The Getting Started Manual (this manual)

In addition to an overview of the SY85 controls and connectors (page 10),
the Getting Started manual contains six chapters that take you through the
main procedures you will need to know to become familiar with your SY85:
1.
Setting Up Your System [Page 17]
Basic system connections, powering up, loading and playing the demo,
and loading the pre-programmed voice and performance data.
2.
Selecting And Playing Voices [Page 21]
Selecting and playing voices from the INTERNAL 1, INTERNAL 2 and
CARD memories, and using the real-time controls.
3.
The Performance Mode [Page 30]
Selecting and playing performance combinations from the INTERNAL 1,
INTERNAL 2 and CARD memories, and programming original perform-
ance combinations.
4.
Voice Editing & Effects [Page 40]
Fast, easy voice editing and effect setup using the VOICE QUICK EDIT
mode.
5.
The Sequencer [Page 47]
Recording and playing sequences and patterns.
6.
Data Management [Page 64]
Some ideas on how to efficiently manage your SY85 data.
We recommend that you go through the tutorials in sequence while actually
carrying out procedures on your SY85. Once you've gone through the entire
TUTORIALS section in this way, you should be familiar enough with the SY85
to need only the Feature Reference manual in future.
