UTILITY MODE
Activation: The names of active control setups will
be displayed in inverse characters, and the
program select LEDs 1-16 will light red to
indicate the MIDI channels on which they are
transmitting.
A control setup consists of four zones, each
of which has its own transmit channel, velocity
and aftertouch curves, transposition, and note
and velocity limits. A variety of initial messages
(bank select, program change. Main volume, and
a set of MDR data) can also. be specified for
transmission by each of the four zones whenever
that control setup is activated.
The master control functions of the SY99 will
remain active only while the controller select or
controller edit display is showing.
It is also possible to activate a control setup
by inputting the number of that setup using the
numerical keypad. Inputting a "0" from the
numerical keypad will deactivate the control
setup.
For details of the settings for each control
setup, refer to the explanation of the Controller
edit function, below.
Mute mode: While Mute mode is on, you can press
the program select buttons 1-16 to temporarily
mute one or more channels being used by the
active control setup. The LEDs corresponding to
muted channels will blink. Press the program
select button once again to un-mute a muted
channel.
Solo mode: While Solo mode is on, the LEDs for all
channels will blink. You can press a program
select button 1-16 to solo a desired channel. The
LED for that button will light steadily, and only
the corresponding channel will transmit data.

control feature and the SY99's sequencer at the
same time in Song or Pattern play mode.
However, it is not possible to use the master
control functions while recording using the
SY99's sequencer.

setups are activated, the control setups will be
de-activated temporarily while the sequencer is
recording. When you press STOP to stop record-
ing, the control setups will re-activate auto-
matically.
