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).
■ Selecting Specific Edit Functions
Once you’ve selected an edit mode, one way to select the various edit
screens and functions it contains is to use the PAGE [k] and [l] keys. The
[k] and [l] keys step backward and forward through the available screens,
respectively. Hold either of these keys for continuous stepping in the specified
direction.
An alternative method is to use the [MENU] key. If you press the [MENU]
key ion the VOICE EDIT mode, for example, you’ll see a display something
like this:
VOICE`EDIT`MENU``1ø8````````````````````
`````````````1:Oscillator```````````````

keys to directly select any of the 8 available functions, then press the [ENTER/
YES] key to actually select the specified function.
In some cases the PAGE [k] and [l] or [MENU] keys will take you to
another entry screen. If you select “3: Filter” after pressing the [MENU] key in
the VOICE EDIT mode, and then press [ENTER/YES], you’ll see the following
display:
FILTER``````````````````````````````````
`````````````````````````````Hit`[ENTER]
“Hit [ENTER]” will be flashing. In this case press [ENTER/YES] again to
access the filter functions. Once in the filter “sub-mode” you can use the PAGE
[k] and [l] or [MENU] keys to select the various filter functions, as described above. When you have finished with the filter functions, press [EXIT/
NO] to return to the normal VOICE EDIT mode.

■ Selecting & Editing Parameters
The illustrations here are not available.
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.
OSC``Wave``````Mode`Fine`Note`Rndm``Rvs`
P001`Piano`````norm```+0```+0````0``off`
The parameters can also be edited by first moving the cursor to the required
parameter by pressing the corresponding function key ([F7], for example, would
select the “Rndm” parameter in the above display), and then by using either the
data entry dial or the [-1] and [+1] keys to adjust the parameter’s value.
In some special cases you’ll also use the function keys as parameter
“switches,” and the [SHIFT] key is sometimes called into play to access secondary functions. Such exceptions are described in the appropriate sections of
the manual.

GENERAL EDITING PROCEDURE
■ 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.

This display shows the names of the parameters assigned to sliders [CS1]
through [CS4] for the current voice or performance combination, so you can
take a quick peek to refresh your memory even while playing.

After moving the cursor to the layer you want to edit by pressing the [F2],
[F4], [F6] or [F8] function key, use the [INTERNAL 1], [INTERNAL 2], and
[CARD] keys to select the memory area from which the voice is to be selected,
and then use the GROUP and PROGRAM keys to select the voice. Voices
within the selected memory bank can also be selected directy for each layer by
the [CS2], [CS4], [CS6], and [CS8] keys. Internal and card voices cannot be
mixed.
The voices can individually turned on or off by using the [-] (off) and [+]
(on) keys while holding the [SHIFT] key.
The name of the currently selected voice is shown in the upper right corner
of the display. The characters “ABCD” to the right of the voice name indicate
the status of each voice:

Use the [CS2], [CS4], [CS6], and [CS8] sliders to adjust the volume levels
of the A, B, C, and D layer voices, respectively. A setting of “0” produces no
sound, while a setting of “127” produces maximum volume. The vertical bar
graphs next to each parameter provide a visual indication of volume levels —
the longer the bar the higher the volume. Voices that are turned off are indicated by “----” on the display.

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).

Use the [CS2], [CS4], [CS6], and [CS8] sliders to adjust the pan positions
of the A, B, C, and D layer voices, respectively. Minus values represent panning to the left, and positive values represent panning to the right. “0” positions the sound of the selected layer in the center of the stereo sound field.
Voices that are turned off are indicated by “---” on the display. The upper line
of the display also shows a graphic representation of the stereo sound field
with “L” representing “left” and “R” representing “right.” As you change the
pan value the vertical bar will appear at the corresponding position on the
graphic display.

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.

NtShft (Note shift)
Range: -63 … +63
Controls: [CS1], [CS3], [CS5], [CS7], [-1] [+1], Dial
Individually shifts the pitch of each active element up or down in semitone
steps.
Use the [CS1], [CS3], [CS5], and [CS7] sliders to shift the pitch of the A,
B, C, and D layer voices, respectively. A setting of “-12,” for example, shifts
the pitch of the selected layer down by one octave; a setting of “+4” shifts the
pitch up by a major third.
The Note Shift parameter can be used to transpose a voice to its most
useful range, or to create harmony (intervals) between different layers in a
performance combination.
Voices that are turned off are indicated by “---” on the display.

Fine (Fine tuning)
Range: -7 … +7
Controls: [CS2], [CS4], [CS6], [CS8], [-1] [+1], Dial
Allows slight upward or downward pitch adjustment of each active element.
Use the [CS2], [CS4], [CS6], and [CS8] sliders to fine tune the A, B, C,
and D layer voices, respectively.
The maximum minus setting of “-7” produces a downward pitch shift of
approximately 2 cents (a “cent” is 1/100th of a semitone), and the maximum
plus setting of “+7” produces an upward pitch shift of approximately 2 cents. A
setting of “0” produces no pitch change.
The Fine parameter allows different layers in a performance combination to
be slightly detuned in relation to each other, thereby “thickening” the overall
sound.
Voices that are turned off are indicated by “--” on the display.

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.

The name of the currently selected voice/layer is shown in the upper right
corner of the display. The characters “ABCD” to the right of the voice name
indicate the status of each voice: a capital letter if the voice is on, a lower-case
letter if the voice is muted, and a dash if the voice is off.
Lo (Low note limit)
Range: C-2 … G8
Controls: [CS1], [CS3], [CS5], [CS7], [-1] [+1], Dial,
[SHIFT]+keyboard
Individually sets the low note limit for each active layer (the lowest note
that each layer will produce).
Use the [CS1], [CS3], [CS5], and [CS7] sliders to set the low 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.
The C-2 to G8 range of this parameter covers a full 10-1/2 octaves. “C3”
corresponds to “middle C” on a keyboard.
This parameter, in conjunction with the High Note Limit parameter described below, allows the sound from a layer to be limited to a specific region
of the keyboard. If the Low Note Limit is set to C3 and the High Note Limit
for the same layer is set to C4, for example, the sound from that layer will
only be produced between C3 and C4 — the octave immediately above middle
C. This makes it simple to produce split voices.
If the High Note Limit is set to a note that is
Limit for the same layer, the notes between the high and low limits will not
sound.
Voices that are turned off are indicated by “---” on the display.

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.

Lo (Low velocity limit)
Range: 1 … 127
Controls: [CS1], [CS3], [CS5], [CS7], [-1] [+1], Dial,
[SHIFT]+keyboard
Sets the lowest velocity value for a range of velocity values over which
each active layer will produce output.
Use the [CS1], [CS3], [CS5], and [CS7] sliders to set the low 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.
Every note played on the keyboard (or external MIDI controller) produces a
“velocity” value that tells the tone generator how hard the note has been
played. The range of MIDI velocity values is from 1 to 127 — thus the 1 ...
127 range of this parameter.
The Low Velocity Limit parameter, in conjunction with the High Velocity
Limit parameter described below, makes it possible to specify a range of velocity values over which the selected layer will produce sound. You could, for
example, set Low Velocity Limit to “60” and High Velocity Limit to “127.”
This would cause that layer to produce output
between 60 and 127 was received — i.e. when a fairly loud note is played. A
second layer could then be set to produce output only when velocity values
below 60 are received, so that completely different sounds are produced on soft
and loud notes.
Voices that are turned off are indicated by “---” on the display.
