Vintage Synth Rescue Kit:
Yamaha TG33, TG55, TG77, TG100, TG500 + SY22, SY35, SY55, SY77, SY85, SY99
Download for Macintosh & PC Includes 2000+ Patches, Librarians, Manual, Program List, more
The Yamaha SY77 and TG77 are monster synths that include 2 different synthesis types -- AWM, which is a method of playing back samples from ROM, and 6-operator FM, which is what makes the DX7 tick. What makes these 2 synths so powerful and complex to program is that ROMpler voices can be processed through the FM part, or layered with FM sounds to make them more "deep". Followed by the SY85 and SY99, they produce wicked sounds that are still powerful today.
Other synths in the family are based on more "lightweight" AWM2 synthesis such as the SY22, SY35, SY55, TG33, TG55, TG100 and TG500.
Additionally, I have included sysex patch transfer software for Macintosh OS9, OSX, and PC as well as some data in sysex format.
I have created PDF documentation on how to use the tools in this downloadable collection to reload your sounds. Additionally, I provide technical support via email, FaceTime, and Zoom. Please do not send technical questions about how to use these products through the eBay messaging system, because Ebay limits the length of messages and how many messages we can send.
After payment clears Paypal, you will be sent a downloadable link which is compatible with both Macintosh & Windows PCs. This would make a wonderful addition to anyone who owns a Yamaha TG77 or SY77, both of which are based on the same type of hybrid digital/analog programming and are able to load the same patches. Get more value from your Yamaha synthesizer by using the files in this collection.
This collection has been double-checked, and does *NOT* contain copyrighted patches from other commercial developers.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions - taken from real emails I have received)
Q) Do I get a free synthesizer along with this collection?
A) NO! This collection contains program data for Yamaha SY & TG model synthesizers. But since most people buy a new synth to get new sounds, you can pump more life into your vintage gear by purchasing the collection of sound data that is available on this CD-ROM. Installing these sounds is like buying a brand new synth -- you will be impressed.
Q) How do I get these sounds into my (other make) synthesizer?
A) It cannot be done! These sounds are not samples or WAV files, but instead the settings files provide programming information that must be loaded into specific synthesizer models. This program data will only work for the models specified above. Think of a synth as a computer -- it will only run the programs that are made for it.
Q) How did you get to be so good with synthesizers?
A) I've been using synthesizers and MIDI since the late 1980's. I've worked in a number of studios and have consulted to a couple of big names in the industry. Plus, I've got a vast array of software tools that helped in the development of this collection. Save yourself the time and money, and just buy my disc already. It's less than $10!
Q) Do you have demos that we can hear?
A) Sorry not at this point in time.
Q) How do I get this to work on my computer?
A) You will need a MIDI interface, and the software required for Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 10, MacOS 9 and Mac OSX is included in this collection. I've created PDF instructions for some of the programs, and support is available through email or Skype.
Q) Your disc Rocks! I spent hundreds of dollars on commercial patches that aren't as good.
A) Thanks. I didn't get a high thumbs-up rating on Ebay by just waiting for success to happen.
