FYS
Remedy
TheFYSsoundsoccasionally repeat
themselves.
Once inFYS, theengine doesn't go into
reverse.
When the FYSenters itslast sequencethe
bell automatically comeson.
When FYSisenabled,pressingthewhistle
and bellbuttonshasnoeffect.
IpushtheDirectionbuttonbutthenext
sound clip in thesequence doesnot play or
theenginedoesnotcomeoutofFYS after
the fourth pressoftheDirectionbutton.
Proto-Sound 2 .0 hasabuilt-inrandomnumber
generatorthatrandomly selectseachsoundclipto
play. Becausethere a re a limited number o f
sound clips available in e a c h FYS sequence,it is
probable that some ofthese sound clipswillbe
repeatedfromtime to time.
SothatFYSeffectscanbe asrealisticas possible,
Proto-Sound 2 .0 disables the reversingunit
wheneverFYSisenabled. Thiswaythe engine

FYS isprogrammed tostartringingthebelland
then toput theengineinmotionatthatpoint.
After a pproximately 15 ringsofthebell,itwill
automatically turnoff.
BecauseFYSmustcontrolvariouseffectsineach
