Yamaha SY.22, Authorized Product Manual

Page: 6 / 101

HOW TO USE THIS OPERATING MANUAL
This operation manual is broadly divided into two main sections — TUTORIALS and REFERENCE.
What's In the
TUTORIALS Section
The TUTORIALS section contains four separate tutorials that take you step-by -
step through the main procedures you will need to know to become familiar with
your SY22:
1. SETTING UP YOUR SYSTEM [Page 9]
Basic system connections.
2. SELECTING AND PLAYING VOICES [Page 11]
Selecting and playing voices from the PRESET, INTERNAL and CARD
voice banks.
3. VECTORS [Page 14]
Understanding and using manual and dynamic vectors.
4. INSTANT VOICE PROGRAMMING [Page 25]
The fast way to create an unlimited range of new voices for the SY22.
We recommend that you go through the tutorials in sequence while actually
carrying out procedures on your SY22. Once you've gone through the entire
TUTORIALS section in this way, you should be familiar enough with the SY22
to need only the REFERENCE section in future.
What's In the
REFERENCE Section
The REFERENCE section is the "nuts and bolts" section of the manual,
individually describing each of the SY22's many functions in detail. The
REFERENCE section is divided into eight sub-sections, each describing the
various functions within a particular SY22 edit or utility mode.
1. VOICE COMMON [Page 29]
2. VOICE VECTOR [Page 35]
3. ELEMENT TONE [Page 41]
4. ELEMENT ENVELOPE [Page 51]
5. MULTI [Page 59]
6. UTILITY SETUP [Page 67]
7. UTILITY RECALL [Page 75]
8. UTILITY MIDI [Page 79]
Once you have become familiar with the way the SY22 works by going
through the TUTORIALS section, you should only need to refer to the
REFERENCE section from time to time to get details on functions you've never
used before, or refresh your memory about functions that you don't use very
often.
Each sub-section of the REFERENCE section has its own table of contents,
so you should be able to locate any particular function quickly and easily. Func-
tions and references can also be located by referring to the INDEX at the back of
the manual.
