Sector101 WaveBlade 8MB Programmable Wavecard Overview
The 8MB WaveBlade card is a programmable Waveform Card for use with all the Yamaha SY / TG series synthesizers that support Yamaha Waveform cards.
Yamaha units that support Waveform Cards:
- SY55 & TG55
- SY77 & TG77
- SY85 & TG500
- SY99
- RM50
- RY30
This programmable waveform card can also be used as a sample storage device for loading samples into machines with internal sample memory. Copying sample data from the waveform card into internal sample memory is much faster than using floppy disk or Midi SDS.
There is no functionality impact when using this programmable waveform card with the SY99, SY85, TG500, and RM50. Samples stored in internal sample memory, SYEMB05 or SYEMB06 modules are still fully accessible. This programmable waveform card offers extra sample storage on top of any sample storage installed in these machines.
Creating Samples & Waveforms:
Currently the only software available that will create the image files for this card is Derek Cook's sy.factory application. This app will allow the import of WAV files to create single-sample tones or multi-sample waveforms. You can configure the key-range, pitch, looping & original key settings of each sample which allows you to easily create a multi-sample waveform. Once you have everything setup it can be saved as one complete image file for direct upload into the WaveBlade card. The image file can be loaded back into sy.factory and tweaked if necessary.
Yamaha Waveform Card Library:
There is a library of Yamaha Waveform Card images for use in the WaveBlade.
The WaveBlade can contain eight Yamaha Waveform card images at one time.
The Card Library has been built from card sets that have been kindly lent to me by card owners.
If you have any card sets that are not already in the library and are willing to have them archived please contact me using the email at the bottom of the page.

The cards can also be auditioned on SoundCloud
The library contains the waveform cards below:
In addition to the above wavecards there are WaveBlade Images of the SY/TG55 and SY/TG77 WaveROM available in the library.
