All user reviews of 3/5 for the Yamaha SY77

****** UPDATE ******* FULL SOUND, SOFTWARE *********** GO SEE MY PAGE SY77!! http://blouby.chez -alice.fr / ( http://blouby.chez-alice.fr/ )

This device was released in 1989. C'tait the renewal of the firm Yamaha. We had to show their expertise because for quite some time they did that with the FM synths (dx21/dx27/DS55/B200) and against M1 and D50 comments they falter. For the era, the CHARACTERISTICS of SY taient allchantes.

Trs Premire the keyboard is good. This is the same as the T-korg-01W-Trinity, so a REFERENCE, dynamic, aftertouch. This also means that rsiste well in time. The screen is large and features are clearly explained. There are function keys under the screen, allowing accder other pages. You can also go directly to a page by typing 'JUMP' + numro the page is very practical. There are three wheels, including a super convenient that I use all the time, such as assignable to the filter (the others are also assignable!). The floppy drive is super convenient as it is compatible MS-DOS, in 1989 yes yes! it is compatible, but on 720k floppies. So we take the sounds that have been found on the internet and loaded! IMPORTANT NOTE: The floppy drive is often a problem nuncio. Ultimately it is only a problem of belt in 90% of cases. Just put an elastic large enough, not too thick and not too tight and the drive working again, that's what I did (there are pictures on my homepage)! There is a function PATTERN, it is actually loops! You hit a bass drum on the first beat and every first time he will play the bass drum. It's great practice To create rhythms. For the rest, sysex, squenceur, super powerful multi-effects, dynamic 24 dB (the maximum discharge, attention to the speakers!) Super filter ....

UTILIZATION

The use is very simple, everything is shown on the screen, and frankly, a compar EX5 I find it easier. But when it comes to programming, we enter the 1200 paramtres possible sound. So it's clear that it is simple pa. But it also shows its power.

I love the phylo of the device. It is very practical, and even empty of use. On this point I think it was a good step ahead of other device, such as a VFX. The VFX has good sounds but the phylo of the device is complicated.

I t tonn!
A good piano sound .. a good sax sound .. Forget it! He does not know it. The pianos are in 1990, sax too short sounds are typical of those years. But beware, ds that we go into the sounds of the synthse OUAHHH we take a slap. Carment is something else from my trinity. Of course the FM brings all the sounds of the DX, powerful synthetic bass, keyboards mtalliques clear and powerful organs not evils at all ... AWM provides the analog sounds bold, big, beautiful tablecloths, but when you combine the two, we get incredible sounds, spatial environments, universes gloques, tablecloths spychiques deep, bass heavy trs. In short I did not have when you buy. Especially if you look for hyper ralistes sounds, it is not for you. For leave of the beginning, the pianos are not too bad in a mix or scne but hey .. they are low mchantes!

Synthse:
Please note there is the job. Premire there is the FM, we can (thanks utilities!) Load all the sounds of the DX7. So you can imagine the number of sounds, the potential! and then you can grind your way. We can biensur CRER in others because there are more oscillator and they are more flexible than the DX. Well there is the subtractive synthse the AWM2. L is the classic. Sounds are not bad but it is better since. And of course the inovation of this device, the modulation of an FM in the AWM. I do not tell you it's not easy!

Change on 21/02/2006
Well, I spent some time on it and I still agree that the synthetic sounds are really good, but do not be content with the factory presets. They are void. Unfortunately I am not a fan of the trs synthse FM.

OVERALL OPINION

Brief. On scne it is very well, a good keyboard. But now I think this machine is made to move in mix of RAVE, TECHNO, DANCE, AMBIENT, but not in an orchestra. I will put ending for an online site containing all the synths I have had. With DMOS DMOS including SY. Are not found on the net! If you have any questions ... MAIL!
