Here you can specify which MIDI channel (1 ... 16) each of the sequencer's 8 main tracks will transmit on. Functions keys [F1] through [F8] correspond to tracks 1 through 8. Press a function key to move the underline cursor to the MIDI channel parameter for that track, then use the corresponding control slider (e.g. [CS3] for track 3) to set the MIDI transmit channel for that track. The MIDI transmit channel for the rhythm track (track 9) can be set by holding the [SHIFT] key and using the [CS8] control slider (note that "RH9" appears above [CS8] while the [SHIFT] key is held) . The rhythm track is normally set to transmit on channel 16. DETAIL This function is obviously important if you will be using the SY85 sequencer to drive an external tone generator that has specific channel requirements. 2. Program the MULTI Setup For the Selected Song Each SY85 "song" has an independent "multi setup" that can have up to 16 voices assigned to "instruments" 1 through 16. Each instrument is controlled via the correspondingly numbered MIDI channel. Press the SUB MODE [MULTI EDIT] key, and then use the PAGE [k] and [l] keys to locate the "MULTI Voice Select" screen shown below. This screen lets you select the voices that are to be played via the various multisetup channels.

5. The Sequencer
Here you can specify which MIDI channel (1 … 16) each of the
sequencer’s 8 main tracks will transmit on. Functions keys [F1] through [F8]
correspond to tracks 1 through 8. Press a function key to move the underline
cursor to the MIDI channel parameter for that track, then use the corresponding
control slider (e.g. [CS3] for track 3) to set the MIDI transmit channel for that
track. The MIDI transmit channel for the rhythm track (track 9) can be set by
holding the [SHIFT] key and using the [CS8] control slider (note that “RH9”
appears above [CS8] while the [SHIFT] key is held) . The rhythm track is
normally set to transmit on channel 16.
This function is obviously important if you will be using the
SY85 sequencer to drive an external tone generator that has
specific channel requirements.

Program the MULTI Setup For the Selected Song
Each SY85 “song” has an independent “multi setup” that can have up to 16
voices assigned to “instruments” 1 through 16. Each instrument is controlled
via the correspondingly numbered MIDI channel.
Press the SUB MODE [MULTI EDIT] key, and then use the PAGE [
]
and [
] keys to locate the “MULTI Voice Select” screen shown below. This
screen lets you select the voices that are to be played via the various multi-
setup channels.
Only eight voice numbers are shown on the display at one time. Use the
PAGE [
] and [
] keys while holding the [SHIFT] key to switch between
multi instruments “1 … 8” and “9 … 16”. The currenty selected group of
voices is indicated on the upper display line.
After moving the cursor to the instrument you want to edit by pressing the
appropriate function key, use the same function key to toggle between PER-
FORMANCE or VOICE memory (“P” or “V” at the beginning of the voice
number). Then use the [INTERNAL 1], [INTERNAL 2], and [CARD] keys to
select the memory area from which the voice is to be selected, and finally the
GROUP and PROGRAM keys to select the voice. Voices within the selected
memory bank can also be selected directy for each channel by the appropriate
CS sliders. Internal and card voices cannot be mixed.
The voices can individually turned on or off by using the [-] (off) and [+]
(on) keys while holding the [SHIFT] key.
The name of the currently selected voice is shown in the upper right corner
of the display.
To make locating voices for multi assignment faster and easier,
a “voice search” function can be accessed from the “MULTI
Voice Select” screen by pressing the SUB MODE [COPY] key.
