This free software was used to save Off The Matrix patch data. The software is easy to use for sending Sys Ex patches to any midi compatible synth. It’s also a great little MIDI monitor, and can easily test small Sys Ex requests, since the reply as well as all other events from the MIDI device are displayed.
SY Edit is a vintage voice editor for the Yamaha SY22, SY35 and TG33. The program is freeware that was frist written by Rich Hanson for the Atari ST in 1995. This 2.1 version was totally re-written for 32 bit windows in July 2000. The program gives access to the FM parameters that can not be edited by the hardware of the SY synths.
This program was used to create the Off The Matrix patches for the vector SY synths on a legacy computer running Windows Me. The program should work on newer systems with Compatibility Mode.
The quality of the original samples for the vintage samplers never realized the potential of the instruments. Here's a demo that compares some of the new Off The Matrix samples to
the EMU factory samples.
Akai S5000 S6000 OS
This is OS version 2.14 to restore the sampler if the system crashes. Our Akai S6000 crashed and it wasn't fun!
