It has the widest range of potential sound-producing capability I have ever witnessed in an 'affordable' instrument - from fully synthetic to breathtakingly real, all in very high quality stereo (or even quad, for those who remember it!). The SY77 is a multitimbral, Advanced FM plus AWM workstation, modestly described on the front panel as a 'music synthesizer'. Next month will see a detailed examination of the synthesis power provided by the SY77's new synthesis method: RCM. In this, the first of two articles taking an in-depth look at the SY77, I will describe the major features of this new Yamaha flagship synth. With the arrival (at last!) of what must surely be the replacement for the DX7, the SY77 provides a new synthesis method which builds on FM, but which also presents an interesting mix of simplicity and complexity.
