SY77
AWM/AFM Synthesizer Workstation
| Advanced Wave Memory | | Second-generation Advanced Wave Memory (AWM2) offers unmatched sample playback quality. |
| Advanced Frequency Modulation | | Advanced Frequency Modulation (AFM) provides a dramatic boost in FM sound quality and programming versatility. |
| Realtime Convolution & Modulation | | Realtime Convolution & Modulation (RCM) achieves a new fusion of sample realism and the expressive power of FM. |
| Extensive Sample Layering | | SY77's versatile 1, 2, or 4-element voice architecture and complex envelope generators provide extensive sample layering capabilities. |
| Advanced Digital Filters | | Advanced digital filters provide dynamic timbre control. |
| Programmable Envelope Generators | | Multiple complex programmable envelope generators are featured. |
| Dynamic Panning | | Dynamic Panning for sonic animation. |
| Programmable Aftertouch and Assignable Controllers | | Key velocity and after-touch pressure can be assigned to control pitch, filtering, AWM2 modulation level and/or a range of AFM parameters. Assigned parameters can be controlled in a positive or negative direction. There's also an extra assignable center-detented wheel and several assignable controllers in addition to the pitch and modulation wheels. |
| Internal Digital Signal Processors | | Four internal digital signal processors provide essential ambience, two for reverb effects and two for modulation. |
| Display and Data Entry Controls | | Intuitive programming is provided through a user interface consisting of a 240 x 64 dot backlit liquid crystal control panel that makes several parameters visible at the same time. Flow diagrams and bar graphs displayed in graphic form provide instant recognition. A directory helps you locate functions and a unique "jump" number system allows direct switching between related functions. "Smart" function keys makes it easier to move around the programming environment. |
| Multi-timbre Mode and 16-track Sequencer | | Multi-timbre Mode in which 16 different voices can be assinged to 16 different MIDI channels. A sophisticated internal 16-track sequencer makes external equipment unnecessary. 16 memory locations are provided for complete "MULTI" setups including voice-to-channel assignments, individual voice volume, not shif, tuning, panning and effects. A wide variety of built-in drums makes the SY77 a powerful production tool. |
| Dual Assignable Stereo Outputs | | Two pairs of stereo outputs - GROUP 1 and GROUP2 - each with its own front panel group fader provides versatile mixing and real-time control. Elements can be assigned by either or both groups. By using the output assignments parameters in combination with panning it is possible to have each element in a four-element voice to appear separately at a different output. |
| External Storage | | A built-in 3.5" floppy disk drive can be used to store both synthesizer and sequencer data. |
| Complete MIDI Implementation | | A complete set of MIDI parameters has been provided for maximum compatiblity and versatility. Receive and transmit channels are independently programmable, a program change assignment table maximizes voice selection versatility, and a range of bulk dump functions make data transfers to bulk storage devices quick and easy. |
