The SY85 was Yamaha's debut S+S ('samples' and 'synthesis') synth workstation.

A fabulous synth with hundreds of high quality sounds on-board, capable of everything from natural acoustic sounds through to hardcore synth noises.

It features a dual-bus effects system (with four sends to it).
A highly competent 16-track sequencer on-board with a wide range of quality drum and percussion samples for rhythmic accompaniment.
6Mb of Wave ROM.
Sounds/samples can be imported using the on-board floppy disk drive and there are also two card slots to add further new sounds.
A very nice keyboard with an action suitable for many different levels of proficiency and one that could certainly work as a main keyboard in a MIDI setup.
Eight sliders beneath the 2x16 LCD that can be used for programming but also as 'quick tweak' controls when performing.
Comes with stand.
