SYEMB06 Module Information
Yamaha SY85:
You can install up to two of these modules to give you 1MB of non-volatile sample memory on top of whatever volatile memory you currently have installed.
Samples can be loaded from the floppy drive, by Midi Sample Dump, or from Waveform Cards.
After you load your samples into the SY85's non-volatile memory area they will remain stored intact after the SY85 has been switched off. When you switch the SY85 back on again your samples are ready to go!
All the sample and waveform parameters will also be stored intact so there is nothing you need to setup again after powering the SY85 up!
Yamaha TG500:
Unlike the SY85 the TG500 ships with no onboard sample memory at all. You can install up to two of these modules to give you 1MB of non-volatile sample memory to play with.
Samples can be loaded from Waveform Cards, or sent to the unit using Midi Sample Dump.
As with the SY85 the sample and waveform parameters will be stored intact so there is nothing you need to setup again after powering up!
Yamaha RM50:
As with the TG500 the RM50 ships with no onboard sample memory. You can install one of these modules to give you 512KB of non-volatile memory to play with.
Samples can be loaded from Waveform Cards, or sent to the unit using Midi Sample Dump.
As with the SY85 the sample and waveform parameters will be stored intact so there is nothing you need to setup again after powering up!
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 unit's internal 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.

Big kudos on the impeccable re-engineering job on the modules. I retraced their development trajectory via the SY-series discussions on Yamaha UK forums, and I must applaud you for the selfless devotion to getting this product up and out to all the SY/TG afficionados who have been dying to give their instruments a new lease on life without breaking the bank. More grease to your elbows, mate!
