Welcome to Sector101 - Home of the SYEMB06 ReBirth Project!
The SYEMB06 ReBirth Project came about through a discussion on the YamahaForums website about designing an SYEMB06 Non-Volatile Memory Clone to replace the long discontinued and now 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 synthesizers that can use this sample RAM memory upgrade are:
Yamaha SY85
Yamaha TG500
Yamaha RM50
These modules are designed, assembled and shipped from the United Kingdom.
The retail price of the the Sector101 SYEMB06 module is £29
19th November 2009 - Limited supply of SYEMB06 modules still in stock.
Please see the Purchase page for details on how to buy SYEMB06 memory expansion modules.
Synthesizer Expansion Info
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.
Samples can be loaded from the floppy drive, by Midi Sample Dump, or from Waveform Cards.
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 intact 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.
Samples can be loaded from Waveform Cards, or sent to the unit using Midi Sample Dump.
As with the SY85 the sample and waveform parameters will be stored intact 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.
Samples can be loaded from Waveform Cards, or sent to the unit using Midi Sample Dump.
As with the SY85 the sample and waveform parameters will be stored intact so there is nothing you need to setup again after powering up!
