Yamaha SY85

“A great 90’s synth / workstation starting to appreciate in value . A great sounding keyboard that is quite complicated to learn (fully ). But when learnt is a wonderful studio tool , it has a sequencer and host of effects and sound control sliders and knobs . It comes with a C P multi media USB emulater (Brand New) in a box, not yet fitted (£75 cost) . There is a Scandisk usb thumb drive included with over 1500 sounds on it . A floppy disk drive is still working with a set up disk for resetting if required. A brochure listing everything that the keyboard can do along with lists of sounds etc along with a Gator keyboard case is included. Unfortunately the backup battery has just started to play up ( this is a cr battery like those fitted to car central locking key fobs) . I’ve just upgraded my workstation so I’m letting this go as working but needs the new battery fixed , but the usb emulater is situated in the same area , so could be fitted at the same time. This would update the synth to sysex sounds via usb (computer). I’ve allowed £100 to fit both if fitted by a electronic technician. Not included is the keyboard stand. Not parts but working with about 15 sounds missing and a display that is slightly dimmed due to the battery. Tech looked at and quoted for for work required. A wonderful keyboard with great keybed just needs a little TLC .”
