note that this parameter is used to individually tune the current voice. Overall tuning control is provided by the MASTER TUNE function available in the UTILITY mode. Note Range: C-2 … G8, -64 … +63 Controls: [CS6], [-1] [+1], Dial When the “fix” mode is selected this parameters sets the frequency (note) at which the selected wave will be played. The C-2 to G8 range of this parameter covers a full 10-1/2 octaves. “C3” corresponds to “middle C” on a keyboard.
1: AEG LEVEL & RATE [VOICE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 2:Amlitude EG → [ENTER/YES] → [ENTER/YES] → → [MENU] → 1:Level&Rate → [ENTER/YES] The SY85’s main AEG (Amplitude Envelope generator) has five individually programmable rates and two levels for exceptional envelope programming flexibility. Next to the fundamental waveform used, the amplitude envelope is one of the most important factors determining the overall sound of a voice.
The envelope begins at zero level, reaches maximum level at the rate determined by the R1 parameter, moves to L2 (Level 2) at R2 (Rate 2), moves on to L3 (Level 3) at R3 (Rate 3), and finally decays to zero level at R4 (Rate 4) if the note is held the entire time. If the note is released before the end of the envelope described above, then the sound decays to zero level from the point at which the note is released at the rate determined by the RR (Release Rate) parameter.
2: LEVEL SCALING [VOICE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 2:Amlitude EG → [ENTER/YES] → [ENTER/YES] → → [MENU] → 2:Level Scaling → [ENTER/YES] Level scaling produces natural level variations across the range of the keyboard by allowing different level “offset” values to be applied to each of four “breakpoints” set at appropriate keys.

AEG DATA COPY [VOICE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 2:Amplitude EG → [ENTER/YES] → [ENTER/YES] → [COPY] This function facilitates voice editing by allowing the amplitude EG data from any other voice (the “source” voice) to be copied to the current voice. You can copy an envelope that is close to the type you want, then edit it to produce the required sound.
1:TYPE, CUTOFF FREQUENCY [VOICE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 3:Filter → [ENTER/YES] → [ENTER/YES] → → [MENU] → 1:Cutoff Frequency → [ENTER/YES] The SY85 features a sophisticated digital filter system that can be used to shape the timbre of the voice being edited in a number of ways. Changes in the response and cutoff frequency can be used to define the basic timbre of the voice, while EGcontrolled filter sweeps can produce a virtually unlimited range of time-based timbre variations. FILTER`Cutoff`Freq.
Type (Filter type) Range: THRU, LPF, LPF12, HPF, BPF, BEF Controls: [CS5], [-1] [+1], Dial Determines the type of filter response used. The “THRU” (THROUGH) setting turns the filter OFF. ● “LPF” and “LPF12” Types The “LPF” (Low Pass Filter) and “LPF12” settings produces a filter response that allows only frequencies below the cutoff frequency (See “Cutoff” above) to pass. The “LPF” filter type has a steep 24-dB/octave cutoff slope, while the “LPF12” type has a gentler 12-dB/octave slope.
● “BPF” Type The “BPF” (Band Pass Filter) setting produces a filter response that allows only a band of frequencies centered at the cutoff frequency (See “Cutoff” above) to pass. The “Band” parameter (below) determines the width of the pass band. The illustrations here are not available. ● “BEF” Type The “BEF” (Band Elimination Filter) setting produces a filter response that eliminates a band of frequencies centered at the cutoff frequency (See “Cutoff” above) to pass.
Reso (Resonance) Range: 0 … 99 Controls: [CS7], [-1] [+1], Dial Determines the degree of filter resonance when the “LPF” filter type is selected (“--” appears in place of the resonance parameter when any other filter type is selected). This parameter has a similar effect to the “resonance” settings on traditional analog synthesizer filters — i.e. it determines the height of a peak in the filter response at the cutoff frequency. The illustrations here are not available.
2: CUTOFF SCALING [VOICE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 3:Filter → [ENTER/YES] → [ENTER/YES] → → [MENU] → 2:Cutoff Scaling → [ENTER/YES] Cutoff scaling produces natural timbre variations across the range of the keyboard by allowing different filter cutoff frequency “offset” values to be applied to each of four “breakpoints” set at appropriate keys.
3: FEG LEVEL & RATE [VOICE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 3:Filter → [ENTER/YES] → [ENTER/YES] → → [MENU] → 3:FEG Level&Rate → [ENTER/YES] The filter envelope generator is entirely separate from the amplitude EG, and is used specifically to create time-based timbre variations. It can be used to simulate the natural timbre variations produced by acoustic instruments, or to create more pronounced electronic effects.
values produce lower cutoff frequencies. “0” level values produce the normal cutoff frequency as determined by the cutoff parameter (See “Cutoff” on page 65). RS (Rate scaling) Range: -7 ... +7 Controls: [CS2], [-1] [+1], Dial Allows the overall cutoff envelope generator rate for the selected filter to be varied across the entire pitch range (i.e. keyboard range). This function is only available if the “CTRL” parameter (page 68) is set to “EG.
4: FILTER SENSITIVITY [VOICE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 3:Filter → [ENTER/YES] → [ENTER/YES] → → [MENU] → 4:Filter Sensitivity → [ENTER/YES] These parameters determine how the filter envelope generator is affected by keyboard dynamics. FILTER`SENS.
FILTER DATA COPY [VOICE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 3:Filter → [ENTER/YES]→ [ENTER/YES]→ [COPY] This function facilitates voice editing by allowing the filter parameters from any other voice (the “source” voice) to be copied to the current voice. You can copy a filter setup that is close to the type you want, then edit it to produce the required sound.
1: LEVEL & RATE [VOICE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 4:Pitch EG → [ENTER/YES] → [ENTER/YES] → → [MENU] → 1:Level&Rate → [ENTER/YES] In addition to the amplitude and filter envelope generators, the SY85 has an independent pitch EG that can be used to produce subtle or pronounced time-based pitch variations. The pitch EG has 5 programmable levels and 4 rates for extended flexibility.
Loop Range: off, on Controls: [CS3], [-1] [+1], Dial When the Loop parameter is set to “on” the pitch EG cycle repeats from the beginning (L0) to the L3 level until the keys being played are released. When set to “off,” the L3 level is maintained until the keys being played are released. R1 … R3, RR (Rates 1 … 3, release rate) Range: 0 ...
2: RANGE, SENSITIVITY [VOICE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 4:Pitch EG → [ENTER/YES] → [ENTER/YES] → → [MENU] → 2:Sensitivity → [ENTER/YES] These parameters determined the overall range of the pitch EG, and how it is affected by variations in keyboard velocity. PEG`SENS.
PITCH EG DATA COPY [VOICE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 4:Pitch EG → [ENTER/YES] → [ENTER/YES] → [COPY] This function facilitates voice editing by allowing the pitch EG parameters from any other voice (the “source” voice) to be copied to the current voice. You can copy a pitch EG setup that is close to the type you want, then edit it to produce the required sound.
1: LFO [VOICE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 5:LFO → [ENTER/YES] → [ENTER/YES] → → [MENU] → 1:LFO → [ENTER/YES] These parameters define the operation of the SY85’s main LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator). The main LFO controls amplitude, pitch, frequency, and filter cutoff modulation applied via the modulation wheel, the foot controller, and keyboard aftertouch response.
Amod (Amplitude modulation depth) Range: 0 … 127 Controls: [CS5], [-1] [+1], Dial Sets the maximum amount of amplitude modulation that can be applied to the current voice. A “0” setting produces no modulation while a setting of “127” produces maximum modulation. Amplitude modulation produces a periodic variation in the volume of the sound, thus creating a tremolo effect.
2: LFO SPEED SENSITIVITY [VOICE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 5:LFO → [ENTER/YES] → [ENTER/YES] → → [MENU] → 2:LFO Speed Sensitivity → [ENTER/YES] The speed of the SY85 LFO can be varied randomly, and according to variations in keyboard velocity and range. Such variations can produce more natural, musical effects. LFO`SPEED`SENS.
LFO DATA COPY [VOICE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 5:LFO → [ENTER/YES] → [ENTER/YES] → [COPY] This function facilitates voice editing by allowing the LFO parameters from any other voice (the “source” voice) to be copied to the current voice. You can copy an LFO setup that is close to the type you want, then edit it to produce the required sound.
1: PITCH BEND RANGE [VOICE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 6:Controller → [ENTER/YES] → [ENTER/YES] → → [MENU] → 1:Pitch Bend Range → [ENTER/YES] This screen includes parameters that set the SY85’s pitch bend range, the minimum volume attainable with the foot volume controller, and the sustain switch enable/disable mode.
2: MODULATION WHEEL DEPTH [VOICE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 6:Controller → [ENTER/YES] → [ENTER/YES] → → [MENU] → 2:MW Depth → [ENTER/YES] The modulation wheel can be used to control a wide range of modulation effects. The parameters provided in this screen set the depth of each effect type.
Fmod (Frequency modulation depth) Range: 0 … 127 Controls: [CS6], [-1] [+1], Dial Sets the maximum depth of filter cutoff frequency modulation (wah-wah type effects) applied via the modulation wheel.

Quantization is generally used to tighten up sloppy timing. Use it judiciously, however, because timing that is too perfect can sound cold and mechanical — unless, of course, you’re specifically aiming for a cold, mechanical feel. Always use a quantize value that is at least as “short” as the shortest notes in the track to be quantized. If you quantize a track containing 16th notes to 1/8 (8th notes), for example, some of the 16th notes will be aligned with 8th note beats, thus ruining the track.

Next, use [CS5] to select the number of the disk file (01 through 99) that you want to load from or save to. In the case of utilities number 4 and 5, you also need to select the number of the song (1 through 10) to be loaded or saved via [CS8].
6: MDR [UTILITY] → [DISK] → [MENU] → 6:MDR → [ENTER/YES] The MDR (MIDI Data Recorder) utilities allow MIDI bulk dump data to be transferred between different MIDI devices via the SY85, and saved to or loaded from floppy disk. Engaging the MDR utilities required an extra confirmation step since all sequencer data in the SY85 song memory is erased when the MDR functions are used. This is because the sequencer memory is used as temporary storage for MDR data handled by the SY85.
● 1: MDR IN/OUT This utility allows MIDI bulk data to be received from an external device and stored in the SY85 internal memory, after which it can be saved to disk by using the MDR SAVE utility, described next. In the same way, MIDI bulk data that has been loaded into the SY85 memory from disk using the MDR LOAD utility can be transmitted to an external device.
● 2: MDR SAVE/LOAD This utility is used to move MDR data between the internal memory and disk. A SAVE operation saves MDR data from the internal memory to the specified disk file number, and a LOAD operation loads MDR data to the internal memory from the specified disk file number.
7: RENAME/DELETE [UTILITY] → [DISK] → [MENU] → 7:Rename, Delete → [ENTER/YES] These utilities allow disk files to be renamed or deleted.

Org (Original note) Range: C-2 … C8 Controls: [CS3], [-1] [+1], Dial, Keyboard This parameter specifies the “original note” to which the pitch of the raw waveform will be assigned. In addition to the [CS3] slider, the original note can be specified by pressing the appropriate key on the keyboard if the cursor is located below the “Org” parameter. If, for example, the raw sample has a pitch of C3, then setting this parameter to “C3” will cause the right note to sound when the C3 key is played.
● 2: SAMPLE DATA l If not already selected, press the PAGE [ ] key to select this screen. These functions allow the volume, pitch, and loop characteristics of each sample assigned to the waveform to be set individually. If more than one sample is assigned, start by selecting the sample you want to edit via the “Sample” parameter, then use the “Vol”, “Pitch”, “Loop”, and “Typ” parameters to edit the specified sample.
Loop Range: FOne, FLp, BOne, BLp Controls: [CS5], [-1] [+1], Dial Selects the type of loop to be used for playback of the selected sample. The settings are: FOne = Forward one-shot. The sample is played in the normal forward direction and is not looped (i.e. the sound stops a the end of the sample). FLp = Forward loop. The sample is played in the normal forward direction and is looped (repeated) as long as the key is held. BOne = Backward one-shot. The sample is played backward and is not looped (i.e.

EFFECTS The SY85 features a sophisticated effect system that affords extraordinary sound-shaping potential. It includes two separate effect processors — referred to a EFFECT 1 and EFFECT 2 in this manual — that can be connected either in series or in parallel via the effect “Mode” parameter (page 105 for voice effects, page 128 for drum voice effects, page 37 for performance effects, page 166 for song mode effects).
The “Cascade” effects actually include two effects connected in a cascade configuration. Effect number 33 (Flg → Rev), for example, includes cascaded flanger and reverb. The illustrations here are not available. The “Dual” effects include two effects connected in parallel. The illustrations here are not available. Clearly, the possibilities for combining effect modes with effect types allows a large variety of effect system configurations.
■ Effect Signal Flow Diagrams — Voice Mode The following diagrams illustrate effect signal flow with different effect mode and effect type combinations in the normal voice mode. In the diagrams a diamond (◆) indicates an on/off switch parameter, and a block (■) indicates a continuously variable level or mix parameter. Although abbreviated in the diagrams, the direct and effect output signal paths are stereo. ● EFFECT MODE = off. The illustrations here are not available. ● EFFECT MODE = serial.

WAVE MEMORY EXPANSION The SY85 comes with 512 kilobytes of internal wave RAM memory for storage of wave data loaded from floppy disk or via the MIDI interface (MIDI sample dump). The internal wave memory is not backed up like the voice, performance, and song memories, and is therefore “volatile” (i.e. the contents of the memory are lost when the SY85 power is turned off). Extra memory modules can be added to the SY85 to expand the wave memory to a maximum of 3.5 megabytes.
■ Memory Installation CAUTION Memory Installation can erase internal memory! Be sure to safe all internal data to disk or card before installing memory. 1 Turn the SY85 power switch OFF, and disconnect the AC power cord from the mains outlet. 2 Place the SY85 face down on a stable, padded surface. 3 Locate the small cover on the bottom panel, and remove the six screws that hold it in place (figure 1). The illustrations here are not available. 4 Below the cover you will see two recessed panels.
5 INSTALLING SYEMB06 MODULES: A RAM card adapter (provided) is required to install SYEMB06 modules. Assemble the SYEMB06 and adapter as shown in figure 3. The illustrations here are not available. 6 When installing a single SYEMB06 use slot number 1 (figure 4). Install a second SYEMB06 in slot number 2. If you will not be installing SIMM memory modules skip ahead to step number 8. The illustrations here are not available.
7 INSTALLING SIMM MODULES: The right panel accomodates compatible SIMM memory modules. Two SIMM modules (1 megabyte each) must be installed in connector CN13. Keyboard SIMM The illustrations here are not available. 8 Replace the expansion slot cover and attach with the six screws removed in step 3. IMPORTANT 288 APPENDIX / Once installed, SYEMB06 memory expansion modules cannot be removed (the plastic rivets lock the boards in place).

About the Standard MIDI File Format The Standard MIDI File Format is a standard which has recently been implemented by a number of software and hardware makers. This standardized format allows song data to be transferred easily between different sequencers — even between sequencers made by different manufacturers. The SY85 supports two Standard MIDI File types, known as format 0 and format 1.
SPECIFICATIONS Keyboard 61 keys, initial and after-touch response. Tone Generator Systems AWM2 (2nd-generation Advanced Wave Memory), 30-note polyphony. Internal Memory Wave ROM: 6 megabytes (48 Mbits). Wave RAM: 0.5 megabyte, expandable to 3.5 megabytes. Internal RAM: 256 voices, 128 performance combinations, 10 multi-play setups. External Memory 3.5” 2DD floppy disk drive. MCD64 memory card for voice data (DATA x 1, WAVE x 1). Sequencer Tracks: 9 (8 normal + 1 rhythm). Songs: 10 songs.
ERROR MESSAGE ● MIDI DISPLAY COMMENTS MIDI`buffer`full`! When the SY85 attempted to receive or transmit a large amount of MIDI data, its handling capacity was exceeded. MIDI`data`error`! An error occurred when receiving MIDI data. MIDI`checksum`err`! An error occurred when receiving bulk data. MIDI`Bulk`canceled`! While receiving or transmitting bulk data, [EXIT/NO] was pressed to abort the operation. Bulk`protected`! Since the “Bulk Protect” parameter is on, the bulk data was not received.
● Disk DISPLAY COMMENTS Disk`not`ready`! The disk is not correctly inserted into the disk drive. Illegal`change`! During the backup operation, the original and backup disks were inserted in the wrong order. Illegal`disk`! The data in the disk is faulty. Bad`disk`! The disk is faulty. File`not`found`! The file was not found, or you attempted to load a file that does not have a legal MS-DOS file name. Write`protected`! The disk is write protected.
● Sample DISPLAY COMMENTS Sample`memory`full`! Since the sample memory is full, further loading of sample data is not possible. Not`enough`memory`for`Volatie`! Not enough volatile memory. Wave memory allocation setting cannot be changed. Not`enough`memory`for`Non_Vol.`! Not enough non-volatile memory. Wave memory allocation setting cannot be changed. Sample`data`not`exists`! Since no sample exists in the specified sample number, bulk transmission is not possible.

TROUBLE SHOOTING The SY85 is a very versatile instrument with many features and functions that affect operation. In many cases, what appears to be a fault with the SY85 can actually be traced to an improperly set parameter or, at the most fundamental level, to something as simple as a bad connection. Here’s how to determine if the problem is internal (e.g. parameter settings) or external (e.g. connections, amplifier, etc.): ● Listen Via Headphones. Plug a pair of headphones into the SY85 and play.
● Voice Mode Problems Symptom Possible Cause No Sound • Is the pitch envelope generator set properly? If the L0 through L3 parameters are set too low, the resultant pitch may be below the audible range (page 74).
