Yamaha TG33
Multimode Patch Editor
This patch editor will work with the Yamaha TG33, but not the SY22 nor SY35.
Communicating with Edisyn
Set your synthesizer to receive and transmit on the same MIDI channel (perhaps Channel 1). Turn on Program Change and System Exclusive data. Turn off memory protect. The TG-33 also has a "device number": ideally this should be set to the same as the MIDI channel. You set both the device number and MIDI channel in Edisyn when connecting to the synthesizer via the Change MIDI menu.
About the "Show" Button
If you press the Show button, Edisyn will request the appropriate single-mode patch. However, the patch will not properly load unless you are first (manually) in Voice mode. You must select Voice mode before you press the Show button.
Gotchas
- Edisyn cannot write patches to patch memory locations: you can only send them to the current working memory. From there, you will have to manually save them to an appropriate memory location if you like.
- The TG33 is very slow in responding to real-time parameter changes.
- The TG33 may occasionally get caught in a strange "Cannot Edit" warning message on-screen when receiving real-time parameter changes. You can get it out of this by selecting the multi and edit buttons again, or some similar combination.
