UTILITY MODE
In Utility mode you can make settings that affect the
SY99's overall system, make settings for MIDI
transmission and reception, transfer data to and
from a card, transfer data to and from a disk, load
and store sample data, store MIDI bulk data re-
ceived from another device, and use the SY99 as a
MIDI master controller. The functions of the utility
mode are divided into seven job directories. When
you press UTILITY the last-selected of these direc-
tories will appear. Select a job directory by pressing
F1-F7.
