SYEMB05 Module Information

The SYEMB05 clone module is designed for the Yamaha SY99.
You can fit up to five SYEMB05 units into the SY99 - each giving you a further 512KB of sample memory.
Including the SY99's on-board 512KB this takes the total to 3MB of non-volaile memory.

The memory is backed-up by an onboard CR2032 lithium cell. This is in a battery holder so it that can be easily changed should the need arise.

Instead of the metal bracket as used on the original unit this clone unit has a PVC label so you can pull the board from the SY99, and a foam buffer to keep the board in place once the rear panel is replaced back on the SY99.




Quality Control:
All modules are assembled, soldered and inspected to Class 3 of the IPC-610-C standard for electronic PCB assembly. All anti-static precautions are observed during the assembly & test procedures.

After the unit is fully assembled it goes through a 3-stage PCB cleaning process to remove solder flux and other assembly residue.


Functional Tests:

To ensure the module is fully functional a variety of real-time functional tests are performed. These tests ensure that the module will accept sample data, playback multiple samples with no unwanted noise, and hold the sample data without corruption when your unit is switched off. Also, the standby voltage is monitored to ensure there is no abnormal load on the module's lithium battery. The unit is powered down for 24 hours and the tests are performed again.

The module is then serialised and packed in a static shield bag ready for dispatch.
