Beautiful 5 octave synth with all the usual classic elements and a small LCD display 2 lines of 16 characters. "Simple and effective."
64 presets available (Voices 8 * 8) + 16 in Multi (2 * 8) that are actually combinations or rather split the keyboard.
16 voice polyphony. 16 effects.
128 sampled sounds 16-bit (2 MB ROM).
UTILIZATION
I already have a sampler Ensoniq ASR-10 so it's clear that when it comes to pianos, orchestral sounds, drums or other I do not count on it. However it is a perfect complement. The ASR I did not really sound "synthetic" or tablecloths or sounding so they take up space. I can not turn on the computer to access the virtual and plugins without having to load the OS and the samples on my ASR-10 to give free rein to my imagination immediately (start time: 3-4s). Just something boring, I find that the sounds are sometimes at very different levels of volume. Ditto for the octaves used, it must now transpose the preset in the acute, sometimes in the bass. It is subjective but I agree with myself.
SOUNDS
Sounds, far from being to die for 2005 are already bluffing and correspond to my expectations. Must be said that 150 euros used here is still very reasonable. So I think for the price sounds more than satisfactory in piano, strings, flutes, bass, ... and synthesizers. Must be said that in addition to each preset is a combination of two or four different sounds. And we can play with a wheel: the "vector control" which is neither more nor less than a joystick that can move in all directions to bring out more or less as sound, do not or, conversely appear only remove one. The result is very interesting.
I'm not a fan of the creation / modification of sounds, therefore not dwell on the possibilities. I'll just say that you can save 64 presets in internal memory in addition to fully customized default 64 in the device. It is also a look at its possible to save data on external cards extra.
OVERALL OPINION
While not a complete revolution (except perhaps its release in 1990), this synth has real assets. The keyboard is nice and fairly light. Sounds useful for any occasion and compliments very well my "studio" with if I need my things and my VST sampler. On the Internet you can easily find software that transmits SysEx the PC to the SY-22 a range of new sounds (recordable then internal or card). I even have to get my hands dirty. Sounds cont compatible TG-33 and SY-35. I go back
