2: RECORD CONDITION [UTILITY] → [SEQ SETUP] → [MENU] → 2:Rec Condition → [ENTER/YES] Since you might want to use the SY85 sequencer to record material from an external MIDI device rather than the instrument's own keyboard, the Receive Channel parameter on this page is provided so you can specify reception on any MIDI channel. The Aftertouch parameter is used to turn recording of aftertouch data on or off.

This function must be set to "kbd" if you will be recording from the SY85 keyboard. If you will be recording from an external MIDI controller such as a master keyboard or wind controller, however, select the appropriate MIDI channel or the "omni" mode for reception on all MIDI channels. AT (Aftertouch) Range: off, on Controls: [CS8], [-1] [+1], Dial Turns recording of after touch data on or off. After touch data tends to be quite voluminous, and can use up the sequencer memory capacity quickly, For this reason, the default setting for after touch data recording is "off." turn this parameter "on" only if you specifically want to use an after touch effect.
