Yamaha TG500/SY85: operating through the keyhole

video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"The Yamaha TG500 is the rack version of the SY85. Released in 1992, it came with a 64 voice polyphony that was previously unheard of at that time, and it was one of the first synths to feature a resonant digital filter. This video contains some sound examples and a quick walk through the sound editor. Table of contents:
