Dynamic Vector
In addition to the manual vector control capability described so far, the SY35
features advanced automatic vector recording and playback capability. Automatic
vectors are called "dynamic vectors" in the SY35, and these play automatically
whenever you play a note on the keyboard. Dynamic vectors can be recorded in
real time via the VECTOR CONTROL by using the procedure described in the
"Recording an Original Dynamic Vector" section, below. While manual vector
control is possible whenever the VECTOR PLAY mode is ON — i.e. when
either the VECTOR PLAY [LEVEL] or [DETUNE] indicator is lit, dynamic
vectors operate only when the VECTOR PLAY mode is OFF — i.e. when both
the VECTOR PLAY [LEVEL] and [DETUNE] indicators are out.
Before we dive in and record an original dynamic vector, spend a few minutes
familiarizing yourself with the SE* Elect voice and its preset dynamic vector.
Select the SE* Elect Voice
The SE*Elect voice (166) features a distinct dynamic vector that will serve
as an ideal foundation for a few initial experiments.
Turn Vector Play OFF and Play the Voice
Make sure the manual VECTOR PLAY mode is turned OFF, using the
VECTOR PLAY [ON/OFF] key to turn it off if necessary (neither the
[LEVEL] or [DETUNE] indicators should be lit).
VECTOR PLAY
Play a nice long note or chord. Notice how the various elements are grad-
ually brought in and blended automatically — this is the result of a dynamic
vector.
