The PRESET,

Voice Memories
If you don't get any sound at this point: Make sure your sound
system is turned ON and the volume is turned up to a reasonable
level, make sure that the SY35 VOLUME control is turned up to a
reasonable level, and check all connections carefully.
Try Out the Pitch Bend & Modulation Wheels
While you're experimenting with the PRESET and INTERNAL voices, try
out the PITCH BEND and MODULATION wheels to the left of the key-
board.
PITCH BEND WHEEL: Rolling the PITCH BEND wheel upward (away from
you) will raise the pitch of notes played on the keyboard, while rolling the wheel
in the opposite direction will lower the pitch. The PITCH BEND wheel is self-
centering and will always return to center position (normal pitch) when released.
The maximum range of the PITCH BEND wheel can be set using
the PITCH BEND function described on page 6 of the Feature
reference manual.
MODULATION WHEEL: Rolling the MODULATION wheel upward (away
from you) will increase the depth of the type of modulation set for the currently
selected voice. The MODULATION wheel stays wherever it is set, so you can
set it and leave it at any position that produces the desired modulation effect.
The MODULATION wheel can control both pitch and amplitude
modulation, and the the type of modulation applied to each voice
is determined by the settings of the voice's LFO AM and LFO
PM parameters described on page 22 of the Feature Reference
manual.
Now that you're familiar with the PRESET voices and how they're selected and
played, let's look at the overall SY35 voice memory configuration.
Voices played by the SY35 can come from three different sources: the
PRESET voice memory, the INTERNAL voice memory, or a CARD voice
memory. Any voice in any of these voice memories can be selected and played
while the SY35 is in the VOICE PLAY mode. Simply press the [PRESET],
[INTERNAL] or [CARD] MEMORY key, and then select the desired voice
BANK and NUMBER as described in the preceding section.
When you press the MEMORY [PRESET] key you select the
PRESET voice memory. The PRESET voice memory contains 64
pre-programmed voices in ROM (Read Only Memory) that can-
not be overwritten or changed in any way. The PRESET voice
memory is represented on the display by the letter "P".
For example, PRESET bank 2,
voice number 5 looks like this...
