The displays should look something like this:
To select a different number within the same bank it is only necessary to
press the appropriate NUMBER key. In the same way, to select the same
number in a different bank all you have to do is press the appropriate BANK
key.
The [-1/NO] and [+1/YES] keys can also be used to select a voice in the
VOICE PLAY mode. Holding the [-1/NO] or [+1/YES] key causes con-
tinuous scrolling in the specified direction.
4. Play the keyboard.
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 SY22 VOLUME control is turned up to a reasonable
level.
Check all connections carefully.
Overlapping Voice
Selection The SY22 has been designed to allow overlapping voice selection. That is, if you
select a new voice while holding notes on the keyboard (or by using a sustain
footswitch), the held notes will continue playing the previous voice while
subsequently played notes will use the new voice. Although the primary reason
for this feature is to allow smooth switching between voices without unnatural
sound cutoff or gaps, it is actually possible to play several voices at once by
holding a note or two, selecting a new voice, holding a couple more notes,
selecting a second new voice, and so on. Please note, however, that if different
voices selected using this method have different effects, a corresponding change
in effect will be heard.
