Device Type Preferences

The Device Type Preferences tab allows you to set one or two device types to match your synthesizers that sy.factory will control.

This tab will adjust the visible controls depending on whether or not you have a secondary device enabled, and will also add controls if the primary or secondary device is set to be an SY99.

An example of the Device Type Preferences tab where you do not have a secondary device enabled is shown below:

An example of the the Device Type Preferences tab where you have the Primary Device set as an SY99 and the secondary device enabled is shown below:

This tab has the following options:

[Primary] Device Type

Allows you to select the type of Device that you have from the following options:

  • SY77
  • SY99
  • TG77

This parameter is used by sy.factory to determine what MIDI messages to send to the connected device. When a TG77 is selected then no sequence data is sent or requested from the device.

[Primary] Device Type Memory Cards Fitted

This control is only visible if the selected device type is an SY99. It allows you to tell sy.factory how many memory cards are fitted within your SY99.

This parameter is only used by sy.factory to determine if the samples in a loaded TNN file will fit within the SY99's memory. If the Samples are too large, then the RM parameter shown in the status bar is highlighted in red.

Enable Secondary Device

If you wish to have sy.factory to integrate with two SY series devices, then check this control, and the secondary device contols will be shown.

Secondary Device Type

This control is only visible if the Enable Secondary Device option is checked.

Allows you to select the type of Device that you have from the following options:

  • SY77
  • SY99
  • TG77

This parameter is used by sy.factory to determine what MIDI messages to send to the connected device. When a TG77 is selected then no sequence data is sent or requested from the device.

Secondary Device Type Memory Cards Fitted

This control is only visible if the Enable Secondary Device option is checked and if the selected device type is an SY99. It allows you to tell sy.factory how many memory cards are fitted within your SY99.

This parameter is only used by sy.factory to determine if the samples in a loaded TNN file will fit within the SY99's memory. If the Samples are too large, then the RM parameter shown in the status bar is highlighted in red.
