Welcome to Sector101 - Home of the SYEMB06 ReBirth Project!
The SYEMB06 ReBirth Project came about through a discussion on the YamahaForums website about making an SYEMB06 Non-Volatile Memory Clone to replace the long discontinued and very rare Yamaha SYEMB06 512KB memory module.
After much information gathering and several prototypes a batch of SYEMB06 clone modules have now been manufactured.
The Yamaha synths that can use this sample memory upgrade module are the SY85, TG500 and RM50.
These modules are designed, assembled and shipped from the United Kingdom.
A final bulk purchase of components has allowed us to drop the SYEMB06 module price to £29
This is the final batch of SYEMB06 clone modules to be made.
27th June 2009 - SYEMB06 modules are in stock.
Please see the Purchase page for details on how to buy SYEMB06 memory expansion modules.
This module is compatible with these Yamaha Synthesizers:
Yamaha SY85
You can install up to two of these modules to give you 1MB of non-volatile sample memory on top of whatever volatile memory you currently have installed. After you load your samples into the SY85's non-volatile memory area they will remain stored intact after the SY85 has been switched off. When you switch the SY85 back on again your samples are ready to go! All the sample and waveform parameters will also be stored so there is nothing you need to setup again after powering the SY85 up!
Yamaha TG500
Unlike the SY85 the TG500 ships with no onboard sample memory at all. You can install up to two of these modules to give you 1MB of non-volatile sample memory to play with. The TG500 can now receive and store your samples through Midi Sample Dump. As with the SY85 all the sample and waveform parameters will be stored so there is nothing you need to setup again after powering up!
Yamaha RM50
As with the TG500 the RM50 ships with no onboard sample memory. You can install one of these modules to give you 512KB of non-volatile memory to play with. Of course your samples will remain onboard when the unit is switched off and are ready to go when powered up again! Sending of samples to the unit is through Midi Sample Dump.
