Hi my Sy 85 makes a distorted sound . Do you have an idea of what might have gone wrong. THanks :)

@jithendraVS Have you tried restoring the keyboard settings useing a backup disk ?

[ElBerto]

There's a demo of Michael Jackson's "Give in to me" for the SY85 which I have, as I remember it sounded amazing! I think it was an official demo for the synth. I'll upload if anyone wants. I'm going to dust off my dear old SY85 now!

@miggylangelo54 , yes it has a 9 track sequencer, you should be able to find the instruction manual on the internet.

Still have in the basement as a midi keyboard. I lost all the disks (they were all 3.5 Floppy, double-density) and the RAM card. :-(

Im thinking of buying a broken one of these to refurbish. From what the seller says i think it's all down to bad contacts on the keys. Seems like it will be worth the effort!

@fender1000100 I don't blame you because it has that awesome early 90s vibe to it and I wouldn't be surprised if this was the same tool used to compose the score for shows like Saved By the Bell and Beverly Hills 90210

Tell you something this is Yamaha best synth EVER. I will use this over any Motif anyday.

[jithendraVS]

@gridsleep Thanks Will do that.

@jithendraVS Oooooh, yeah, that's sad. :'^( Maybe Yamaha still has some replacement chips. Miracles do happen. You could post on all the synthesizer forums that you are looking to buy the filter board from any broken or otherwise useless SY85. Just getting the board would mean little shipping. You don't need a whole new SY85, just a filter IC. I bet you could get one for $50 or less.

[jithendraVS]

@gridsleep Hi thanks a lot for the reply. I had just given it to the service person, he says filter IC is spoiled and that he can't get a replacement :(

[gridsleep]

@jithendraVS If you care to open the case, check to see if any of the capacitors are swollen or (heaven forbid) leaking. It could be a diode going bad. Do the sounds distort when no filters are applied? If the raw sound is OK that might help narrow the problem down to one of the filter circuits. It could be amplifier. You might also start by checking the power supply. Also check to see if your mains voltage is steady. I suggest having it checked at an electronic repair shop.

I'm gonna add this to favorites, just because the frigen demo song is frigen awesome, Yamaha always made the most musical instruments.
