I remember when this keyboard came out brand new. There was a music shop inside a mall me and my family would frequent many times. Toms music was the name of the shop. They had it listed for $3999. That was my favorite store inside the mall. I was about 16 years old at the time.
Finally I got one back in 2017. I was very excited about it. It has a great sound, I'm also a experienced FM programmer so the results came out so fast that I was proud of my monster old synth literally eating all other synths on stage. Im a gig musician in México City so that excitement was not so long. The thing is TOO HEAVY..... so I sold it. I was sad about that, but im old and my back was being destroyed hehe.
@@connorflynn1885 yes, Yamaha should have never used the SY nomenclature for that synth. Never made sense to me. I can imagine how many people bought it thinking it was a cheaper workstation than the 77 and 99.
I found one of these on the cheap that was in need of repair. A friend and I got it completely restored and upgraded with a fancy LCD and USB flash drive. It's crazy how unique and interesting this machine sounds. I often dream of building a custom hardware controller for it, something like the DTronics DT7 for the DX7. I know it's possible!
E' sempre un piacere gustarsi le tue dimostrazioni, utilissime per una panoramica completa su strumenti che non si ha l'opportunità di provare di persona e magari per prendere spunto per un eventuale acquisto. Grazie ancora e complimenti👍🎹🎶🎵🎶
The pad @5.30 is great, (also the modulation wheel controlled filter). do you know if it is obtained from a pure afm sound or afm+awm? I also have that synth....
01/W may have been a ROMpler only, but it had some kick ass FM samples. DigiPiano1 comes to mind, as well as DWGS EP (which was a sample from the DW8000, which in turn was probably a sample from a DX7). And they stacked that with DigiPiano 2 to make that famous DynoPiano combo. And of course, Digi Years. I have both synths. SY99 is truly a puncher for FM EP sounds...................................BUT it requires programming, or buying someone's patches. NightHawk and Classic EP being the most famous stock EP's on that machine. I'd say 01/W acoustic piano sounded a bit less compressed, more "classical". The 01/Wpro added a 2nd multisample that sounded closer to the SY99's acoustic piano. And 01/W FX were extremely powerful, blew SY99 out of the water completely. I'm shocked they put such a power FX chip in such an old board
@@apreviousseagle836 You're right! The 01/W FD was my first keyboard (i can't find a local tech to fix mine) & now also own a TG-77. I keep saying I'll post demos of my custom patches from highschool to show what can be done with imagination. Ues, The FX in the 01 set a high standard in my expectation. When i was a kid (16 or so), i had access to a B-3 Hammond & Leslie 22H. I was able to model them almost perfectly (including foldback) using Combi.'s & simulating the Leslie crossover by running the sounds in parallel through two of the 01's rotary speakers sims (one to mimic the horn/high freq & the other the rotor/low freq). I was also able to emulate Rhodes, Wurlitzer, Piano (with key off fx. Inspired by a friend's), & created guitar sounds with fret noise & note off (inspired by a DX-7ii i borrowed) & velocity triggered guitar bends years before Roland introduced this articulation with samples. Not to mention the special FX i was able to create. I got so much mileage out of this thing as a kid, without any knowledge of programming. That's why I'm so disappointed in myself these days for being spoiled & owning a billion VSTs yet always having creative block. SMH. Lol. I can't sing enough praises for the mighty capabilities of the 01/W. FYI, if you want the best collection of TG/SY 77/99 EPs, try VGSG's site. They were sold for a $1 donation & you get tens of sysex sounds.

The audio in your videos is always of such high quality, it makes the keys presented sound even better than what they really are.

Same in france and you leave with a nx5r korg or a mc303!
I saw this in KEYBOARD magazine in year 1994, first time hearing its voices. So amazing sound :D

If you liked the sound, get a TG77 ;)
Sounds great. I can remember what an unobtainable dream synth this was to me back in the day.
You weren't alone mate
Em 6:17 esse teclado foi fantástico!
@techstuf4637350$ is pretty cheap..!
Thanks for posting this It's great to hear vintage synths in action...
There was a music store in Croydon I remember entering and saw an SY22. I played on it and the sound was stratospheric - In1989.
The SY22 uses vector synthesis, which is amazingly fun for, yes, celestial, ambient, hazy spiritual sound scapes with ease.

The EP Rhrodes emulation I like it more than the original. Maybe a sinn to say but for real :)
And a lot less weight to carry.
oooh, I just should find the time to open my SY77 to joy with =)
Thanks for the excellent demos, really pleasing to listen.
I love this synth... ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I’ve done the same on one sy99, and maybe on a sy99 in the future ;)

@@DKS-SYNTH-LAB you made a controller for the SY99??
@@chrisdigiuseppe7717 no, i've only done a total revision of an sy77
I love this :-) one in my studio... compliment
Amazing AFM Synth!!! Thank you for sharing !!
Звуки пианино звучат красиво и качественно. Yamaha хорошо работали над звуками. Хороший синтезатор. Чтобы такой был у меня дома.
I had a.sy77 I loved it gave it up for a fantom 7
Il classico dei classici!
Just bought one on EBay. Can't wait. Times are good, if for a price of an iPhone you can get an SY99!!!!
I love the SY99 ;)
Congratulations! May I ask what you paid for it?
@@devingademan not mine! ;)
DKS SYNTH LAB Hello Synth lab, great video! Yes I know, I was trying to comment on Andrew Piatek. Hopefully he can read my message.

Grazie a te! 🙏🏻✌🏻
This made me take my SY77 out of storage.
.... sua maestà.... ancora oggi fa la sua figura 😀
Assolutamente ancora un grand synth ;)

Masato Nakamura used this keyboard along with SY99 to make his Sonic Demos.
The SY series had the best digital while the Korg 01 had the best acoustic pianos from this time
01/W may have been a ROMpler only, but it had some kick ass FM samples. DigiPiano1 comes to mind, as well as DWGS EP (which was a sample from the DW8000, which in turn was probably a sample from a DX7).

Como hago para encontrar los sonidos?
From 1980s to 1997 Sounds in Electric Piano Galaxy, EP Dynamic and variants.
1980s to 1997 EP Sounds 🎹
Thanks Ok
Me podrían ayudar por favor como encontrar los sonidos
Ciao, il Sy77 e il Sy99 hanno lo stesso filtro? Il timbro è lo stesso?.. Mentre in confronto con L'An1x quale suona più caldo secondo te? Grazie
Are you selling? I might be buying... for real!
1:30 what's that song you're playing? Or just improvising?
Always improvising in my videos ;)
@@DKS-SYNTH-LAB love this part a lot 😍
Do you have one for sale?
Probably soon you can buy mine on reverb troughout leadsound profile ;)
Weighted keys or lightweight?
Synth action ;) not weighted (great action, the same used for many other synths: dx7, m1, 01/w, triton,
Oasys 76, yamaha ex5 and others 😉)
Where can I get one
@@zeldafan9016 only on second hand market
Are these all AFM, all AWM, or both?
Both ;) factory presets
Bad
