I got one very cheap 2 Years ago... It was worth it every penny... fat Basses, Beatiful Choirs and Pads and Outstanding Synth Sounds!!!
I love this Machine...

I learned MIDI, sequencing and synthesis on an SY77 in college, and I'm glad I did. It's brought me back, these years later to pick up one of these guys on Ebay. It is, simply put, an immensely powerful synthesizer. Better FM implementation than the famous DX7, entirely usable samples, and very nice filters. The keyboard action is stellar, and it's surprisingly easy to use, despite hailing from the dark ages of synth UI design. I'm glad I was able to find one again.

This synth is powerful, I bought it at a music store where it was right next to a roland fantom. Guess what? this yamaha beat the snot out of the roland board. It combines the best features of a DX-7 with great waveform synthesis. Nothing else except a few other yamahas have this type of sound generation. It goes very well with my ESQ-1 in a mix. Anyway I am a huge fan of any type of waveform synthesis, and this seems to be about the best thing out there in this vein. Although I have never been near a NED synclavier, CMI fairlight, or PPG wave to compare the sounds with the SY.

Hi, I bought my Sy 77 around 15 years ago for $4000 cdn. It was a foolish purchase for me at the time because I didn't know the first thing about playing music. But I planned on learning to play the piano and then making my own electronic music. I never learned to play piano and tried to sell this thing a couple of times. But no one wanted it for the price I was asking. Anyways it has been collecting dust all these years. I decided to take piano lessons once again. I figure now that I am older and more patient perhaps this time I'll succeed and I can get down to creating music on this thing. My question is, I never bought a data card and I was wondering if I hook this thing up to my computer if I can somehow save newly created sounds there or do I need a data card? If not does someone have a data card they are willing to sell me? I also want to thank you guys for your positive reviews of the Sy 77. I didn't realize I had one of the best synths ever made. I thought for sure the stuff out there now would make this keyboard obsolete.
