duce a truly authentic, rich sound—full of atmosphere and ambi-
ence.
Cool! These Voices capture the dynamic textures and subtle nuances of
electric instruments—thanks to a huge amount of memory and
some very sophisticated programming.
Sweet! These acoustic instrument sounds also benefit from Yamaha’s sophis-
ticated technology—and feature a sound so finely detailed and natu-
ral, you’ll swear you’re playing the real thing!
Drums Various drum and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys,
letting you play the sounds from the keyboard.
SFX Various special effect sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting
you play the sounds from the keyboard.

Selecting the Harmony/Echo type
You can select the desired Harmony/Echo effect from a variety of types.
1 Turn the [HARMONY/ECHO] button on.
2 Call up the operation display.
[FUNCTION] [F] HARMONY/ECHO
3 Use the [1 ▲▼]–[3 ▲▼] buttons to select the Harmony/Echo type.
The Harmony/Echo types are divided into the following groups, depending on
the particular effect applied.
Harmony Types
When one of the Harmony Types is selected, the Harmony effect is applied to
the note played in the right-hand section of the keyboard according to the
type selected above and the chord specified in the chord section of the key-
board shown below.
Multi Assign Type
The Multi Assign effect automatically assigns notes played simultaneously on
the right-hand section of the keyboard to separate parts (Voices). For example,
if you play three consecutive notes, the first is played by the RIGHT 1 Voice, the
second by the RIGHT 2 Voice, and the third by the RIGHT 3 Voice. The Multi
Assign effect is not affected by the [ACMP] and LEFT part on/off status.
When the [MONO] button is turned to
on or you use the SA/SA2 Voices, the
Harmony/Echo effect may not work
properly.
NOTE
Harmony Types
These types apply the harmony effect to notes played in the right-hand section of
the keyboard according to the chord specified in the left-hand section of the key-
board. (Note that the “1+5” and “Octave” settings are not affected by the chord.)
Multi Assign Type
This type applies a special effect to chords played in the right-hand section of the
keyboard.
Echo Types
These types apply echo effects to notes played in the right-hand section of the
keyboard in time with the currently set tempo.

Echo Types
When one of the Echo Types is selected, the corresponding effect (echo, trem-
olo, trill) is applied to the note played in the right-hand section of the key-
board in time with the currently set tempo, regardless of the [ACMP] and the
LEFT part on/off status. Keep in mind that Trill works when you hold down two
notes on the keyboard simultaneously (last two notes if more than two notes
are held), and it plays those notes alternately.
4 Use the [4 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons to select various Harmony/Echo set-
tings.
The available settings differ depending on the Harmony/Echo type.
[4 ▲▼] VOLUME This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi Assign.” It
determines the level of the harmony/echo notes generated by the Harmony/
Echo effect.
[5 ▲▼] SPEED This parameter is only available when Echo, Tremolo, or Trill is selected in
Type above. It determines the speed of the Echo, Tremolo, and Trill effects.
[6 ▲▼] ASSIGN This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi Assign.”
This lets you determine the keyboard part via which the harmony/echo notes
will be sounded.
[7 ▲▼] CHORD NOTE
ONLY
This parameter is available when one of the Harmony Types is selected. When
this is set to “ON,” the Harmony effect is applied only to the note (played in
the right-hand section of the keyboard) that belongs to a chord played in the
chord section of the keyboard.
[8 ▲▼] TOUCH LIMIT This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi Assign.” It
determines the lowest velocity value at which the harmony note will sound.
This allows you to selectively apply the harmony by your playing strength, let-
ting you create harmony accents in the melody. The harmony effect is applied
when you play the key strongly (above the set value).

The tuning of each note for the currently
selected scale is shown.
EQUAL The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts,
with each half-step evenly spaced in pitch. This is the most com-
monly used tuning in music today.
PURE MAJOR, PURE
MINOR
These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each
scale, especially for triad chords (root, third, fifth). You can hear this
best in actual vocal harmonies—such as choirs and a cappella sing-
ing.
PYTHAGOREAN This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is cre-
ated from a series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single
octave. The 3rd in this tuning are slightly unstable, but the 4th and
5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads.
MEAN-TONE This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale,
by making the major third interval more “in tune.” It was especially
popular from the 16th century to the 18th century. Handel, among
others, used this scale.
WERCKMEISTER, KIRN-
BERGER
This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger sys-
tems, which were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and
Pythagorean scales. The main feature of this scale is that each key
has its own unique character. The scale was used extensively during
the time of Bach and Beethoven, and even now it is often used when
performing period music on the harpsichord.
ARABIC1, ARABIC2 Use these tunings when playing Arabic music.

2 AFTERTOUCH
Aftertouch can be used to modulate the parameters below. Here, you can set
the degree to which Aftertouch modulates each of the following parameters.
SOUND Page
FILTER
Filter is a processor that changes the timbre or tone of a sound by either block-
ing or passing a specific frequency range. The parameters below determine
the overall timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting a certain frequency
range. In addition to making the sound either brighter or mellower, Filter can
be used to produce electronic, synthesizer-like effects.
EG
The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the level of the
sound changes in time. This lets you reproduce many sound charac-
teristics of natural acoustic instruments—such as the quick attack and
decay of percussion sounds, or the long release of a sustained piano
tone.
[2 ▲▼] FILTER Determines the degree to which Aftertouch modulates the Filter Cutoff Fre-
quency. See below for details about Filter.
[3 ▲▼] AMPLITUDE Determines the degree to which Aftertouch modulates the amplitude (vol-
ume).
[5 ▲▼] LFO PMOD Determines the degree to which Aftertouch modulates the pitch, or the
vibrato effect.
[6 ▲▼] LFO FMOD Determines the degree to which Aftertouch modulates the Filter modulation,
or the wah effect.
[7 ▲▼] LFO AMOD Determines the degree to which Aftertouch modulates the amplitude, or the
tremolo effect.
[1 ▲▼] BRIGHTNESS Determines the cutoff frequency or
effective frequency range of the filter
(see diagram). Higher values result in
a brighter sound.
[2 ▲▼] HARMONIC
CONTENT
Determines the emphasis given to
the cutoff frequency (resonance), set
in BRIGHTNESS above (see diagram).
Higher values result in a more pro-
nounced effect.

The powerful Voice Creator features of the Tyros3 give you the tools to create your own original Voices. Voice Cre-
ator allows you to import your own “Wave” (audio samples in WAV or AIFF format), and assign them to the keys—
building completely new Voices with completely new sounds.
Two types of Voices can be created: Normal Voice (see below) and Drum Voice (page 22). The creating procedure
differs depending on the Voice type.
Creating Normal Voices (Custom Voice)
By importing Wave files, you can create your original Voices—not only create from scratch, but also add Waves to
the existing Voices. A Voice consists of eight elements and you need to assign Wave files to each element (more
than two Waves can be assigned to one element).
The resulting Voice is called a Custom Voice and can be selected and played in the same way as all other Tyros3
Voices.
1 Prepare the audio data you’ll be using for the new Voice.
Only WAV or AIFF format data can be used for the Voice Creator. Store the files
in a USB storage device or hard disk drive.

NOTE
Notes for Available Audio Files
This instrument cannot recognize the extension .aiff. When you use an
AIFF file, change the extension to .aif.
Only use uncompressed files.
Audio data used for the Voice Creator can be of any sample rate or bit res-
olution. However, all audio data of a resolution other than 16-bit is auto-
matically converted to 16-bit resolution after being loaded.
Only use Wave data having the following frequencies: 96000 Hz, 88000
Hz, 48000 Hz, 44100 Hz, 32000 Hz, 22050 Hz or 11025 Hz. Otherwise,
the data may not play back at the correct pitch.
•Voice Creator supports and recognizes loops in the audio data, letting you
use up to one loop in each audio file. (Some sample libraries have loops
already programmed into the data; you can also use audio editing soft-
ware to program loops yourself. Keep in mind however, that multiple
loops are not supported.)
Audio files recorded with the Hard Disk Recorder cannot be used as is
with the Voice Creator. If you want to use a Hard Disk Recorder file,
export the file in .wav data format.

original sound; for example, if the original pitch of the audio was at C3, set
Center Key to C3 for best results. When Fixed Pitch (above) is set to ON, this
has no effect. You can specify this setting directly from the keyboard by simul-

the instrument supplies appropriately orchestrated rhythm, bass, and chord
accompaniment in the selected Style. The Fingered type recognizes the vari-
ous chord types which are listed on the Data List available at the Yamaha
website and can be looked up using the Chord Tutor function on page 30.
FINGERED ON BASS Accepts the same fingerings as Fingered, but the lowest note played in the
Chord section of the keyboard is used as the bass note, allowing you to play
“on bass” chords. (In the Fingered more, the root of the chord is always used
as the bass note.)
FULL KEYBOARD Detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way similar
to Fingered, even if you split the notes between your left and right hands—
for example, playing a bass note with your left hand and a chord with your
right, or by playing a chord with your left hand and a melody note with your
right.
AI FINGERED Basically the same as Fingered, with the exception that less than three notes
can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord,
etc.).
AI FULL KEYBOARD When this advanced fingering type is engaged, the instrument will automati-
cally create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything,
anywhere on the keyboard using both hands. You don’t have to worry about
specifying the Style chords. Although the AI Full Keyboard type is designed
to work with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for use
with this feature. This type is similar to Full Keyboard, with the exception that
less than three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the pre-
viously played chord, etc.). 9th, 11th and 13th chords cannot be played. This
type is available only for Style playback.

Style Playback Related Settings
[1 ▲▼] STOP ACMP When [ACMP] is turned on and [SYNC START] is off, you can play chords in
the chord section of the keyboard with the Style stopped, and still hear the
accompaniment chord. In this condition—called “Stop Accompaniment”—
any valid chord fingerings are recognized and the chord root/type are shown
in the display. Here, you can determine whether the chord played in the
chord section will sound or not in the Stop Accompaniment status.
OFF: The chord played in the chord section will not sound.
STYLE: The chord played in the chord section will sound via the Voices for
the Pad part and the Bass channel of the selected Style.
FIXED: The chord played in the chord section will sound via the specified
Voice, regardless of the selected Style.
[2 ▲▼] OTS LINK TIMING This applies to the OTS Link function. This parameter determines the timing
in which the One Touch Settings change with the MAIN VARIATION [A]–[D]
change. (The [OTS LINK] button must be on.)
Real Time: One Touch Setting is immediately called up when you press a
MAIN VARIATION button.
Next Bar: One Touch Setting is called up at the next measure, after you press
a MAIN VARIATION button.
[3 ▲▼] SYNCHRO STOP
WINDOW
This determines how long you can hold a chord before the Synchro Stop
function is automatically cancelled. When the [SYNC STOP] button is turned
on and this is set to a value other than “OFF,” this is automatically cancels the
Synchro Stop function if you hold a chord for longer than the time set here.
This conveniently resets Style playback control to normal, letting you release
the keys and still have the Style play. In other words, if you release the keys
sooner than the time set here, the Synchro Stop function works.
When the selected Style contains MegaVoices, unexpected sounds may result when this is set
to “STYLE.”
NOTE
When you record a song, the chord detected by playing the Stop Accompaniment can be
recorded regardless of the setting here. Please note that both the Voice that is sounded and the
chord data will be recorded when set to “STYLE,” and only the chord data will be recorded
when set to “OFF” or “FIXED.”

Styles are made up of fifteen different sections and each section has eight separate channels.
With the Style Creator feature, you can create a Style by separately recording the channels, or by importing pattern
data from other existing Styles. You can use one of the three different methods described below to create a Style.
The created Style can also be edited.
Realtime Recording: This method lets you record the Style by simply playing the keyboard. See page 37.
Step Recording: This method lets you to enter each note individually. See page 40.

5 Use the [5 ▲▼]/[6 ▲▼] buttons to determine the length (number of
measures) of the selected section, then press the [D] (EXECUTE) but-
ton to actually enter the specified length.
Realtime Recording Characteristics—Loop Recording and Overdub Recording
Loop Recording
Style playback repeats the rhythm patterns of several measures in a “loop,” and Style recording is also
done using loops. For example, if you start recording with a two-measure MAIN section, the two measures
are repeatedly recorded. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition (loop), letting you
record while hearing previously recorded material.
Overdub Recording
This method records new material to a channel already containing recorded data, without deleting the
original data. In Style recording, the recorded data is not deleted, except when using functions such as
Rhythm Clear and Delete (page 38). For example, if you start recording with a two-measure MAIN section,
the two measures are repeated many times. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition,
letting you overdub new material to the loop while hearing previously recorded material.
When creating a Style based on an existing internal Style, overdub recording is applied only to the rhythm
channels. For all other channels (except rhythm), you need to delete the original data before recording.
You can specify the sections to be
recorded by using the Section buttons
on the panel. Refer to step 3 on
page 40.
You cannot select INTRO 4 and ENDING
4 sections directly via the panel opera-
tion.

Rules when recording non-rhythm channels
Use only the CM7 scale tones when recording the BASS and PHRASE
channels (i.e., C, D, E, G, A, and B).
Use only the chord tones when recording the CHORD and PAD channels
(i.e., C, E, G, and B).
Using the data recorded here, the auto accompaniment (Style playback) is
appropriately converted depending on the chord changes you make during
your performance. The chord which forms the basis for this note conversion
is called the Source Chord, and is set by default to CM7 (as in the example
illustration above).
You can change the Source Chord (its root and type) from the PARAMETER
display on page 45. Keep in mind that when you change the Source Chord
from the default CM7 to another chord, the chord notes and recom-
mended notes will also change. For details on chord notes and recom-
mended notes, see page 46.

Step Recording
In the EDIT Page, you can record notes with absolutely precise timing. This Step Recording procedure is essentially
the same as that for Song Recording (page 56) with the exception of the points listed below:
In the Song Creator, the End Mark position can be changed freely; in the Style Creator, it cannot be changed.
This is because the length of the Style is automatically fixed, depending on the selected section. For example, if
you create a Style based on a section of four measures length, the End Mark position is automatically set to the
end of the fourth measure, and cannot be changed in the Step Recording display.
Recording channels can be changed in the Song Creator 1-16 tab display; however, they cannot be changed in
the Style Creator. Select the recording channel in the BASIC tab display.
In the Style Creator, the channel data can be entered and System Exclusive data can be edited (delete, copy, or
move). You can switch between the two by pressing the [F] button. However, Chord, Lyrics, and System Exclu-
sive data cannot be entered.
For instructions on Step Recording, refer to pages 56–59. For information on the EDIT display (Event List display),

ORIGINAL BEAT Specifies the beats to which Groove timing is to be applied. In other words, if
“8 Beat” is selected, Groove timing is applied to the 8th notes; if “12 Beat” is
selected, Groove timing is applied to 8th-note triplets.
[3 ▲▼]/
[4 ▲▼]
BEAT CONVERTER Actually changes the timing of the beats (specified in the ORIGINAL BEAT
parameter above) to the selected value. For example, when ORIGINAL BEAT is
set to “8 Beat” and BEAT CONVERTER is set to “12,” all 8th notes in the sec-
tion are shifted to 8th-note triplet timing. The “16A” and “16B” Beat Con-
verter which appear when ORIGINAL BEAT is set to “12 Beat” are variations
on a basic 16th-note setting.
[5 ▲▼]/
[6 ▲▼]
SWING Produces a “swing” feel by shifting the timing of the back beats, depending
on the ORIGINAL BEAT parameter above. For example, if the specified ORIGI-
NAL BEAT value is “8 Beat”, the Swing parameter will selectively delay the
2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats of each measure to create a swing feel. The set-
tings “A” through “E” produce different degrees of swing, with “A” being the
most subtle and “E” being the most pronounced.
[7 ▲▼]/
[8 ▲▼]
FINE Selects a variety of Groove “templates” to be applied to the selected section.
The “PUSH” settings cause certain beats to be played early, while “HEAVY”
settings delay the timing of certain beats. The numbered settings (2, 3, 4, 5)
determine which beats are to be affected. All beats up to the specified beat—
but not including the first beat—will be played early or delayed (for example,
the 2nd and 3rd beats, if “3” is selected). In all cases, “A” types produce min-
imum effect, “B” types produce medium effect, and “C” types produce maxi-
mum effect.

Making Style File Format Settings
The Style File Format (SFF) combines all of Yamaha’s auto accompaniment (Style playback) know-how into a single
unified format. By using the Style Creator, you can take advantage of the power of the SFF format and freely create
your own Styles.
The chart shown below indicates the process by which the Style is played back. (This does not apply to the rhythm
track.) These parameters can be set via the Style Creator feature, in the PARAMETER Page.
Chord change via the chord section of the keyboard.
The Tyros3’s Styles are compatible with SFF GE—an enhanced format of the original
SFF with especially rich, expressive guitar parts.
1 In the PARAMETER Page, use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the edit
menu.
For details of the edit menu, see page 46.
2 Use the [1 ▲▼]/[2 ▲▼] (CHANNEL) buttons to select the channel to
be edited.
The selected channel is shown at the upper left of the display.
3 Use the [3 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons to edit the data.
For details on editable parameters, see pages 46–48.
4 Press the [I] (SAVE) button to execute the Save operation.
Source Pattern settings—SOURCE (PLAY) ROOT/CHORD (page 46)
There are a variety of possibilities for Style playback notes, depending on
the particular root note and chord type that are selected. The Style data is
appropriately converted depending on the chord changes you make during
your performance. This basic Style data that you create with the Style Cre-
ator is referred to as the “Source Pattern.”
Note Transposition settings—NTR and NTT (page 46)
This parameter group features two parameters that determine how the
notes of the Source Pattern are to be converted in response to chord
changes.
Other settings—HIGH KEY, NOTE LIMIT and RTR (page 48)
Using the parameters of this group, you can fine-tune how Style playback
responds to the chords you play. For example, the Note Limit parameter
allows you to have the Voices of the Style sound as realistic as possible by
shifting the pitch to an authentic range—ensuring that no notes sound out-
side the natural range of the actual instrument (e.g., high bass sounds or
low piccolo sounds).
The Style files created on the Tyros3 can
only be played back on instruments
which are compatible with SFF GE.

1 SOURCE (PLAY) ROOT/CHORD
These settings determine the original key of the source pattern (i.e., the key
used when recording the pattern). The default setting of CM7 (with a Source
Root of “C” and a Chord Type of “M7”), is automatically selected whenever
the preset data is deleted prior to recording a new Style, regardless of the
Source Root and Chord included in the preset data. When you change Source
Root/Chord from the default CM7 to another chord, the chord notes and rec-
ommended notes will also change, depending on the newly selected chord
type.
2 NTR/NTT
When NTR is set to “Root Fixed” and
NTT is set to “Bypass,” the “Source
Root” and “Source Chord” parameters

NTR (Note Trans-
position Rule)
Determines the relative position of the root note in the chord, when con-
verted from the Source Pattern in response to chord changes.
ROOT TRANS
(Root Transpose)
When the root note is transposed, the
pitch relationship between notes is main-
tained. For example, the notes C3, E3 and
G3 in the key of C become F3, A3 and C4
when they are transposed to F. Use this
setting for channels that contain melody
lines.
ROOT FIXED The note is kept as close as possible to the
previous note range. For example, the
notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C
become C3, F3 and A3 when they are
transposed to F. Use this setting for chan-
nels that contain chord parts.
GUITAR This is exclusively for transposing guitar accompaniment. Notes are
transposed to approximate the chords played with natural guitar fin-
gering.

The channel for which this is set to ON will be played back by the bass root
note, when the on-bass chord is recognized by the instrument. When the
NTR is set to GUITAR and this parameter is set to ON, only the note which is
assigned to bass will be played back by the bass root note.

NTT (Note Transposition Table)
When the NTR is set to ROOT TRANS or ROOT FIXED
When the NTR is set to GUITAR
BYPASS When NTR is set to ROOT FIXED, the transposition table used does
not do any note conversion. When NTR is set to ROOT TRANS, the
table used only converts the notes by maintaining the pitch relation-
ship between notes.
MELODY Suitable for melody line transposition. Use this for melody channels
such as Phrase 1 and Phrase 2.
CHORD Suitable for chordal parts transposition. Use this for the Chord 1 and
Chord 2 channels, especially when they contain piano or guitar-like
chordal parts.
MELODIC MINOR When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this
table lowers the third interval in the scale by a semitone. When the
chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third inter-
val is raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for
melody channels of Sections which respond only to major/minor
chords, such as Intros and Endings
MELODIC MINOR 5th In addition to the Melodic Minor transposition above, augmented
and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source Pattern.
HARMONIC MINOR When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this
table lowers the third and sixth intervals in the scale by a semitone.
When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor
third and flatted sixth intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes
are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which
respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings.
HARMONIC MINOR 5th In addition to the Harmonic Minor transposition above, augmented
and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern.
NATURAL MINOR When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this
table lowers the third, sixth and seventh intervals in the scale by a
semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord,
the minor third, flatted sixth and flatted seventh intervals are raised
by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord
channels of Sections which respond only to a Major/minor chord
such as Intros and Endings.
NATURAL MINOR 5th In addition to the Natural Minor transposition above, augmented
and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern.
DORIAN When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this
table lowers the third and seventh intervals in the scale by a
semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord,
the minor third and flatted seventh intervals are raised by a
semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels
of Sections which respond only to a Major/minor chord such as
Intros and Endings.
DORIAN 5th In addition to the Dorian transposition above, augmented and
diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern.
ALL-PURPOSE This table covers both strummed- and arpeggio-played sound.
STROKE Suitable for stroke-played sound of the guitar. Some notes may
sound as if it is muted—this is normal condition when the chord is
played on guitar by stroke.
ARPEGGIO Suitable for arpeggio-played sound of the guitar. Using this table,
four notes arpeggio sounds most beautiful.

HIGH KEY This sets the highest key (upper octave limit) of the note transposition for the
chord root change. Any notes calculated to be higher than the highest key
are transposed down to the next lowest octave. This setting is available only
when the NTR parameter (page 46) is set to “Root Trans.”
[6 ▲▼] NOTE LIMIT LOW These set the note range (highest and lowest notes) for Voices recorded to the
Style channels. By judicious setting of this range, you can ensure that the
Voices sound as realistic as possible—in other words, that no notes outside
the natural range are sounded (e.g., high bass sounds or low piccolo sounds).

1 QUANTIZE
The Quantize function allows you to align the timing of all the notes in a chan-
nel. For example, if you record the musical phrase shown at right, you may not
play it with absolute precision, and your performance may have been slightly
ahead of or behind the precise timing. Quantize is a convenient way of cor-
recting for this.
2 DELETE
You can delete the data of the specified channel in the Song. Select the chan-
nel whose data to be deleted by using the [1 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons, then press
the [D] (EXECUTE) button to execute the operation.
[2 ▲▼]/
[3 ▲▼]
CHANNEL Determines which MIDI channel in the Song data is to be quantized.
[4 ▲▼]–
[6 ▲▼]
SIZE Selects the quantize size (resolution). For optimum results, you should set the
Quantize size to the shortest note value in the channel. For example, if eighth
notes are the shortest in the channel, you should use eighth note as the
Quantize size.
The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally conve-
nient, since they allow you to quantize two different note values at the same
time. For example, when the straight eighth notes and eighth notes triplet are
contained in the same channel, if you quantize by the straight eighth notes,
all notes in the channel are quantized to straight eighth notes—completely
eliminating any triplet feel. However, if you use the eighth note + eighth note
triplet setting, both the straight and triplet notes will be quantized correctly.
[7 ▲▼]/
[8 ▲▼]
STRENGTH Determines how strongly the notes will be quantized. A setting of 100% pro-
duces exact timing. If a value less than 100% is selected, notes will be moved
toward the specified quantization beats according to the specified percent-
age. Applying less than 100% quantization lets you preserve some of the
“human” feel in the recording.

Editing Song Position Markers
This section covers two additional Marker-related features and details. For basic information on using the Markers
for jump playback and loop playback, refer to the Owner’s Manual.
Jump Markers
The Markers explained in the Owner’s Manual are also called “Jump Markers.” In the
Event List display, they are indicated as “SPJ-01”–”SPJ-04” (page 67). In the Event List,
they can be moved freely to other positions and can even copied to create identical
Marker numbers at other positions. When the same Marker number is contained at
different locations in the Song, the latest occurring one is used as a “Loop End
Marker” (below).
Loop End Marker
Loop End Markers can be used for putting additional Markers in Song data, providing
even greater versatility. Creating a Loop End Marker is done within the Event List (and
not with the [SP 1]–[SP 4] buttons on the panel), by simply copying one “SPJ” Jump
Marker event to another position in the Song.
For basic information on loop playback between successive Jump Markers, refer to the
Owner’s Manual.
The examples below show how Loop End Markers can be used in Song playback.
If the Song is playing back between the two SPJ-01 points, turning on [LOOP] will
result in a playback loop between those points.
If the Song is playing back between the second SPJ-01 and SPJ-02 and [LOOP] is
turned on, playback jumps back to the first SPJ-01 and loops between two SPJ-01
points.
If the Song is playing back between SPJ-02 and the second SPJ-01, turning on
[LOOP] will result in a playback loop between those points.
If the [LOOP] button is turned on while the Song is playing back between the top
of the Song and SPJ-02, playback will loop between SPJ-01 and SPJ-02.
If the Song is playing back between the second SPJ-01 and SPJ-03 and [LOOP] is
turned on, playback jumps back to SPJ-02 and loops between SPJ-02 and the sec-
ond SPJ-01 (Loop End Marker).
In the examples above, the actual data of the Loop End Marker is identical to the
event it was copied from—only the location of the copied Marker provides it with this
different function.
In Song playback, the markers formatted as “SPJ-xxxxx” (xxxxx: any character except
01–04 and any number of letters is OK) are handled as Loop End Markers. Since the
Event List in the Song Creator function does not let you freely name Markers, the
instructions above are recommended for creating new Markers. However, with
sequence software on a computer, you can create new Markers and assign appropri-
ate names to them. By naming Markers in this way, you can easily distinguish between
Loop End Markers and Jump Markers in the Event List.
[SPJ-01] [SPJ-01] [SPJ-02] [SPJ-03] [SPJ-04]
Top of the
song
End of the
song
Example 1
[SPJ-01] [SPJ-02] [SPJ-01] [SPJ-03] [SPJ-04]
Top of the
song
End of the
song
Example 2
Loop playback problems may occur if
successive Markers are too close to one
another.
When the effect settings of the jump
destination (the position you’re jumping
to) differ from those at the jump source,
glitches or drop-outs in the sound may
result. This is because of limitations in
the effect processors of the Tyros3.
When using the Guide function
(page 53) with jump playback, keep in
mind that the Guide indication may not
be able to stay in time with the jumps.

listed below:
There is no LCD button for switching channels, since Multi Pads contain data for only a single channel.
In the Multi Pad Creator, only the channel events and System Exclusive messages can be entered. Chord and Lyr-
ics events are not available. You can switch between the two types of Event Lists by pressing the [F] button.
The SA, SA2 and Organ Flute Voices
cannot be recorded. If one of these

In addition to letting you record audio directly with the Tyros3, the Hard Disk Recorder also allows you to import
audio data from a USB storage device to Main track. The benefits of this feature are many. For example, you can:
Use existing audio material (commercially available samples, loops, sound effects, etc.) on the Tyros3.
Record your performance to another device (such as on a computer or audio sequencer), add vocals and other
instruments as desired, then import the finished audio to the Tyros3.
Export a recording made on the Tyros3 to a computer-based audio editor—giving you more comprehensive edit-
ing features and greater editing convenience—then import the audio back to the Tyros3. (See “Exporting an
Audio File” on the Owner’s Manual.)
Files which can be imported must have these characteristics:
Stereo Wave data
44.1 kHz sample rate
16-bit resolution

Normalize raises the volume of the recorded audio to the optimum level. Use this to make the recorded audio as
loud as possible, without distortion. Technically, this operation scans the recorded file for the highest level, then
raises the volume of the entire file so that the highest peak is set to the maximum, non-distorting level. Normaliza-
tion is calculated for the loudest signal found in either channel of the stereo recording and the same gain is applied
to both channels.

the existing data. After stopping recording, the data will be erased from the stop
point.

the audio is playing. Change the volume settings if necessary.
If you wish to add a keyboard-played Voice from the Tyros3, select the desired

nect a microphone or instrument and make the appropriate settings. Adjust
the HDR Track Play and Rec Monitor levels here as desired.

8 When finished recording, press the [STOP] button.
After stopping recording, the data will be erased from the stop point.
Re-recording
Re-recording of the data repeatedly will
result in deterioration of the sound
quality.
NOTE
Since you will be overdubbing parts
onto this audio, it’s best to keep the first
recording simple. For example, you
may want to record just a rhythm pattern
(such as by playing back a Style) or a
simple bass riff over which you can add
other parts.

PUNCH IN OUT / PUNCH IN OUT (MERGE)
This method of recording can only be used on an existing recording. It allows you to
re-record over a specific part of the already-recorded material. You can replace the
original part with the new recording by PUNCH IN/OUT, or keeping the original and
mixing it with the new by PUNCH IN/OUT (MERGE). This lets you either correct a mis-
take in the recording or overdub new parts onto the original recording.
Keep in mind that the parts before and after the Punch In/Out section are not
recorded over and remain as the original data—they play back normally to guide you
in and out of the recording.

• Replace a certain range of the data: PUNCH IN/OUT
• Overdub a certain range of the data: PUNCH IN/OUT (MERGE)
The Hard Disk Recorder automatically
reduces the level of the previous track
by a certain, slight amount to accom-
modate the new recording. This is done
to minimize possible distortion. You
can use the Normalize effect to maxi-
mize the volume of the overall sound.
For details, see page 82.
NOTE
Keep in mind that even if you
neglect to save the recorded data
in this step, the originally
recorded file (before re-recording)
will still remain on the hard disk
drive.
CAUTION
You can re-record over only one range
at one time.
The beginning and ending of the
recorded data using the Punch In/Out
function is faded in/out automatically.
This is done to minimize possible noise
at the beginning and ending of the

The Playlist is a convenient feature within the Hard Disk Recorder that lets you collect and organize audio files for
automatic playback in “jukebox” fashion. The Playlist mode can be active in the background (for example, when
the Main display is selected), letting you play the listed files whenever you wish during your performance.
The “Basic/Playlist” indicator at the upper left of the display shows whether the Hard Disk Recorder is set to the
Basic mode (playback of a single file) or the Playlist mode (automatic playback of multiple files).
Creating a Playlist
Once you have a number of recorded or imported audio files on the installed hard disk
drive, you can assign those files to the Playlist. The files can be put in any order and
can be entered any number of times (in other words, a single file can have multiple
instances in a Playlist).

TIME
Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the
first note played on the keyboard to the next. The Portamento Time deter-
mines the pitch transition time. Higher values result in a longer pitch change
time. Setting this to “0” results in no effect. This parameter is available when
the selected keyboard part is set to Mono.

Determines the range of the PITCH BEND wheel for each keyboard part. The
range is from “0” to “12” with each step corresponding to one semitone.
[D]/[I] OCTAVE Determines the range of the pitch change in octaves, over two octaves up or
down for each keyboard part. The value set here is added to the setting via
the OCTAVE [-]/[+] buttons.
TRANSPOSE Allows you to set transposition for overall sound of the instrument (MASTER),
Song playback (SONG), or the keyboard pitch (KEYBOARD), respectively.
Please note that the “KEYBOARD” also transposes the keyboard pitch of Style
playback and the Multi Pads (since these are also affected by keyboard play in
the left-hand section).
[E]/[J] TUNING Determines the pitch of each keyboard part.
If the Pitch Bend range is set to more than 1,200 cents (1 octave) via MIDI, the pitch of some

Equalizer (also called “EQ”) is a sound processor that divides the frequency spectrum
into multiple bands that can be boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall fre-
quency response. Usually an equalizer is used to correct the sound from speakers to
match the special character of the room. For example, you can cut some of the low
range frequencies when playing in large spaces where the sound is too “boomy,” or
boost the high frequencies in rooms and close spaces where the sound is relatively
“dead” and free of echoes.
The Tyros3 possesses a high grade five-band digital EQ. With this function, a final
effect—tone control—can be added to the output of your instrument. You can select
one of the five preset EQ settings in the EQ display. You can even create your own cus-
tom EQ settings by adjusting the frequency bands, and save the settings to one of two
User Master EQ types.

3BAND EQ (selected by [A] or [F] button)
EQ (Equalizer) is a processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple
bands which can be boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall frequency
response. The Tyros3 features a high-grade three-band (LOW, MID and HIGH)
digital equalizer function for the microphone sound.
NOISE GATE (selected by [C] or [H] button)
This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls
below a specified level. This effectively cuts off extraneous noise, allowing the
desired signal (vocal, etc.) to pass.
COMPRESSOR (selected by [C] or [H] button)
This effect holds down the output when the input signal from the microphone
exceeds a specified level. This is especially useful for smoothing out vocals that
have widely varying dynamics. It effectively “compresses” the signal, making
soft parts louder and loud parts softer.

VOCAL HARMONY CONTROL (selected by [E] or [J] button)
The following parameters determine how the Vocal Harmony is controlled.
[1 ▲▼]–
[3 ▲▼]
VOCODER CON-
TROL
The Vocal Harmony effect in Vocoder mode (below) is controlled by note
data—the notes you play on the keyboard and/or the notes of the song data.
This parameter lets you determine which notes are used to control the har-
mony.
[1 ▲▼] MUTE/PLAY When set to “MUTE,” the channel selected below (to control Harmony) is
muted (turned off) during keyboard performance or song playback.
[2 ▲▼] OFF/1–16 When set to “OFF,” song data control over harmony is turned off. When set to
one of the values 1–16, note data (played from a Song on the Tyros3 or exter-
nal MIDI sequencer) contained on the corresponding channel is used to con-
trol the harmony.
[3 ▲▼] KBD (Keyboard) OFF: Keyboard control over harmony is turned off.
UPPER: Notes played to the right of the split point control the harmony.
LOWER: Notes played to the left of the split point control the harmony.
[4 ▲▼] BAL. (Balance) This lets you set the balance between the lead vocal (your own voice) and
Vocal Harmony. Raising this value increases the volume of the Vocal Harmony
and decreases that of the lead vocal. When this is set to L<H63 (L: Lead Vocal,
H: Vocal Harmony), only the Vocal Harmony is output; when it is set to
L63>H, only the lead vocal is output.
[5 ▲▼] MODE (Vocal Har-
mony mode)
All of the Vocal Harmony types fall into one of three modes, which produce
harmony in different ways. The harmony effect is dependent on the selected
Vocal Harmony mode, and this parameter determines how the harmony is
applied to your voice. The three modes are described below.
AUTO: When the [ACMP] or [LEFT] is set to ON and if chord data exists in the
Song, the mode is automatically set to CHORDAL. In all other cases, the
mode is set to VOCODER.
VOCOD (Vocoder): The harmony notes are determined by the notes you
play on the keyboard and/or Song data. You can specify whether the
Vocoder effect is controlled by your keyboard performance or by the Song
data (VOCODER CONTROL parameter above).
CHORD (Chordal): The harmony notes are determined by the following
three types of chord: chords played in the chord section of the keyboard
(with the [ACMP] turned on), chords played in the LEFT Voice section of
the keyboard (with the [ACMP] turned off and the [LEFT] turned on), and
chords contained in Song data for controlling the harmony. (Not available
if the Song does not contain any chord data.)
[6 ▲▼] CHORD The following parameters determine which data in a recorded Song is used
for chord detection.
OFF: Chords are not detected from the Song data.
XF: Chords of XF format are used for the Vocal Harmony.
1–16: Chords are detected from note data in the specified Song channel.
[7 ▲▼] VOCAL RANGE Set this to obtain the most natural vocal harmony, depending on your voice.
NORM.: Normal setting.
LOW: Setting for lower voice. This setting is also appropriate for growling
and shouting.
HIGH: Setting for higher voice. This setting is also appropriate for singing
close to the microphone.

Vocal Harmony Edit parameters
VOCODER TYPE Determines how the harmony notes are applied to the microphone
sound when the Harmony mode (page 104) is set to “VOCODER.”
CHORDAL TYPE Determines how the harmony notes are applied to the microphone
sound when the Harmony mode (page 104) is set to “CHORDAL.”
HARMONY GENDER
TYPE
Determines whether the gender of the harmony sound is changed
or not.
Off: The gender of the harmony sound is not changed.
Auto: The gender of the harmony sound is changed automatically.
LEAD GENDER TYPE Determines whether and how the gender of the lead vocal sound
(i.e., the direct microphone sound) will be changed. Please note that
the number of harmony notes differs depending on the selected
type. When set to Off, three harmony notes are produced. Other
settings produce two harmony notes.
Off: No gender change occurs.
Unison: No gender change occurs. You can adjust the LEAD GEN-
DER DEPTH below.
Male: The corresponding gender change is applied to the lead
vocal.
Female: The corresponding gender change is applied to the lead
vocal.
LEAD GENDER DEPTH Adjusts the degree of lead vocal gender change. This is available
when the LEAD GENDER TYPE above is set to other than Off. The
higher the value, the more “feminine” the harmony voice becomes.
The lower the value, the more “masculine” the voice.
LEAD PITCH CORRECT This parameter is only effective when the LEAD GENDER TYPE above
is set to other than Off. When Smooth or Hard is selected, the pitch
of the lead vocal is shifted in precise semitone steps.
UPPER GENDER THRESH-
OLD
Gender change will occur when the harmony pitch reaches or
exceeds the specified number of semitones above the lead vocal
pitch.
LOWER GENDER
THRESHOLD
Gender change will occur when the harmony pitch reaches or
exceeds the specified number of semitones below the lead vocal
pitch.
UPPER GENDER DEPTH Adjusts the degree of gender change applied to harmony notes
higher than the UPPER GENDER THRESHOLD. The higher the value,
the more “feminine” the harmony voice becomes. The lower the
value, the more “masculine” the voice.
LOWER GENDER DEPTH Adjusts the degree of gender change applied to harmony notes
lower than the LOWER GENDER THRESHOLD. The higher the value,
the more “feminine” the harmony voice becomes. The lower the
value, the more “masculine” the voice.
VIBRATO DEPTH Sets the depth of vibrato applied to the harmony sound. Also affects
the lead vocal sound when the LEAD GENDER TYPE above is set to
other than Off.
VIBRATO RATE Sets the speed of the vibrato effect. Also affects the lead vocal sound
when the LEAD GENDER TYPE above is set to other than Off.
VIBRATO DELAY Specifies the length of the delay before the vibrato effect begins
when a note is produced. Higher values result in a longer delay.

mony note.
HARMONY 1/2/3 PAN Specifies the stereo (pan) position of the first (lowest), second, and
third (highest) harmony note.
Random: The stereo position of the sound will change randomly
whenever the keyboard is played. This is effective when the Har-
mony mode (page 104) is set to “VOCODER” or “CHODAL.”
L63>R–C–L<R63: A setting of L63>R pans the sound hard left,

Pre-programmed MIDI Templates
ALL PARTS Transmits all parts including the keyboard parts (RIGHT 1, 2, 3,
LEFT), with the exception of Song parts.
KBD & STYLE Basically the same as “ALL PARTS” with the exception of how key-
board parts are managed. The right-hand parts are handled as a
“UPPER” instead of RIGHT 1–3 and the left-hand part is handled as a
“LOWER.”
Master KBD1 In this setting, the Tyros3 functions as a “master” keyboard, playing
and controlling one or more connected tone generators or other
devices (such as a computer/sequencer).
Master KBD2 Basically the same as “Master KBD1” above, with the exception that
Aftertouch messages are not transmitted.
Clock Ext. A Playback or recording (Song, Style, Multi Pad, etc.) synchronizes
with an external MIDI clock instead of the Tyros3’s internal clock.
This template should be used when you wish to set the tempo on
the MIDI device connected to the Tyros3. Playback or recording of
the Tyros3 synchronizes with an external clock received via MIDI A.
MIDI Accord 1 MIDI accordions allow you to transmit MIDI data and play con-
nected tone generators from the keyboard and bass/chord buttons
of the accordion. This template lets you play melodies from the key-
board and control Style playback on the Tyros3 with the left-hand
buttons.
MIDI Accord 2 Basically the same as “MIDI Accord1” above, with the exception
that the chord/bass notes you play with your left hand on the MIDI
Accordion are recognized also as MIDI note events.
MIDI Pedal 1 MIDI pedal units allow you play connected tone generators with
your feet (especially convenient for playing single note bass parts).
This template lets you play/control the chord root in Style playback
with a MIDI pedal unit (connected to MIDI B only).
MIDI Pedal 2 This template lets you play the bass part for Style playback by using
a MIDI pedal unit (connected to MIDI B only).
MIDI OFF No MIDI signals are sent or received.

The explanations here apply to the SYSTEM Page in step 4 on page 112.
Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the parameters (below), then set the ON/OFF status by using the [1 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼]
buttons.
1 Local Control
Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When Local Control is set to
“ON,” the keyboard of the Tyros3 controls its own (local) internal tone gener-
ator, allowing the internal Voices to be played directly from the keyboard. If
you set Local to “OFF,” the keyboard and controllers are internally discon-
nected from the Tyros3’s tone generator section so that no sound is output
when you play the keyboard or use the controllers. For example, this allows
you to use an external MIDI sequencer to play the Tyros3’s internal Voices, and
use the Tyros3 keyboard to record notes to the external sequencer and/or play
an external tone generator.
2 Clock setting, etc.
CLOCK
Determines whether the Tyros3 is controlled by its own internal clock or a
MIDI clock signal received from an external device. INTERNAL is the normal
Clock setting when the Tyros3 is being used alone or as a master keyboard to
control external devices. If you are using the Tyros3 with an external
sequencer, MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and you want to synchronize
it to that device, set this parameter to the appropriate setting: MIDI A, MIDI B,
USB 1, or USB 2. In this case, make sure that the external device is connected
properly (e.g., to the Tyros3’s MIDI IN terminal), and that it is properly trans-
mitting a MIDI clock signal.
TRANSMIT CLOCK
Turns MIDI clock (F8) transmission on or off. When set to OFF, no MIDI clock
or Start/Stop data is transmitted even if a Song or Style is played back.
RECEIVE TRANSPOSE
Determines whether or not the Tyros3’s transpose setting is applied to the
note events received by the Tyros3 via MIDI.
START/STOP
Determines whether incoming FA (start) and FC (stop) messages affect Song
or Style playback.
3 MESSAGE SW (Message Switch)
SYS/EX.
The “Tx” setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI System Exclusive messages
on or off. The “Rx” setting turns MIDI reception and recognition of MIDI Sys-
tem Exclusive messages generated by external equipment on or off.
CHORD SYS/EX.
The “Tx” setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI chord exclusive data (chord
detect. root and type) on or off. The “Rx” setting turns MIDI reception and
recognition of MIDI chord exclusive data generated by external equipment on
or off.
If the Clock is set other than INTERNAL,
the Style, Song or Multi Pad cannot be
played from the panel buttons.

received at the channel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the notes for detecting chords in Style playback. The
chords to be detected depend on the fingering type. The chord types will be detected regardless of the [ACMP] or
split point settings. When several channels are simultaneously set to “ON,” the chord type is detected from merged
MIDI data received over the channels.
The operation procedure is basically the same as that of the BASS display above.

MFC10 Settings
The explanations here apply to the MFC10 Page in step 4 on page 112.
By connecting an optional MFC10 MIDI Foot Controller to the Tyros3, you can conveniently control a wide range
of operations and functions by using your feet—perfect for changing settings and controlling the sound while you
perform live. Different functions can be assigned to each of the footswitches and up to five foot controllers
(optional) can be connected to the MFC10, for additional sound-shaping possibilities.
1 Connect the MIDI IN terminal of the MFC10 to one of the MIDI OUT ter-
minals of the Tyros3 by using a MIDI cable.
2 Set the MFC10 to the normal mode and turn the [FUNCTION] lamp of
the MFC10 on.
3 Perform steps 1–4 on page 112 to call up the MFC10 Page.
4 Set the parameters on this display as desired.
On this display, two settings (below) can be made:
Each footswitch (F00–F29) on the MFC10 sends a note number to the
Tyros3, and the Tyros3 determines how it responds to (which function is
executed by) that note number.
Each foot controller on the MFC10 sends control change messages over a
specific control change number to the Tyros3, and the Tyros3 determines
how it responds to (which parameter is changed by) that control change
number.
4-1 Use the [A]/[E] buttons to select “FOOTSWITCH” or “FOOT CONTROL-
LER.”
4-2 Use the [2 ▲▼]/[3 ▲▼] buttons to select a footswitch number (F00–
F29) or a foot controller number (1–5) to which the function is
assigned.
Please note that a note number is assigned to each footswitch and a
control change number is assigned to each foot controller beforehand
and you cannot change the settings.

lers to the MFC10.

4-3 Use the [4 ▲▼]–[6 ▲▼] buttons to specify the function assigned to the
footswitch (actually the note number), or the function assigned to the
foot controller (actually the control change number). About the func-
tions which can be assigned to the footswitch or foot controller, refer to
page 110.
4-4 (Only for the FOOT CONTROLLER Setting) Determine the part to which
the function assigned to the foot controller is applied by using the [7
▲▼]/[8 ▲▼] buttons.
4-5 Use the [F]/[G] buttons to determine the MIDI port which is to be used
when communicating with the MFC10.
Here, the USB port (USB1, USB2) can be selected even though the
MFC10 does not have the USB connector. This is because the computer
can be used instead of the MFC10. (The computer can transmit the
data equivalent to the data the MFC10 transmits to the Tyros3. For
details, see the bottom of the page.)
4-6 Use the [H] (CH SELECT) button to determine the MIDI channel which
is to be used when communicating with the MFC10.
5 Press the [I] (SEND MFC10 SETUP) button to send the settings here
to the MFC10.
6 Disconnect the MIDI cable from the Tyros3 and the MFC10, and con-
nect the MIDI OUT terminal of the MFC10 to the MIDI IN terminal of the
Tyros3 according to the setting above by using a MIDI cable.
7 Operate the MFC10 to confirm whether you can properly control the
Tyros3 from the MFC10 as set in step 4.
8 Press the [EXIT] button to return to the MIDI template Selection dis-
play and save the settings above to the USER tab.
Actually the pair of the footswitch num-
ber and the note number, the pair of the
foot controller number and the control
change number, and the MIDI channel
for communication set above are trans-
mitted to the MFC10.

If you are not using an MFC10, you can have note numbers and control
change messages from any other appropriate MIDI device (such as a com-
puter, sequencer or master keyboard) control the Tyros3. Make sure to set
the appropriate channel in this display for control by the external device.

You can set or execute important media-related operations for the Tyros3. The word
“media” refers to both the USB storage device and installed hard disk drive.
MEDIA
The Tyros3 is capable of formatting an
installed hard disk having a cluster size
of less than 32 Kbyte, creating a single
partition only; multiple partitions cannot
be created. However, if the installed
hard disk has been pre-formatted into
several partitions on another instru-
ment, the Tyros3 can access up to four
partitions of the hard disk.
NOTE
[A]/[B] DEVICE LIST Selects the desired media which you want to check the remaining memory
(see “PROPERTY” below) or format the media (see the Owner’s Manual).
[1 ▲▼]/
[2 ▲▼]
HARD DISK SLEEP
TIME
The hard disk unit will go into a “sleep” mode after a specified time of inactiv-
ity, both to maximize the lifetime of the hard disk and to minimize unneces-
sary mechanical noise. This parameter determines the sleep time.
[3 ▲▼]/
[4 ▲▼]
SONG AUTO
OPEN
Turns the Song Auto Open function on or off. When this is set to “ON” and
the media selected in the Device List above is inserted, the Tyros3 automati-
cally calls up the first Song in the media.
[F] PROPERTY Opens the Property display of the media selected by [A]/[B] buttons. You can
check the amount of remaining memory on the media.
[H] FORMAT Formats the media selected by [A]/[B] buttons. Refer to the Owner’s Manual.
When using the Hard Disk Recorder function, make sure to set this to “NEVER.” If you set this
to something other than “NEVER,” the Hard Disk Recorder may not operate correctly.
NOTE
When you select a Song on a CD-ROM drive to be auto-opened, the Song may not be called
up automatically if the CD-ROM drive takes a lot of time to be recognized.
NOTE
The displayed remaining memory value is an approximate value.

However, they can be called up via panel operation by following the procedure below. 1 Press one of the PART SELECT button to which you want to call up the desired Voice. 2 Press one of the VOICE buttons to call up the Voice Selection display. 3 Press the [8 ▲] (UP) button to call up the Voice categories. 3 4 5 6 NOTE You can find the “Legacy” folder in this display. This folder contains previous Yamaha keyboards’ Voices (such as Tyros2, Tyros, etc.) for data compatibility with other models. 4 Press the [2 ▲] (P2) button to display Page 2. Press the desired [A]–[J] button to call up the Voice Selection display of GM/XG Voices, GM2 Voices, etc. Select the desired Voice. Tyros3 Reference Manual • 5 Voices – Playing the Keyboard – Selecting GM/XG or Other Voices from the Panel Effect-Related Settings Setting the Touch Sensitivity of the Keyboard You can adjust the touch response of the instrument (how the sound responds to the way you play the keys). The touch sensitivity type becomes the common setting for all Voices. 1 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] → [D] CONTROLLER → TAB [Q][W] KEYBOARD/PANEL 2 Voices – Playing the Keyboard – 1 NOTE Some Voices are purposely designed without touch sensitivity, in order to emulate the true characteristics of the actual instrument (for example, conventional organs, which have no touch response). Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the desired parameter: INITIAL TOUCH or AFTER TOUCH. 2 3 3 Use the [1 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons to specify the touch response. ● 1 INITIAL TOUCH [1 ▲▼]/ [2 ▲▼] TOUCH Determines the Initial Touch sensitivity setting. HARD 2: Requires strong playing to produce high volume. Best for players with a heavy touch. HARD 1: Requires moderately strong playing for higher volume. NORMAL: Standard touch response. SOFT 1: Produces high volume with moderate playing strength. SOFT 2: Produces relatively high volume even with light playing strength. Best for players with a light touch. [4 ▲▼] TOUCH OFF LEVEL Determines the fixed volume level when Touch is set to “OFF.” [5 ▲▼]– [8 ▲▼] LEFT–RIGHT3 Turns Initial Touch on or off for each keyboard part. ● 2 AFTER TOUCH [1 ▲▼]/ [2 ▲▼] TOUCH Determines the Aftertouch sensitivity setting. HARD: Relatively strong aftertouch pressure is needed to produce changes. NORMAL: Produces a fairly standard aftertouch response. SOFT: Allows you to produce relatively large changes with very light aftertouch pressure. [5 ▲▼]– [8 ▲▼] LEFT–RIGHT3 6 • Tyros3 Reference Manual Turns Aftertouch on or off for each keyboard part. Selecting the Harmony/Echo type You can select the desired Harmony/Echo effect from a variety of types. 1 2 NOTE When the [MONO] button is turned to on or you use the SA/SA2 Voices, the Harmony/Echo effect may not work properly. Turn the [HARMONY/ECHO] button on. Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] → [F] HARMONY/ECHO 3 Use the [1 ▲▼]–[3 ▲▼] buttons to select the Harmony/Echo type. The Harmony/Echo types are divided into the following groups, depending on the particular effect applied. Multi Assign Type This type applies a special effect to chords played in the right-hand section of the keyboard. Echo Types These types apply echo effects to notes played in the right-hand section of the keyboard in time with the currently set tempo. ● Harmony Types When one of the Harmony Types is selected, the Harmony effect is applied to the note played in the right-hand section of the keyboard according to the type selected above and the chord specified in the chord section of the keyboard shown below. Split Point Split Point RIGHT 1–3 Voices LEFT Voice and chord section for Harmony effect Chord section for Style playback and Harmony effect Split Point (for Style playback) Split Point (for the Voice) LEFT Voice RIGHT 1–3 Voices Chord section for Style playback and Harmony effect ● Multi Assign Type The Multi Assign effect automatically assigns notes played simultaneously on the right-hand section of the keyboard to separate parts (Voices). For example, if you play three consecutive notes, the first is played by the RIGHT 1 Voice, the second by the RIGHT 2 Voice, and the third by the RIGHT 3 Voice. The Multi Assign effect is not affected by the [ACMP] and LEFT part on/off status. NEXT PAGE Tyros3 Reference Manual • 7 1 Voices – Playing the Keyboard – Harmony Types These types apply the harmony effect to notes played in the right-hand section of the keyboard according to the chord specified in the left-hand section of the keyboard. (Note that the “1+5” and “Octave” settings are not affected by the chord.) ● Echo Types When one of the Echo Types is selected, the corresponding effect (echo, tremolo, trill) is applied to the note played in the right-hand section of the keyboard in time with the currently set tempo, regardless of the [ACMP] and the LEFT part on/off status. Keep in mind that Trill works when you hold down two notes on the keyboard simultaneously (last two notes if more than two notes are held), and it plays those notes alternately. 4 Use the [4 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons to select various Harmony/Echo settings. The available settings differ depending on the Harmony/Echo type. Voices – Playing the Keyboard – 1 [4 ▲▼] VOLUME This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi Assign.” It determines the level of the harmony/echo notes generated by the Harmony/ Echo effect. [5 ▲▼] SPEED This parameter is only available when Echo, Tremolo, or Trill is selected in Type above. It determines the speed of the Echo, Tremolo, and Trill effects. [6 ▲▼] ASSIGN This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi Assign.” This lets you determine the keyboard part via which the harmony/echo notes will be sounded. [7 ▲▼] CHORD NOTE ONLY This parameter is available when one of the Harmony Types is selected. When this is set to “ON,” the Harmony effect is applied only to the note (played in the right-hand section of the keyboard) that belongs to a chord played in the chord section of the keyboard. [8 ▲▼] TOUCH LIMIT This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi Assign.” It determines the lowest velocity value at which the harmony note will sound. This allows you to selectively apply the harmony by your playing strength, letting you create harmony accents in the melody. The harmony effect is applied when you play the key strongly (above the set value). 8 • Tyros3 Reference Manual Pitch-Related Settings Fine-tuning the Pitch of the Entire Instrument You can fine-tune the pitch of the entire instrument—useful when you play the Tyros3 along with other instruments or CD music. Please note that the Tune function does not affect the Drum Kit or SFX Kit Voices. 1 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] → [A] MASTER TUNE/SCALE TUNE → TAB [Q][W] MASTER TUNE 2 Use the [4 ▲▼]/[5 ▲▼] buttons to set the tuning, from 414.8–466.8 Hz. Press the both 4 or 5’s [▲] and [▼] buttons simultaneously to reset the value to the factory setting of 440.0 Hz. You can select various scales for playing in custom tunings for specific historical periods or music genres. 1 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] → [A] MASTER TUNE/SCALE TUNE → TAB [Q][W] SCALE TUNE 2 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the desired scale. 2 The tuning of each note for the currently selected scale is shown. ● Preset Scale types EQUAL The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each half-step evenly spaced in pitch. This is the most commonly used tuning in music today. PURE MAJOR, PURE MINOR These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, especially for triad chords (root, third, fifth). You can hear this best in actual vocal harmonies—such as choirs and a cappella singing. PYTHAGOREAN This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this tuning are slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads. MEAN-TONE This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making the major third interval more “in tune.” It was especially popular from the 16th century to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale. WERCKMEISTER, KIRNBERGER This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems, which were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and Pythagorean scales. The main feature of this scale is that each key has its own unique character. The scale was used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and even now it is often used when performing period music on the harpsichord. ARABIC1, ARABIC2 Use these tunings when playing Arabic music. NEXT PAGE Tyros3 Reference Manual • 9 Voices – Playing the Keyboard – Scale Tuning 1 3 Change the following settings as necessary. NOTE To register the Scale Tune settings to the Registration Memory, be sure to checkmark the SCALE item in the REGISTRATION MEMORY CONTENTS display. Voices – Playing the Keyboard – 1 [2 ▲▼] BASE NOTE Determines the base note for each scale. When the base note is changed, the pitch of the keyboard is transposed, yet maintains the original pitch relationship between the notes. [3 ▲▼]– [5 ▲▼] TUNE Select the desired note to be tuned by using the [3 ▲▼] button and tune it in cents by using the [4 ▲▼]/[5 ▲▼] buttons. [6 ▲▼]/ [7 ▲▼] PART SELECT [8 ▲▼] MARK ON/OFF Select the part to which the Scale Tune setting is applied by using the [6 ▲▼]/[7 ▲▼] buttons. Then press the [8 ▲] button to add a checkmark or press the [8 ▼] button to remove the checkmark. Changing the Part Assignment of the TRANSPOSE Buttons You can determine to which parts the TRANSPOSE [-]/[+] buttons are applied. 1 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] → [D] CONTROLLER → TAB [Q][W] KEYBOARD/PANEL 2 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select “4. TRANSPOSE ASSIGN.” 3 Press the [4 ▲▼]/[5 ▲▼] buttons to select the desired transpose type. KEYBOARD When this is selected, the TRANSPOSE [-]/[+] buttons affect the pitch of keyboard played Voices, Style playback (controlled by the performance in the chord section of the keyboard), and Multi Pad playback (when Chord Match is on, and left-hand chords are indicated)—but they do not affect Song playback. SONG When this is selected, the TRANSPOSE [-]/[+] buttons affect only the pitch of Song playback. MASTER When this is selected, the TRANSPOSE [-]/[+] buttons affect the overall pitch of the instrument. You can confirm the setting here by viewing the pop-up window called up via the TRANSPOSE [-]/[+] buttons. 10 • Tyros3 Reference Manual Editing Voices (Voice Set) The Tyros3 has a Voice Set feature that allows you to create your own Voices by editing some parameters of the existing Voices. Once you’ve created a Voice, you can save it as a User Voice to the USER drive or external devices for future recall. 1 Select the desired Voice (other than an Organ Flutes Voice).

Tyros3 Reference Manual • 11 Editable Parameters in the VOICE SET Displays The Voice Set parameters are organized into five different displays. The parameters in each display are described separately, below. NOTE The available parameters differ depending on the Voice. ■ COMMON Page [1 ▲▼] VOLUME Adjusts the volume of the current edited Voice. [2 ▲▼]/ [3 ▲▼] TOUCH SENSE Adjusts the touch sensitivity (velocity sensitivity), or how greatly the volume responds to your playing strength. 1 TOUCH SENSE DEPTH TOUCH SENSE OFFSET Changes to velocity curve according to VelDepth (with Offset set to 64) Changes to velocity curve according to VelOffset (with Depth set to 64) Actual Velocity for tone generator Actual Velocity for tone generator Offset=96 (+64) Offset=127 (+127) Depth=127 (twice) Voices – Playing the Keyboard – 127 127 Depth=64 (normal) 64 Offset=64 (normal) 64 Depends on offset Depth=32 (half) Offset=32 (-64) Depth=0 0 64 127 Received Velocity (Actual KeyOn speed) 0 64 Depends on offset 127 Received Velocity (Actual KeyOn speed) Offset=0 (-127) [2 ▲▼] DEPTH [3 ▲▼] OFFSET Determines the velocity sensitivity, or how much the level of the Voice changes in response to your playing strength (velocity). Determines the amount by which received velocities are adjusted for the actual velocity effect. [4 ▲▼]/ [5 ▲▼] PART OCTAVE Shifts the octave range of the edited Voice up or down in octaves. When the edited Voice is used as any of the RIGHT 1–3 parts, the R1/R2/R3 parameter is available; when the edited Voice is used as the LEFT part, the LEFT parameter is available. [6 ▲▼] MONO/POLY Determines whether the edited Voice is played monophonically or polyphonically. This setting can also be made from the VOICE EFFECT [MONO] button on the panel. [7 ▲▼] PORTAMENTO TIME Sets the portamento time (pitch transition time) when the edited Voice is set to “MONO” above. ■ CONTROLLER Page ● 1 MODULATION The MODULATION wheel can be used to modulate the parameters below as well as the pitch (vibrato). Here, you can set the degree to which the MODULATION wheel modulates each of the following parameters. [2 ▲▼] FILTER Determines the degree to which the MODULATION wheel modulates the Filter Cutoff Frequency. For details about the filter, see page 13. [3 ▲▼] AMPLITUDE Determines the degree to which the MODULATION wheel modulates the amplitude (volume). [5 ▲▼] LFO PMOD Determines the degree to which the MODULATION wheel modulates the pitch, or the vibrato effect. [6 ▲▼] LFO FMOD Determines the degree to which the MODULATION wheel modulates the Filter modulation, or the wah effect. [7 ▲▼] LFO AMOD Determines the degree to which the MODULATION wheel modulates the amplitude, or the tremolo effect. 12 • Tyros3 Reference Manual ● 2 AFTERTOUCH Aftertouch can be used to modulate the parameters below. Here, you can set the degree to which Aftertouch modulates each of the following parameters. [2 ▲▼] FILTER Determines the degree to which Aftertouch modulates the Filter Cutoff Frequency.

[7 ▲▼] LFO AMOD Determines the degree to which Aftertouch modulates the amplitude, or the tremolo effect. Voices – Playing the Keyboard – ■ SOUND Page ● FILTER Filter is a processor that changes the timbre or tone of a sound by either blocking or passing a specific frequency range. The parameters below determine the overall timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting a certain frequency range. In addition to making the sound either brighter or mellower, Filter can be used to produce electronic, synthesizer-like effects. [1 ▲▼] BRIGHTNESS Determines the cutoff frequency or effective frequency range of the filter (see diagram). Higher values result in a brighter sound. Volume Cutoff Frequency These frequencies are “passed” by the filter. [2 ▲▼] HARMONIC CONTENT Determines the emphasis given to the cutoff frequency (resonance), set in BRIGHTNESS above (see diagram). Higher values result in a more pronounced effect. Frequency (pitch) Cutoff range Volume Resonance Frequency (pitch) ● EG Level The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the level of the sound changes in time. This lets you reproduce many sound characteristics of natural acoustic instruments—such as the quick attack and decay of percussion sounds, or the long release of a sustained piano tone. Sustain Level ATTACK Key on 1 DECAY RELEASE Time Key off [3 ▲▼] ATTACK Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after the key is played. The lower the value, the quicker the attack. [4 ▲▼] DECAY Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain level (a slightly lower level than maximum). The lower the value, the quicker the decay. [5 ▲▼] RELEASE Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after the key is released. The lower the value, the quicker the decay. Tyros3 Reference Manual • 13 ● VIBRATO Pitch SPEED Vibrato is a quavering, vibrating sound effect that is produced by regularly modulating the pitch of the Voice. DEPTH DELAY Time Voices – Playing the Keyboard – 1 [6 ▲▼] DEPTH Determines the intensity of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings result in a more pronounced Vibrato. [7 ▲▼] SPEED Determines the speed of the Vibrato effect. [8 ▲▼] DELAY Determines the amount of time that elapses between the playing of a key and the start of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings increase the delay of the Vibrato onset. ■ EFFECT/EQ Page ● 1 REVERB DEPTH/CHORUS DEPTH/DSP DEPTH [1 ▲▼]/ [2 ▲▼] REVERB DEPTH Adjusts the reverb (page 94) depth. [3 ▲▼]/ [4 ▲▼] CHORUS DEPTH Adjusts the chorus (page 94) depth. [5 ▲▼] DSP ON/OFF Determines whether the DSP is on or off. This setting can also be made from the VOICE EFFECT [DSP] button on the panel. [6 ▲▼] DSP DEPTH Adjusts the DSP (page 94) depth. If you want to re-select the DSP type, you can do so in the “2 DSP” menu explained below. [7 ▲▼] PANEL SUSTAIN Determines the sustain level applied to the edited Voice when the VOICE EFFECT [SUSTAIN] button on the panel is turned on. [1 ▲▼]– [4 ▲▼] DSP TYPE Selects the DSP effect category and type. Select a type after selecting a category. [5 ▲▼]– [8 ▲▼] VARIATION Two variations are provided for each DSP type. Here, you can edit the VARIATION on/off status and variation’s parameter value setting. ● 2 DSP [5 ▲▼] ON/OFF PARAMETER [6 ▲▼] – [8 ▲▼] VALUE Turns the DSP Variation on or off for the selected Voice. This setting can also be made from the VOICE EFFECT [VARIATION] button on the panel. (This button is effective only when the [DSP] button is on.) Displays the variation parameter. (This differs depending on the effect type and cannot be changed.) Adjusts the value of the DSP variation parameter. ● 3 EQ Determines the Frequency and Gain of the Low and High EQ bands. For information about EQ, refer to page 96. ■ HARMONY Page Same as in the [FUNCTION] → [F] HARMONY/ECHO display. See “Selecting the Harmony/Echo type” on page 7. 14 • Tyros3 Reference Manual Disabling Automatic Selection of Voice Sets (Effects, etc.) Each Voice is linked to its default VOICE SET parameter settings.

Voice Creator allows you to import your own “Wave” (audio samples in WAV or AIFF format), and assign them to the keys— building completely new Voices with completely new sounds. Two types of Voices can be created: Normal Voice (see below) and Drum Voice (page 22). The creating procedure differs depending on the Voice type. Creating Normal Voices (Custom Voice) USB or HD Wave files (WAV or AIFF) r Assign to the Expansion Voice Bank (step 14) q Import to Element(s) (steps 1–9 below) USB, HD or USER Tyros3 e Save as a file (step 13) Element 8 NORMAL xxxxx.UVN Element 1 xxxxx.UVN Wave 1 Wave 2 w Edit each element and entire Voice (steps 10–12) 1 Prepare the audio data you’ll be using for the new Voice. NOTE Only WAV or AIFF format data can be used for the Voice Creator. Store the files in a USB storage device or hard disk drive. To take full advantage of the Voice Creator function, we recommend that you install optional DIMMs. Notes for Available Audio Files • This instrument cannot recognize the extension .aiff. When you use an AIFF file, change the extension to .aif. • Only use uncompressed files. • Audio data used for the Voice Creator can be of any sample rate or bit resolution. However, all audio data of a resolution other than 16-bit is automatically converted to 16-bit resolution after being loaded. • Only use Wave data having the following frequencies: 96000 Hz, 88000 Hz, 48000 Hz, 44100 Hz, 32000 Hz, 22050 Hz or 11025 Hz. Otherwise, the data may not play back at the correct pitch. • Voice Creator supports and recognizes loops in the audio data, letting you use up to one loop in each audio file. (Some sample libraries have loops already programmed into the data; you can also use audio editing software to program loops yourself. Keep in mind however, that multiple loops are not supported.) • Audio files recorded with the Hard Disk Recorder cannot be used as is with the Voice Creator. If you want to use a Hard Disk Recorder file, export the file in .wav data format. NEXT PAGE Tyros3 Reference Manual • 17 1 Voices – Playing the Keyboard – By importing Wave files, you can create your original Voices—not only create from scratch, but also add Waves to the existing Voices. A Voice consists of eight elements and you need to assign Wave files to each element (more than two Waves can be assigned to one element). The resulting Voice is called a Custom Voice and can be selected and played in the same way as all other Tyros3 Voices. 2 Turn the PART SELECT [RIGHT 1] button to on, then select a Voice.

[1 ▲▼] FIXED PITCH When this is set to ON, all keys will play the Wave sound at the same pitch. When set to OFF, the pitch of the Wave sound changes according to the key played, based around the original pitch (set at Center Key below). [2 ▲▼]/ [3 ▲▼] CENTER KEY This determines the key to which the original pitch of the sound is assigned. When Fixed Pitch (above) is set to OFF, keys below the Center Key play the sound progressively lower in pitch, while keys above play the sound progressively higher. Normally, you’ll want to make sure that this is the same as the original sound; for example, if the original pitch of the audio was at C3, set Center Key to C3 for best results. When Fixed Pitch (above) is set to ON, this has no effect. You can specify this setting directly from the keyboard by simultaneously holding down the [2 ▲▼] (DIRECT KEY) button and pressing the desired key on the keyboard.

[FUNCTION] → [C] STYLE SETTING/SPLIT POINT/CHORD FINGERING → TAB [Q][W] CHORD FINGERING 2 Press the [1 ▲▼]–[3 ▲▼] buttons to select a fingering. For information on each fingering type, see page 31. Chord Tutor If you know the name of a chord but don’t know how to play, you can have the instrument show you the notes to play. This is the Chord Tutor function. On the CHORD FINGERING display, specify the Chord Root and Chord Type by using the [6 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] button. The notes you need to play are shown in the display. NOTE Depending on the chord, some notes may be omitted. 30 • Tyros3 Reference Manual ● Chord Fingering Types SINGLE FINGER Makes it simple to produce orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minor-seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys on the Chord section of the keyboard. This type is available only for Style playback. The abbreviated chord fingerings described at right are used: C C7 For a major chord, press the root key only. Cm For a minor chord, simultaneously press the root key and a black key to its left. Cm 7 For a seventh chord, simultaneously press the root key and a white key to its left. For a minor-seventh chord, simultaneously press the root key and both a white and black key to its left. Automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord fingerings, so you can use either type of fingering without having to switch fingering types. FINGERED Lets you finger your own chords on the chord section of the keyboard, while the instrument supplies appropriately orchestrated rhythm, bass, and chord accompaniment in the selected Style. The Fingered type recognizes the various chord types which are listed on the Data List available at the Yamaha website and can be looked up using the Chord Tutor function on page 30. FINGERED ON BASS Accepts the same fingerings as Fingered, but the lowest note played in the Chord section of the keyboard is used as the bass note, allowing you to play “on bass” chords. (In the Fingered more, the root of the chord is always used as the bass note.) FULL KEYBOARD Detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way similar to Fingered, even if you split the notes between your left and right hands— for example, playing a bass note with your left hand and a chord with your right, or by playing a chord with your left hand and a melody note with your right. AI FINGERED Basically the same as Fingered, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). NOTE “AI” stands for “Artificial Intelligence.” AI FULL KEYBOARD When this advanced fingering type is engaged, the instrument will automatically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands. You don’t have to worry about specifying the Style chords. Although the AI Full Keyboard type is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for use with this feature. This type is similar to Full Keyboard, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). 9th, 11th and 13th chords cannot be played. This type is available only for Style playback. NOTE “AI” stands for “Artificial Intelligence.” Tyros3 Reference Manual • 31 2 Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – MULTI FINGER Style Playback Related Settings The Tyros3 has a variety of Style playback functions which can be accessed in the display below. 1 Call up the operation display.

In this condition—called “Stop Accompaniment”— any valid chord fingerings are recognized and the chord root/type are shown in the display. Here, you can determine whether the chord played in the chord section will sound or not in the Stop Accompaniment status. OFF: The chord played in the chord section will not sound. STYLE: The chord played in the chord section will sound via the Voices for the Pad part and the Bass channel of the selected Style. FIXED: The chord played in the chord section will sound via the specified Voice, regardless of the selected Style. NOTE When the selected Style contains MegaVoices, unexpected sounds may result when this is set to “STYLE.” NOTE When you record a song, the chord detected by playing the Stop Accompaniment can be recorded regardless of the setting here. Please note that both the Voice that is sounded and the chord data will be recorded when set to “STYLE,” and only the chord data will be recorded when set to “OFF” or “FIXED.” [2 ▲▼] OTS LINK TIMING This applies to the OTS Link function.

When the [SYNC STOP] button is turned on and this is set to a value other than “OFF,” this is automatically cancels the Synchro Stop function if you hold a chord for longer than the time set here. This conveniently resets Style playback control to normal, letting you release the keys and still have the Style play. In other words, if you release the keys sooner than the time set here, the Synchro Stop function works. [4 ▲▼] STYLE TOUCH Turns touch response for the Style playback on/off. When this is set to “ON,” the Style volume changes in response to your playing strength in the chord section of the keyboard. [5 ▲▼]/ [6 ▲▼] SECTION SET Determines the default section that is automatically called up when selecting different Styles (when Style playback is stopped). When set to “OFF” and Style playback is stopped, the active section is maintained even if the different Style is selected. When any of the MAIN A–D sections is not included in the Style data, the nearest section is automatically selected. For example, when MAIN D is not contained in the selected Style, MAIN C will be called up. [7 ▲▼] TEMPO This determines whether the tempo changes or not when you change Styles during Style playback. HOLD: The tempo setting of the previous Style is maintained. RESET: The tempo changes to that of the initial default tempo for the selected Style.

Tyros3 Reference Manual • 35 Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – 4 2 4 Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator) Sections Channels Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – 2 Styles are made up of fifteen different sections and each section has eight separate channels. With the Style Creator feature, you can create a Style by separately recording the channels, or by importing pattern data from other existing Styles. You can use one of the three different methods described below to create a Style. The created Style can also be edited. • Realtime Recording: This method lets you record the Style by simply playing the keyboard. See page 37. • Step Recording: This method lets you to enter each note individually.

Realtime Recording In the BASIC Page, you can create a single Style by recording the individual channels one-by-one, using realtime recording. Realtime Recording Characteristics—Loop Recording and Overdub Recording ● Loop Recording Style playback repeats the rhythm patterns of several measures in a “loop,” and Style recording is also done using loops. For example, if you start recording with a two-measure MAIN section, the two measures are repeatedly recorded. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition (loop), letting you record while hearing previously recorded material. 1 2 When you want to create a Style based on an existing Style, select the desired Style to serve as the basis for recording/editing before call up the Style Creator display. Call up the operation display. [DIGITAL RECORDING] → [B] STYLE CREATOR The BASIC Page is shown. 3 4 If you want to create a new Style from scratch, press the [C] (NEW STYLE) button to delete all channel’s data. Select the desired section (Intro, Main, Ending, etc.) for your new Style. NOTE First close the RECORD display by pressing the [EXIT] button. Then use the [3 ▲▼]/[4 ▲▼] buttons to select the section to be recorded. You can specify the sections to be recorded by using the Section buttons on the panel. Refer to step 3 on page 40. NOTE You cannot select INTRO 4 and ENDING 4 sections directly via the panel operation. 5-2 NOTE To call up the RECORD display again, press the [F] (REC CH) button. 4 5 5-1 Use the [5 ▲▼]/[6 ▲▼] buttons to determine the length (number of measures) of the selected section, then press the [D] (EXECUTE) button to actually enter the specified length. NEXT PAGE Tyros3 Reference Manual • 37 2 Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – ● Overdub Recording This method records new material to a channel already containing recorded data, without deleting the original data. In Style recording, the recorded data is not deleted, except when using functions such as Rhythm Clear and Delete (page 38). For example, if you start recording with a two-measure MAIN section, the two measures are repeated many times. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition, letting you overdub new material to the loop while hearing previously recorded material. When creating a Style based on an existing internal Style, overdub recording is applied only to the rhythm channels. For all other channels (except rhythm), you need to delete the original data before recording. 6 Specify the channel to be recorded by simultaneously holding down the [F] (REC CH) button and pressing the appropriate numbered button, [1 ▼]–[8 ▼]. To cancel the selection, press the corresponding [1 ▼]–[8 ▼] button again. 6 7 Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – 2 7 Call up the Voice Selection display by using the [1 ▲]–[8 ▲] buttons and select the desired Voice for the corresponding recording channels. Press the [EXIT] button to close the Voice Selection display. Recordable Voices • RHY1 channel: Any except your original Organ Flute, SA and SA2 Voices are recordable. • RHY2 channel: Only drum/SFX kits are recordable. • BASS–PHR2 channels: Any except your original Organ Flute, drum/SFX kits, SA and SA2 Voices are recordable. 8 If necessary, delete a channel by simultaneously holding down the [J] (DELETE) button and pressing the appropriate numbered button, [1 ▲]–[8 ▲]. You can cancel the deletion by pressing the same numbered button again before releasing your finger from the [J] button. 9 Start recording by pressing the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button. Playback of the specified section starts. Since the accompaniment pattern plays back repeatedly in a loop, you can record individual sounds one by one, listening to the previous sounds as they play. For information on recording to channels other than the rhythm channels (RHY1, 2), refer to the section “Rules when recording non-rhythm channels” (page 39). Deleting recorded notes in the rhythm channel When you are recording the rhythm channel (RHY1 or RHY2), you can delete a specific instrument sound by simultaneously holding down the [E] (RHY CLEAR) button and pressing the appropriate key on the keyboard. Muting specific channels You can turn off the desired channels by pressing the corresponding [1 ▼]– [8 ▼] buttons. NEXT PAGE 38 • Tyros3 Reference Manual NOTE Preset Organ Flute Voice can be recorded to the RHY1 and BASS–PHR2 channels. NOTE When recording channels BASS–PHR2 based on the existing Style, you have to delete the original data before recording. 10 11 To continue recording with another channel, repeat steps 6 –9. Stop recording by pressing the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button. 12 Press the [EXIT] button to close the RECORD display. 13 Press the [I] (SAVE) button to execute the Save operation. CAUTION Rules when recording non-rhythm channels • Use only the CM7 scale tones when recording the BASS and PHRASE channels (i.e., C, D, E, G, A, and B). • Use only the chord tones when recording the CHORD and PAD channels (i.e., C, E, G, and B). The edited Style will be lost if you change to another Style or turn the power to the instrument off without executing the Save operation. 2 C R C C = Chord note C, R = Recommended note Using the data recorded here, the auto accompaniment (Style playback) is appropriately converted depending on the chord changes you make during your performance. The chord which forms the basis for this note conversion is called the Source Chord, and is set by default to CM7 (as in the example illustration above). You can change the Source Chord (its root and type) from the PARAMETER display on page 45. Keep in mind that when you change the Source Chord from the default CM7 to another chord, the chord notes and recommended notes will also change. For details on chord notes and recommended notes, see page 46. NOTE For the INTRO and ENDING sections, any appropriate chord or chord progression can be used. NOTE If you want to record the pattern with a Source Chord other than CM7, set the PLAY ROOT and PLAY CHORD parameters on the PARAMETER Page (page 46) before recording. Tyros3 Reference Manual • 39 Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – C R C Step Recording In the EDIT Page, you can record notes with absolutely precise timing. This Step Recording procedure is essentially the same as that for Song Recording (page 56) with the exception of the points listed below: • In the Song Creator, the End Mark position can be changed freely; in the Style Creator, it cannot be changed. This is because the length of the Style is automatically fixed, depending on the selected section. For example, if you create a Style based on a section of four measures length, the End Mark position is automatically set to the end of the fourth measure, and cannot be changed in the Step Recording display. • Recording channels can be changed in the Song Creator 1-16 tab display; however, they cannot be changed in the Style Creator. Select the recording channel in the BASIC tab display. • In the Style Creator, the channel data can be entered and System Exclusive data can be edited (delete, copy, or move). You can switch between the two by pressing the [F] button. However, Chord, Lyrics, and System Exclusive data cannot be entered.

The Groove settings are applied to all channels of the selected Style. [1 ▲▼]/ [2 ▲▼] ORIGINAL BEAT Specifies the beats to which Groove timing is to be applied. In other words, if “8 Beat” is selected, Groove timing is applied to the 8th notes; if “12 Beat” is selected, Groove timing is applied to 8th-note triplets. [3 ▲▼]/ [4 ▲▼] BEAT CONVERTER Actually changes the timing of the beats (specified in the ORIGINAL BEAT parameter above) to the selected value. For example, when ORIGINAL BEAT is set to “8 Beat” and BEAT CONVERTER is set to “12,” all 8th notes in the section are shifted to 8th-note triplet timing. The “16A” and “16B” Beat Converter which appear when ORIGINAL BEAT is set to “12 Beat” are variations on a basic 16th-note setting. [5 ▲▼]/ [6 ▲▼] SWING Produces a “swing” feel by shifting the timing of the back beats, depending on the ORIGINAL BEAT parameter above. For example, if the specified ORIGINAL BEAT value is “8 Beat”, the Swing parameter will selectively delay the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats of each measure to create a swing feel. The settings “A” through “E” produce different degrees of swing, with “A” being the most subtle and “E” being the most pronounced. [7 ▲▼]/ [8 ▲▼] FINE Selects a variety of Groove “templates” to be applied to the selected section. The “PUSH” settings cause certain beats to be played early, while “HEAVY” settings delay the timing of certain beats. The numbered settings (2, 3, 4, 5) determine which beats are to be affected. All beats up to the specified beat— but not including the first beat—will be played early or delayed (for example, the 2nd and 3rd beats, if “3” is selected). In all cases, “A” types produce minimum effect, “B” types produce medium effect, and “C” types produce maximum effect. NEXT PAGE 42 • Tyros3 Reference Manual ● 2 DYNAMICS This changes the velocity/volume (or accent) of certain notes in the Style playback. The Dynamics settings are applied to each channel or all channels of the selected Style. CHANNEL Selects the desired channel (part) to which Dynamics is to be applied. [3 ▲▼]/ [4 ▲▼] ACCENT TYPE Determines the type of accent applied—in other words, which notes in the part(s) are emphasized with the Dynamics settings. [6 ▲▼] STRENGTH Determines how strongly the selected Accent Type (above) will be applied. The higher the value, the stronger the effect. [7 ▲▼] EXPAND/COMP. Expands or compresses the range of velocity values. Values higher than 100% expand the dynamic range, while values lower than 100% compress it.

By using the Style Creator, you can take advantage of the power of the SFF format and freely create your own Styles. The chart shown below indicates the process by which the Style is played back. (This does not apply to the rhythm track.) These parameters can be set via the Style Creator feature, in the PARAMETER Page. Source Pattern settings—SOURCE (PLAY) ROOT/CHORD (page 46) There are a variety of possibilities for Style playback notes, depending on the particular root note and chord type that are selected. The Style data is appropriately converted depending on the chord changes you make during your performance. This basic Style data that you create with the Style Creator is referred to as the “Source Pattern.” ➔ Chord change via the chord section of the keyboard. Note Transposition settings—NTR and NTT (page 46) This parameter group features two parameters that determine how the notes of the Source Pattern are to be converted in response to chord changes. 2 The Tyros3’s Styles are compatible with SFF GE—an enhanced format of the original SFF with especially rich, expressive guitar parts. 1 In the PARAMETER Page, use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the edit menu.

Tyros3 Reference Manual • 45 Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – ➔ Other settings—HIGH KEY, NOTE LIMIT and RTR (page 48) Using the parameters of this group, you can fine-tune how Style playback responds to the chords you play. For example, the Note Limit parameter allows you to have the Voices of the Style sound as realistic as possible by shifting the pitch to an authentic range—ensuring that no notes sound outside the natural range of the actual instrument (e.g., high bass sounds or low piccolo sounds). ● 1 SOURCE (PLAY) ROOT/CHORD NOTE These settings determine the original key of the source pattern (i.e., the key used when recording the pattern). The default setting of CM7 (with a Source Root of “C” and a Chord Type of “M7”), is automatically selected whenever the preset data is deleted prior to recording a new Style, regardless of the Source Root and Chord included in the preset data. When you change Source Root/Chord from the default CM7 to another chord, the chord notes and recommended notes will also change, depending on the newly selected chord type. When NTR is set to “Root Fixed” and NTT is set to “Bypass,” the “Source Root” and “Source Chord” parameters are changed to “Play Root” and “Play Chord,” respectively. In this case, you can change chords and hear the resulting sound for all channels. NOTE This is not applied when the NTR is set to GUITAR.

When the root note is transposed, the pitch relationship between notes is maintained. For example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C become F3, A3 and C4 when they are transposed to F. Use this setting for channels that contain melody lines. The note is kept as close as possible to the previous note range. For example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C become C3, F3 and A3 when they are transposed to F. Use this setting for channels that contain chord parts. When playing a C major chord. When playing an F major chord. When playing a C major chord. When playing an F major chord. This is exclusively for transposing guitar accompaniment. Notes are transposed to approximate the chords played with natural guitar fingering. [5 ▲▼]– [7 ▲▼] NTT (Note Transposition Table) Sets the note transposition table for the source pattern. Refer to the list on page 47. [8 ▲▼] NTT BASS ON/ OFF The channel for which this is set to ON will be played back by the bass root note, when the on-bass chord is recognized by the instrument. When the NTR is set to GUITAR and this parameter is set to ON, only the note which is assigned to bass will be played back by the bass root note. 46 • Tyros3 Reference Manual NTT (Note Transposition Table) When the NTR is set to ROOT TRANS or ROOT FIXED BYPASS When NTR is set to ROOT FIXED, the transposition table used does not do any note conversion. When NTR is set to ROOT TRANS, the table used only converts the notes by maintaining the pitch relationship between notes. MELODY Suitable for melody line transposition. Use this for melody channels such as Phrase 1 and Phrase 2. CHORD Suitable for chordal parts transposition. Use this for the Chord 1 and Chord 2 channels, especially when they contain piano or guitar-like chordal parts. MELODIC MINOR When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third interval in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third interval is raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for melody channels of Sections which respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings In addition to the Melodic Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source Pattern. HARMONIC MINOR When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third and sixth intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third and flatted sixth intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings. HARMONIC MINOR 5th In addition to the Harmonic Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern. NATURAL MINOR When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third, sixth and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third, flatted sixth and flatted seventh intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to a Major/minor chord such as Intros and Endings. NATURAL MINOR 5th In addition to the Natural Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern. DORIAN When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone.

Tyros3 Reference Manual • 63 Songs – Recording Your Performances and Creating Songs – 2 ● 1 QUANTIZE The Quantize function allows you to align the timing of all the notes in a channel. For example, if you record the musical phrase shown at right, you may not play it with absolute precision, and your performance may have been slightly ahead of or behind the precise timing. Quantize is a convenient way of correcting for this. [2 ▲▼]/ [3 ▲▼] CHANNEL Determines which MIDI channel in the Song data is to be quantized. [4 ▲▼]– [6 ▲▼] SIZE Selects the quantize size (resolution). For optimum results, you should set the Quantize size to the shortest note value in the channel. For example, if eighth notes are the shortest in the channel, you should use eighth note as the Quantize size. Songs – Recording Your Performances and Creating Songs – 3 After 1/8 note quantization Settings: 1/4 note 1/8 note 1/16 note 1/32 note 1/16 note+ 1/8 note triplet* 1/4 note triplet 1/8 note triplet 1/16 note triplet 1/8 note+ 1/8 note triplet* 1/16 note+ 1/16 note triplet* The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally convenient, since they allow you to quantize two different note values at the same time. For example, when the straight eighth notes and eighth notes triplet are contained in the same channel, if you quantize by the straight eighth notes, all notes in the channel are quantized to straight eighth notes—completely eliminating any triplet feel. However, if you use the eighth note + eighth note triplet setting, both the straight and triplet notes will be quantized correctly. [7 ▲▼]/ [8 ▲▼] STRENGTH Determines how strongly the notes will be quantized. A setting of 100% produces exact timing. If a value less than 100% is selected, notes will be moved toward the specified quantization beats according to the specified percentage. Applying less than 100% quantization lets you preserve some of the “human” feel in the recording.

For basic information on using the Markers for jump playback and loop playback, refer to the Owner’s Manual. ● Jump Markers The Markers explained in the Owner’s Manual are also called “Jump Markers.” In the Event List display, they are indicated as “SPJ-01”–”SPJ-04” (page 67). In the Event List, they can be moved freely to other positions and can even copied to create identical Marker numbers at other positions. When the same Marker number is contained at different locations in the Song, the latest occurring one is used as a “Loop End Marker” (below). ● Loop End Marker Loop End Markers can be used for putting additional Markers in Song data, providing even greater versatility. Creating a Loop End Marker is done within the Event List (and not with the [SP 1]–[SP 4] buttons on the panel), by simply copying one “SPJ” Jump Marker event to another position in the Song. For basic information on loop playback between successive Jump Markers, refer to the Owner’s Manual. The examples below show how Loop End Markers can be used in Song playback. 3 Example 1 [SPJ-01] [SPJ-01] [SPJ-02] [SPJ-03] [SPJ-04] End of the song • If the Song is playing back between the two SPJ-01 points, turning on [LOOP] will result in a playback loop between those points. • If the Song is playing back between the second SPJ-01 and SPJ-02 and [LOOP] is turned on, playback jumps back to the first SPJ-01 and loops between two SPJ-01 points. Example 2 Top of the song [SPJ-01] [SPJ-02] [SPJ-01] [SPJ-03] [SPJ-04] End of the song • If the Song is playing back between SPJ-02 and the second SPJ-01, turning on [LOOP] will result in a playback loop between those points. • If the [LOOP] button is turned on while the Song is playing back between the top of the Song and SPJ-02, playback will loop between SPJ-01 and SPJ-02. • If the Song is playing back between the second SPJ-01 and SPJ-03 and [LOOP] is turned on, playback jumps back to SPJ-02 and loops between SPJ-02 and the second SPJ-01 (Loop End Marker). In the examples above, the actual data of the Loop End Marker is identical to the event it was copied from—only the location of the copied Marker provides it with this different function. In Song playback, the markers formatted as “SPJ-xxxxx” (xxxxx: any character except 01–04 and any number of letters is OK) are handled as Loop End Markers. Since the Event List in the Song Creator function does not let you freely name Markers, the instructions above are recommended for creating new Markers. However, with sequence software on a computer, you can create new Markers and assign appropriate names to them. By naming Markers in this way, you can easily distinguish between Loop End Markers and Jump Markers in the Event List. NOTE Loop playback problems may occur if successive Markers are too close to one another. NOTE When the effect settings of the jump destination (the position you’re jumping to) differ from those at the jump source, glitches or drop-outs in the sound may result. This is because of limitations in the effect processors of the Tyros3. NOTE When using the Guide function (page 53) with jump playback, keep in mind that the Guide indication may not be able to stay in time with the jumps.

The benefits of this feature are many. For example, you can: • Use existing audio material (commercially available samples, loops, sound effects, etc.) on the Tyros3. • Record your performance to another device (such as on a computer or audio sequencer), add vocals and other instruments as desired, then import the finished audio to the Tyros3. • Export a recording made on the Tyros3 to a computer-based audio editor—giving you more comprehensive editing features and greater editing convenience—then import the audio back to the Tyros3. (See “Exporting an Audio File” on the Owner’s Manual.) Files which can be imported must have these characteristics: • Stereo Wave data • 44.1 kHz sample rate • 16-bit resolution • A length of less than or equal to 80 minutes 1 2 Insert the USB storage device (or connecting cable) to the USB TO DEVICE terminal.

VOLUME Page REC MODE Page (4) (1) (3) (2) (1) Normalize Normalize raises the volume of the recorded audio to the optimum level. Use this to make the recorded audio as loud as possible, without distortion. Technically, this operation scans the recorded file for the highest level, then raises the volume of the entire file so that the highest peak is set to the maximum, non-distorting level. Normalization is calculated for the loudest signal found in either channel of the stereo recording and the same gain is applied to both channels. 1 2 Recording Audio with the Hard Disk Recorder 7 In the VOLUME Page, press the [A] (NORMALIZE MAIN) button or [B] (NORMALIZE SUB) button. At the prompt, press the [G] (OK) button to start normalizing the selected track. To cancel the operation, press the [H] (CANCEL) button. NOTE Normalize can only be applied to a file that has been saved. If you haven’t saved the recorded file yet, the display prompts you to save it before using Normalize. (2) Adjusting the Volume In the VOLUME Page, use the [3 ▲▼]/[4 ▲▼] buttons or sliders to adjust the output level of Main/Sub tracks. NOTE To control overall volume of the audio file, press the [BALANCE] button once or twice to call up the BALANCE (2/2) display, then use the [5] slider.

NOTE Re-recording of the data repeatedly will result in deterioration of the sound quality. NORMAL REC / NORMAL REC (PLUS PLAYBACK) You can replace the whole audio data of a track by NORMAL or mix the audio data with the previous one by NORMAL REC (PLUS PLAYBACK). The NORMAL REC (PLUS PLAYBACK) method does not add any tracks but simply mixes the new recording to the existing data. After stopping recording, the data will be erased from the stop point. 1 2 3 Press the HARD DISK RECORDER [SELECT] button and select the recorded file to be re-recorded from the AUDIO display. NOTE Since you will be overdubbing parts onto this audio, it’s best to keep the first recording simple. For example, you may want to record just a rhythm pattern (such as by playing back a Style) or a simple bass riff over which you can add other parts. Press the HARD DISK RECORDER [SETTING] button, then use the TAB [Q][W] buttons to select the REC MODE tab. Use the [C] (TRACK SELECT) button to select the track to be rerecorded. 4 3 Recording Audio with the Hard Disk Recorder 4 7 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select a recording method. • Replace the whole data: NORMAL REC • Mix the recorded data: NORMAL REC (PLUS PLAYBACK) 5 If you select “NORMAL REC (PLUS PLAYBACK),” play back the recorded audio and practice the part that you want to overdub while the audio is playing. Change the volume settings if necessary. If you wish to add a keyboard-played Voice from the Tyros3, select the desired Voice. If you wish to record your singing voice or an external instrument, connect a microphone or instrument and make the appropriate settings. Adjust the HDR Track Play and Rec Monitor levels here as desired. 6 Press the [REC] button to enable recording. The display automatically switches to the REC MODE Page. 7 Press the [PLAY/PAUSE] button to start recording. Play the keyboard (or sing, etc.) and record your performance. 8 NOTE The playback sound of the other (not rerecorded) track is not recorded. When finished recording, press the [STOP] button. After stopping recording, the data will be erased from the stop point. NEXT PAGE Tyros3 Reference Manual • 83 9 To hear your new recording, press the [PLAY/PAUSE] button. If you’ve made a mistake or you’re not completely satisfied with your performance, you can undo the operation by pressing [H] (UNDO) button on the REC MODE page. 10 Press the [I] (SAVE) button to save the recording. NOTE The Hard Disk Recorder automatically reduces the level of the previous track by a certain, slight amount to accommodate the new recording. This is done to minimize possible distortion. You can use the Normalize effect to maximize the volume of the overall sound. For details, see page 82. CAUTION Keep in mind that even if you neglect to save the recorded data in this step, the originally recorded file (before re-recording) will still remain on the hard disk drive. PUNCH IN OUT / PUNCH IN OUT (MERGE) This method of recording can only be used on an existing recording. It allows you to re-record over a specific part of the already-recorded material. You can replace the original part with the new recording by PUNCH IN/OUT, or keeping the original and mixing it with the new by PUNCH IN/OUT (MERGE). This lets you either correct a mistake in the recording or overdub new parts onto the original recording. Keep in mind that the parts before and after the Punch In/Out section are not recorded over and remain as the original data—they play back normally to guide you in and out of the recording.

This affects the overall sound of the instrument. [F] EDIT For editing the Master EQ. See page 97. [D]/[I] EQ HIGH Boosts or attenuates the high EQ band for each part. [E]/[J] EQ LOW Boosts or attenuates the low EQ band for each part. Equalizer (also called “EQ”) is a sound processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands that can be boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall frequency response. Usually an equalizer is used to correct the sound from speakers to match the special character of the room. For example, you can cut some of the low range frequencies when playing in large spaces where the sound is too “boomy,” or boost the high frequencies in rooms and close spaces where the sound is relatively “dead” and free of echoes. The Tyros3 possesses a high grade five-band digital EQ. With this function, a final effect—tone control—can be added to the output of your instrument. You can select one of the five preset EQ settings in the EQ display. You can even create your own custom EQ settings by adjusting the frequency bands, and save the settings to one of two User Master EQ types.

However, if you turn the power off without exiting from this display, the settings will be lost. ● 3BAND EQ (selected by [A] or [F] button) EQ (Equalizer) is a processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands which can be boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall frequency response. The Tyros3 features a high-grade three-band (LOW, MID and HIGH) digital equalizer function for the microphone sound. [1 ▲▼]/ [3 ▲▼]/ [5 ▲▼] Hz Adjusts the center frequency of the corresponding band. [2 ▲▼]/ [4 ▲▼]/ [6 ▲▼] dB Boosts or cuts the level of the corresponding band by up to 12 dB. ● NOISE GATE (selected by [C] or [H] button) This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls below a specified level. This effectively cuts off extraneous noise, allowing the desired signal (vocal, etc.) to pass. [1 ▲▼] SW (Switch) This turns Noise Gate on or off. [2 ▲▼] TH. (Threshold) This adjusts the input level at which the gate begins to open. ● COMPRESSOR (selected by [C] or [H] button) [3 ▲▼] SW (Switch) This turns Compressor on or off. [4 ▲▼] TH. (Threshold) This adjusts the input level at which compression begins to be applied. [5 ▲▼] RATIO This adjusts the compression ratio. [6 ▲▼] OUT Adjusts the final output level. ● MIC MUTE (selected by [C] or [H] button) [8 ▲▼] MIC MUTE When set to ON, the microphone sound is turned off. ● MIC VOLUME (selected by [E] or [J] buttons) [8 ▲▼] MIC VOLUME Adjusts the output volume of the microphone sound. Connections – Using Tyros3 with Other Devices – This effect holds down the output when the input signal from the microphone exceeds a specified level. This is especially useful for smoothing out vocals that have widely varying dynamics. It effectively “compresses” the signal, making soft parts louder and loud parts softer. 10 Tyros3 Reference Manual • 103 ● VOCAL HARMONY CONTROL (selected by [E] or [J] button) The following parameters determine how the Vocal Harmony is controlled. Connections – Using Tyros3 with Other Devices – [1 ▲▼]– [3 ▲▼] 10 VOCODER CONTROL [1 ▲▼] MUTE/PLAY [2 ▲▼] OFF/1–16 [3 ▲▼] KBD (Keyboard) The Vocal Harmony effect in Vocoder mode (below) is controlled by note data—the notes you play on the keyboard and/or the notes of the song data. This parameter lets you determine which notes are used to control the harmony. When set to “MUTE,” the channel selected below (to control Harmony) is muted (turned off) during keyboard performance or song playback. When set to “OFF,” song data control over harmony is turned off. When set to one of the values 1–16, note data (played from a Song on the Tyros3 or external MIDI sequencer) contained on the corresponding channel is used to control the harmony. OFF: Keyboard control over harmony is turned off. UPPER: Notes played to the right of the split point control the harmony. LOWER: Notes played to the left of the split point control the harmony. [4 ▲▼] BAL. (Balance) This lets you set the balance between the lead vocal (your own voice) and Vocal Harmony. Raising this value increases the volume of the Vocal Harmony and decreases that of the lead vocal. When this is set to L<H63 (L: Lead Vocal, H: Vocal Harmony), only the Vocal Harmony is output; when it is set to L63>H, only the lead vocal is output. [5 ▲▼] MODE (Vocal Harmony mode) All of the Vocal Harmony types fall into one of three modes, which produce harmony in different ways. The harmony effect is dependent on the selected Vocal Harmony mode, and this parameter determines how the harmony is applied to your voice. The three modes are described below. AUTO: When the [ACMP] or [LEFT] is set to ON and if chord data exists in the Song, the mode is automatically set to CHORDAL. In all other cases, the mode is set to VOCODER. VOCOD (Vocoder): The harmony notes are determined by the notes you play on the keyboard and/or Song data. You can specify whether the Vocoder effect is controlled by your keyboard performance or by the Song data (VOCODER CONTROL parameter above). CHORD (Chordal): The harmony notes are determined by the following three types of chord: chords played in the chord section of the keyboard (with the [ACMP] turned on), chords played in the LEFT Voice section of the keyboard (with the [ACMP] turned off and the [LEFT] turned on), and chords contained in Song data for controlling the harmony. (Not available if the Song does not contain any chord data.) [6 ▲▼] CHORD The following parameters determine which data in a recorded Song is used for chord detection. OFF: Chords are not detected from the Song data. XF: Chords of XF format are used for the Vocal Harmony. 1–16: Chords are detected from note data in the specified Song channel. [7 ▲▼] VOCAL RANGE Set this to obtain the most natural vocal harmony, depending on your voice. NORM.: Normal setting. LOW: Setting for lower voice. This setting is also appropriate for growling and shouting. HIGH: Setting for higher voice. This setting is also appropriate for singing close to the microphone. 104 • Tyros3 Reference Manual Talk Settings This function gives you special settings for making announcements between songs, separate from the settings for your singing performance. 1 Call up the operation display.

Off: The gender of the harmony sound is not changed. Auto: The gender of the harmony sound is changed automatically. LEAD GENDER TYPE Determines whether and how the gender of the lead vocal sound (i.e., the direct microphone sound) will be changed. Please note that the number of harmony notes differs depending on the selected type. When set to Off, three harmony notes are produced. Other settings produce two harmony notes. Off: No gender change occurs. Unison: No gender change occurs. You can adjust the LEAD GENDER DEPTH below. Male: The corresponding gender change is applied to the lead vocal. Female: The corresponding gender change is applied to the lead vocal. Adjusts the degree of lead vocal gender change. This is available when the LEAD GENDER TYPE above is set to other than Off. The higher the value, the more “feminine” the harmony voice becomes. The lower the value, the more “masculine” the voice. LEAD PITCH CORRECT This parameter is only effective when the LEAD GENDER TYPE above is set to other than Off. When Smooth or Hard is selected, the pitch of the lead vocal is shifted in precise semitone steps. UPPER GENDER THRESHOLD Gender change will occur when the harmony pitch reaches or exceeds the specified number of semitones above the lead vocal pitch. LOWER GENDER THRESHOLD Gender change will occur when the harmony pitch reaches or exceeds the specified number of semitones below the lead vocal pitch. UPPER GENDER DEPTH Adjusts the degree of gender change applied to harmony notes higher than the UPPER GENDER THRESHOLD. The higher the value, the more “feminine” the harmony voice becomes. The lower the value, the more “masculine” the voice. LOWER GENDER DEPTH Adjusts the degree of gender change applied to harmony notes lower than the LOWER GENDER THRESHOLD. The higher the value, the more “feminine” the harmony voice becomes. The lower the value, the more “masculine” the voice. VIBRATO DEPTH Sets the depth of vibrato applied to the harmony sound. Also affects the lead vocal sound when the LEAD GENDER TYPE above is set to other than Off. VIBRATO RATE Sets the speed of the vibrato effect. Also affects the lead vocal sound when the LEAD GENDER TYPE above is set to other than Off. VIBRATO DELAY Specifies the length of the delay before the vibrato effect begins when a note is produced. Higher values result in a longer delay. Tyros3 Reference Manual • 107 Connections – Using Tyros3 with Other Devices – LEAD GENDER DEPTH 10 HARMONY 1/2/3 VOLUME Sets the volume of the first (lowest), second, and third (highest) harmony note. HARMONY 1/2/3 PAN Specifies the stereo (pan) position of the first (lowest), second, and third (highest) harmony note. Random: The stereo position of the sound will change randomly whenever the keyboard is played. This is effective when the Harmony mode (page 104) is set to “VOCODER” or “CHODAL.” L63>R–C–L<R63: A setting of L63>R pans the sound hard left, while C is at center, and L<R63 is at hard right. Detunes the first (lowest), second, and third (highest) harmony note by the specified number of cents. PITCH TO NOTE When this is set to “ON,” you can “play” the Voices of the Tyros3 with your voice. (The Tyros3 tracks the pitch of your voice and converts it to note data for the tone generator. Keep in mind, however, that dynamic changes in your voice do not affect the volume of the tone generator.)

KBD & STYLE Basically the same as “ALL PARTS” with the exception of how keyboard parts are managed. The right-hand parts are handled as a “UPPER” instead of RIGHT 1–3 and the left-hand part is handled as a “LOWER.” Master KBD1 In this setting, the Tyros3 functions as a “master” keyboard, playing and controlling one or more connected tone generators or other devices (such as a computer/sequencer). Master KBD2 Basically the same as “Master KBD1” above, with the exception that Aftertouch messages are not transmitted. Clock Ext. A Playback or recording (Song, Style, Multi Pad, etc.) synchronizes with an external MIDI clock instead of the Tyros3’s internal clock. This template should be used when you wish to set the tempo on the MIDI device connected to the Tyros3. Playback or recording of the Tyros3 synchronizes with an external clock received via MIDI A. MIDI Accord 1 MIDI accordions allow you to transmit MIDI data and play connected tone generators from the keyboard and bass/chord buttons of the accordion. This template lets you play melodies from the keyboard and control Style playback on the Tyros3 with the left-hand buttons.

Connections – Using Tyros3 with Other Devices – ALL PARTS 10 Tyros3 Reference Manual • 113 MIDI SYSTEM Settings The explanations here apply to the SYSTEM Page in step 4 on page 112. Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the parameters (below), then set the ON/OFF status by using the [1 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons. Connections – Using Tyros3 with Other Devices – ■ 1 Local Control 10 Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When Local Control is set to “ON,” the keyboard of the Tyros3 controls its own (local) internal tone generator, allowing the internal Voices to be played directly from the keyboard. If you set Local to “OFF,” the keyboard and controllers are internally disconnected from the Tyros3’s tone generator section so that no sound is output when you play the keyboard or use the controllers. For example, this allows you to use an external MIDI sequencer to play the Tyros3’s internal Voices, and use the Tyros3 keyboard to record notes to the external sequencer and/or play an external tone generator. ■ 2 Clock setting, etc. ● CLOCK Determines whether the Tyros3 is controlled by its own internal clock or a MIDI clock signal received from an external device. INTERNAL is the normal Clock setting when the Tyros3 is being used alone or as a master keyboard to control external devices. If you are using the Tyros3 with an external sequencer, MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and you want to synchronize it to that device, set this parameter to the appropriate setting: MIDI A, MIDI B, USB 1, or USB 2. In this case, make sure that the external device is connected properly (e.g., to the Tyros3’s MIDI IN terminal), and that it is properly transmitting a MIDI clock signal. ● TRANSMIT CLOCK Turns MIDI clock (F8) transmission on or off. When set to OFF, no MIDI clock or Start/Stop data is transmitted even if a Song or Style is played back. ● RECEIVE TRANSPOSE Determines whether or not the Tyros3’s transpose setting is applied to the note events received by the Tyros3 via MIDI. ● START/STOP Determines whether incoming FA (start) and FC (stop) messages affect Song or Style playback. ■ 3 MESSAGE SW (Message Switch) ● SYS/EX. The “Tx” setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI System Exclusive messages on or off.

NOTE Protected Songs cannot be transmitted even if the proper Song channels 1–16 are set to be transmitted. Connections – Using Tyros3 with Other Devices – A keyboard part played on the right side of the keyboard from the Split Point for the Voices (RIGHT 1, 2, and 3). 10 Tyros3 Reference Manual • 115 MIDI Receive Settings The explanations here apply to the RECEIVE Page in step 4 on page 112. This determines which parts will receive MIDI data and over which MIDI channels the data will be received. 1 The dots corresponding to each channel (1–16) flash briefly whenever any data is received on the channel(s). 1 1 2 3 Use the [A]/[B] buttons or [1 ▲▼]/[2 ▲▼] buttons to select the channel to be received The Tyros3 can receive MIDI messages over 32 channels (16 channels x 2 ports). Connections – Using Tyros3 with Other Devices – 2 10 Use the [3 ▲▼] buttons to select the part via which the selected channel will be received. With the exception of the two parts below, the configuration of the parts is the same as those already explained elsewhere in the Owner’s Manual. ● KEYBOARD The received note messages control the Tyros3’s keyboard performance. ● EXTRA PART 1–4 There are four parts specially reserved for receiving and playing MIDI data. Normally, these parts are not used by the instrument itself. The Tyros3 can be used as a 32-channel multi-timbral tone generator by using these four parts in addition to the parts (except for the microphone sound). 3 Use the [4 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] button to determine the types of data to be received. MIDI transmission/reception via the USB terminal and MIDI terminals The relationship between the [MIDI] terminals and the [USB] terminal which can be used for transmitting/ receiving 32 channels (16 channels x 2 ports) of the MIDI messages is as follows: ● MIDI reception ● MIDI transmission MIDI A IN terminal USB connector MIDI B IN terminal MIDI A OUT terminal USB connector MIDI B OUT terminal Port handling USB1 Merge MIDI A 01–16 116 • Tyros3 Reference Manual USB2 Merge MIDI B 01–16 MIDI A 01–16 MIDI B 01–16 Setting the Bass Note for Style Playback via MIDI Receive The explanations here apply to the BASS Page in step 4 on page 112. These settings let you determine the bass note for Style playback, based on the note messages received via MIDI. The note on/off messages received at the channel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the bass note of the chord of Style playback. The bass note will be detected regardless of the [ACMP] or split point settings. When several channels are simultaneously set to “ON,” the bass note is detected from merged MIDI data received over the channels. 1 2 1 2 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the channel. Use the [1 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] button to set the desired channel to ON or OFF. You can also set all channels to OFF by pressing the [I] (ALL OFF) button. The explanations here apply to the CHORD DETECT Page in step 4 on page 112. These settings let you determine the chord type for Style playback, based on the note messages received via MIDI. The note on/off messages received at the channel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the notes for detecting chords in Style playback. The chords to be detected depend on the fingering type. The chord types will be detected regardless of the [ACMP] or split point settings. When several channels are simultaneously set to “ON,” the chord type is detected from merged MIDI data received over the channels. Connections – Using Tyros3 with Other Devices – Setting the Chord Type for Style Playback via MIDI Receive 10 The operation procedure is basically the same as that of the BASS display above. Tyros3 Reference Manual • 117 MFC10 Settings The explanations here apply to the MFC10 Page in step 4 on page 112. By connecting an optional MFC10 MIDI Foot Controller to the Tyros3, you can conveniently control a wide range of operations and functions by using your feet—perfect for changing settings and controlling the sound while you perform live. Different functions can be assigned to each of the footswitches and up to five foot controllers (optional) can be connected to the MFC10, for additional sound-shaping possibilities. 1 Connect the MIDI IN terminal of the MFC10 to one of the MIDI OUT terminals of the Tyros3 by using a MIDI cable. MFC10 MIDI IN MIDI OUT If desired, connect additional foot controllers to the MFC10. Connections – Using Tyros3 with Other Devices – 2 10 Set the MFC10 to the normal mode and turn the [FUNCTION] lamp of the MFC10 on. 3 Perform steps 1–4 on page 112 to call up the MFC10 Page. 4 Set the parameters on this display as desired. 4-1 4-5 4-6 5 4-2 4-3 4-4 On this display, two settings (below) can be made: • Each footswitch (F00–F29) on the MFC10 sends a note number to the Tyros3, and the Tyros3 determines how it responds to (which function is executed by) that note number. • Each foot controller on the MFC10 sends control change messages over a specific control change number to the Tyros3, and the Tyros3 determines how it responds to (which parameter is changed by) that control change number. 4-1 Use the [A]/[E] buttons to select “FOOTSWITCH” or “FOOT CONTROLLER.” 4-2 Use the [2 ▲▼]/[3 ▲▼] buttons to select a footswitch number (F00– F29) or a foot controller number (1–5) to which the function is assigned. Please note that a note number is assigned to each footswitch and a control change number is assigned to each foot controller beforehand and you cannot change the settings. NEXT PAGE 118 • Tyros3 Reference Manual 4-3 Use the [4 ▲▼]–[6 ▲▼] buttons to specify the function assigned to the footswitch (actually the note number), or the function assigned to the foot controller (actually the control change number). About the functions which can be assigned to the footswitch or foot controller, refer to page 110. 4-4 (Only for the FOOT CONTROLLER Setting) Determine the part to which the function assigned to the foot controller is applied by using the [7 ▲▼]/[8 ▲▼] buttons. 4-5 Use the [F]/[G] buttons to determine the MIDI port which is to be used when communicating with the MFC10. Here, the USB port (USB1, USB2) can be selected even though the MFC10 does not have the USB connector. This is because the computer can be used instead of the MFC10. (The computer can transmit the data equivalent to the data the MFC10 transmits to the Tyros3. For details, see the bottom of the page.) 4-6 Use the [H] (CH SELECT) button to determine the MIDI channel which is to be used when communicating with the MFC10. 5 6 Press the [I] (SEND MFC10 SETUP) button to send the settings here to the MFC10. Disconnect the MIDI cable from the Tyros3 and the MFC10, and connect the MIDI OUT terminal of the MFC10 to the MIDI IN terminal of the Tyros3 according to the setting above by using a MIDI cable. NOTE Actually the pair of the footswitch number and the note number, the pair of the foot controller number and the control change number, and the MIDI channel for communication set above are transmitted to the MFC10. Transmitting note messages MIDI OUT MIDI IN Transmitting control change messages 7 8 Operate the MFC10 to confirm whether you can properly control the Tyros3 from the MFC10 as set in step 4. Press the [EXIT] button to return to the MIDI template Selection display and save the settings above to the USER tab. Using a computer or another MIDI instrument instead of the MFC10 The following two settings on the MFC10 Page can be saved not to the MFC10 but to the Tyros3 as a MIDI template. • Note number/Tyros3 function assignment pairs • Control change number/Tyros3 parameter change assignment pairs If you are not using an MFC10, you can have note numbers and control change messages from any other appropriate MIDI device (such as a computer, sequencer or master keyboard) control the Tyros3. Make sure to set the appropriate channel in this display for control by the external device.
