UTILITY MODE
In Utility mode you can make settings that affect the
SY77's overall system, make settings for MIDI
transmission and reception, transmit bulk data via
MIDI, and save or load data on card or disk. The
functions of utility mode are divided into four job
directories; System Utility, MIDI Utility, Card
Utility, and Disk Utility. When you press UTILITY
the last-selected of these directories will appear.
