I had an sy85 with 8mb of ram years ago. Still regret selling it 20 years later, it was such a good keyboard. Had a programme for the Amiga500 that converted 8bit samples to sy85 format, that was pretty cool as well.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to write a comment! There is also a program in windows xp Logic sound-diver v3, but it needs an adaptation for sy85. About this branch here: yamahamusicians.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1375 Maybe who has this adaptation for SY85? If I manage to get an adaptation, I would shoot a video on working with Yamaha sy85.
By the time I really learned how to use my still mint, factory-fresh, always-been-covered SY77, many if not most, of the software-based synths were free to download, and I currently use them as VSTs in "Reaper". "Dexed" is fun to use and compare, "SYNTH1", etc... It's a beautiful machine, new diskette device, although the display backlight is out - not really an issue. I play with it now and then. The keyboard is great and has after-touch, but it still sits on its stand in my living room waiting.... Nice video! Interesting to see and reminisce. :)
Just an FYI - Your gloves are defeating your ESD purposes of wrist strap and ground - your hands are isolative unless the gloves are conductive ESD gloves. You would be fine with just your bare hands. I am an electronics engineering person by profession.
Hi mate, great tutorial, I have just purchased an SY85 and plan to follow your lead and upgrade it all, probably a new battery as well, I have been looking for the memory but not sure I have seen the correct type, any chance of a link?? Also I notice that the cover that goes over the Gotek looks like it has been cut away? Did you do that in order for the Gotek to fit?? Thanks in advance ~ :)🙂
Thank you for your question. About memory - search on eBay 2x4 mb simm 30 pin. Here is a lot of options! The cover was cut for a previous non-native floppy drive. Most likely, if you put the gotek right away, you won’t need to cut anything!. Other links are in the description below the video.
Preciso que me oriente para reprogramar o meu. Pois coloquei um novo módulo display e então desprogramou. Está com um único som. Qual é o programa que posso baixar para reprogramação de fabrica? Desde já te agradeço.
Я где-то читал, что SY85 может потянуть 16 Мб памяти, несмотря на то, что в официальном мануале заявлено до 8 Мб... так что, наверное, есть смысл попробовать ещё больше для максимального апгрейда )) Хотя там семплер настолько примитивный, что непонятно стоит ли
Hello! They are different synths. The SY85 has simple acoustic sounds, while the SY77 is an FM synthesizer. In Sy85, I expanded the memory so that sounds that require a lot of memory can be loaded. If special sounds are not needed, then the memory can be left as is!
@@retrovintage4108Vou comprar . Você pode me passar a referência do emulador? O seu, você comprou pronto ou você mesmo preparou? Por que às confecções são de 34 pinos dos emuladores, e o cabo do teclado é de 24 vias. Obrigado por sua atenção!
Hello! I bought an emulator. The link to the seller is in the description under the video - Step 3. The kit with Gotek also includes an adapter from 34 to 24 and a very good flash drive with all Yamaha SY85 sounds, including a reset to factory settings. In this video, I show how you can do everything yourself. But if you buy Gotek from a seller, then everything will already be on the flash drive!

Boa noite! Às teclas dele são boas, são bem firmes? São às memórias dele que ficam aí embaixo, é isso?
Any USB-stick drive can be used.
For this video, I used the oldest USB stick.
it's a shame they never fitted it with SCSI
Hey, I have a few questions about Yamaha SY85, how can I contact with you ?
