When the SY77 was released in late 1989, its initial prices were close to $3000 USD/£2000 GBP. Programming is performed through a keypad on the front panel. The SY77 is equipped with a 61-key keyboard with velocity and aftertouch has a pitch wheel and two modulation wheels (the latter being quite a rare feature among keyboards in general) and has a large backlit LCD display, expansion slots, floppy-drive, on-board effects, and a 16,000 note sequencer.
The same technology was also packaged in a rack-mounted module released simultaneously, the TG77. The SY77 is a synthesizer whose architecture combines AFM (Advanced Frequency Modulation) synthesis, AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2) for ROM-borne sample-based synthesis, and the combination of these two methods christened Realtime Convolution and Modulation Synthesis (RCM). Yamaha SY77 is a 16 voice multitimbral music workstation first produced by Yamaha Corporation in 1989. Lowpass (12 dB or 24 dB), highpass, or multi-poleĦ4 custom patches can be stored in battery-powered onboard RAMĢ reverb units (40 effect types) and 2 modulation units (4 effect types)Ħ1 keys with velocity sensitivity and aftertouch Sine, sawtooths, triangle, sample-and-hold can control pitch, amplitude, cutoff, etc.ĭigital Frequency modulation, Digital Sample-based Sine wave and 15 harmonically enhanced variants thereof SYX SysEx file, compatible with the SY and TG77, a SoundQuest Bank, and an Excel file with the patch names for easy import and control from your DAW.32 (16 AFM layers, 16 AWM layers), shared between up to 16 voicesġ6 voices, each containing up to 2 AFM layers and 2 AWM layers Targeted for the electronic keyboardist, this bank is full of comps, leads, brass, pads, and basses. These patches originated as the SoundEngine DX7 banks, which have been regarded far and wide as a group of the best commercial DX7 patches available.Īdding programming for the SY77's low-pass filter, new variations of the patches using the new FM algorithms only available in the SY77, and just a "touch" of effects - these sounds really come alive. Creating sounds using the FM engine even more powerful than that of the DX7, then having the tools of a fat, digital filter and and dual effects processor really get the creative juices flowing. We've recently picked up an SY77 and are highly impressed with its FM capabilities. A bank of keyboard sounds - for electronic artists.
