6 • Tyros3 Reference Manual 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 [QQQQ][WWWW] KEYBOARD/PANEL 2 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the desired parameter: INITIAL TOUCH or AFTER TOUCH. 3 Use the [1 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons to specify the touch response. ●1 INITIAL TOUCH ●2 AFTER TOUCH Effect-Related Settings Some Voices are purposely designed without touch sensitivity, in order to emulate the true characteristics of the actual instrument (for example, conven- tional organs, which have no touch response). NOTE 2 3 [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. [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 Turns Aftertouch on or off for each keyboard part.

Tyros3 Reference Manual • 7 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. Split Point (for the Voice) LEFT Voice and chord section for Harmony effect RIGHT 1–3 Voices Chord section for Style playback and Harmony effect Chord section for Style playback and Harmony effect Split Point Split Point (for Style playback) Split Point LEFT Voice RIGHT 1–3 Voices NEXT PAGE

8 • Tyros3 Reference Manual ●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).

Tyros3 Reference Manual • 9 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 [QQQQ][WWWW] 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. Scale Tuning 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 [QQQQ][WWWW] SCALE TUNE 2 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the desired scale. ●Preset Scale types Pitch-Related Settings 2 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. NEXT PAGE

12 • Tyros3 Reference Manual 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. ■COMMON Page ■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 MODU- LATION wheel modulates each of the following parameters. The available parameters differ depend- ing on the Voice. NOTE [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. [2 ▲▼] DEPTH Determines the velocity sensitivity, or how much the level of the Voice changes in response to your playing strength (velocity). [3 ▲▼] OFFSET 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 polyphoni- cally. 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. 0 64 127 64 127 0 64 127 64 127 Actual Velocity for tone generator Depth=127 (twice) Depth=64 (normal) Depth=32 (half) Depth=0 TOUCH SENSE DEPTH Changes to velocity curve according to VelDepth (with Offset set to 64) Received Velocity (Actual KeyOn speed) TOUCH SENSE OFFSET Changes to velocity curve according to VelOffset (with Depth set to 64) Actual Velocity for tone generator Received Velocity (Actual KeyOn speed) Offset=96 (+64) Offset=127 (+127) Offset=64 (normal) Offset=32 (-64) Offset=0 (-127) Depends on offset Depends on offset [2 ▲▼] FILTER Determines the degree to which the MODULATION wheel modulates the Fil- ter 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 Fil- ter modulation, or the wah effect. [7 ▲▼] LFO AMOD Determines the degree to which the MODULATION wheel modulates the amplitude, or the tremolo effect.

Tyros3 Reference Manual • 13 ●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. Volume These frequencies are “passed” by the filter. Cutoff range Frequency (pitch) Cutoff Frequency Volume Frequency (pitch) Resonance Time Level Key on Key off Sustain Level ATTACK DECAY RELEASE [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.

14 • Tyros3 Reference Manual ●VIBRATO Vibrato is a quavering, vibrating sound effect that is produced by reg- ularly modulating the pitch of the Voice. ■EFFECT/EQ Page ●1 REVERB DEPTH/CHORUS DEPTH/DSP DEPTH ●2 DSP ●3 EQ Determines the Frequency and Gain of the Low and High EQ bands. For infor- mation 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. Pitch DELAY SPEED DEPTH Time [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. [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 cate- gory. [5 ▲▼]– [8 ▲▼] VARIATION Two variations are provided for each DSP type. Here, you can edit the VARIA- TION on/off status and variation’s parameter value setting. [5 ▲▼] ON/OFF 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 but- ton is effective only when the [DSP] button is on.) PARAMETER Displays the variation parameter. (This differs depending on the effect type and cannot be changed.) [6 ▲▼] – [8 ▲▼] VALUE Adjusts the value of the DSP variation parameter.

Editing Organ Flutes Parameters After editing, go to the Voice Selection display by pressing the [I] (PRESETS) button and save the setting. The settings will be lost if you select another Voice or turn the power to the instrument off without executing the Save opera- tion. CAUTION Same as the FOOTAGE Page. [1 ▲▼] VOL (Volume) Adjusts the overall volume of the Organ Flutes. The longer the graphic bar, the greater the volume. [2 ▲▼] RESP (Response) Affects both the attack and release (page 13) portion of the sound, increasing or decreasing the response time of the initial swell and release, based on the FOOTAGE controls. The higher the value, the slower the swell and release. [3 ▲▼] VIBRATO SPEED Determines the speed of the vibrato effect controlled by the Vibrato On/Off ([F]/[G] buttons) and Vibrato Depth ([H] button). [4 ▲▼] MODE The MODE control selects between two modes: FIRST and EACH. In the FIRST mode, attack (percussive sound) is applied only to the first notes played and held simultaneously; while the first notes are held, any subsequently played notes have no attack applied. In the EACH mode, attack is applied equally to all notes. [5 ▲▼]– [7 ▲▼] 4’, 2 2/3’, 2’ These determine the attack sound volume of the ORGAN FLUTE Voice. The 4’, 2-2/3’ and 2’ controls increase or reduce the volume of attack sound at the corresponding footages. The longer the graphic bar, the greater the attack sound volume. [8 ▲▼] LENG (Length) Affects the attack portion of the sound producing a longer or shorter decay immediately after the initial attack. The longer the graphic bar, the longer the decay.

Tyros3 Reference Manual • 17 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. Creating Custom Voices (Voice Creator) USB or HD Wave files (WAV or AIFF) q Import to Element(s) (steps 1–9 below) Tyros3 Element 8 Element 1 Wave 1 Wave 2 USB, HD or USER NORMAL xxxxx.UVN xxxxx.UVN w Edit each element and entire Voice (steps 10–12) e Save as a file (step 13) r Assign to the Expansion Voice Bank (step 14) To take full advantage of the Voice Cre- ator function, we recommend that you install optional DIMMs. 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. NEXT PAGE

Tyros3 Reference Manual • 31 ●Chord Fingering Types SINGLE FINGER Makes it simple to produce orchestrated accompaniment using major, sev- enth, 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: MULTI FINGER 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 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. Cm C Cm7 C7 For a major chord, press the root key only. For a minor chord, simul- taneously press the root key and a black key to its left. 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. “AI” stands for “Artificial Intelligence.” NOTE “AI” stands for “Artificial Intelligence.” NOTE

32 • Tyros3 Reference Manual The Tyros3 has a variety of Style playback functions which can be accessed in the display below. 1 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] → [C] STYLE SETTING/SPLIT POINT/CHORD FINGERING → TAB [QQQQ][WWWW] STYLE SETTING 2 Use the [1 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons for each setting. 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.” NOTE

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. [8 ▲▼] PART ON/OFF This determines whether the Style Channel On/Off status changes or not when you change Styles. HOLD: The Style Channel On/Off status of the previous Style is maintained. RESET: All Style Channels are set to On.

Tyros3 Reference Manual • 37 Realtime Recording In the BASIC Page, you can create a single Style by recording the individual channels one-by-one, using realtime recording. 1 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. 2 Call up the operation display. [DIGITAL RECORDING] → [B] STYLE CREATOR The BASIC Page is shown. 3 If you want to create a new Style from scratch, press the [C] (NEW STYLE) button to delete all channel’s data. 4 Select the desired section (Intro, Main, Ending, etc.) for your new Style. First close the RECORD display by pressing the [EXIT] button. Then use the [3 ▲▼]/[4 ▲▼] buttons to select the section to be recorded. 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. To call up the RECORD display again, press the [F] (REC CH) button.

To cancel the selection, press the corresponding [1 ▼]–[8 ▼] button again. 7 Call up the Voice Selection display by using the [1 ▲]–[8 ▲] buttons and select the desired Voice for the corresponding recording chan- nels. Press the [EXIT] button to close the Voice Selection display. 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] but- ton. 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). 7 6 Preset Organ Flute Voice can be recorded to the RHY1 and BASS–PHR2 channels. NOTE 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. When recording channels BASS–PHR2 based on the existing Style, you have to delete the original data before record- ing. NOTE 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

The edited Style will be lost if you change to another Style or turn the power to the instrument off without executing the Save opera- tion. 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). 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. C R C C R C C = Chord note C, R = Recommended 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. NOTE

40 • Tyros3 Reference Manual 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), refer to page 66.

42 • Tyros3 Reference Manual Editing the Rhythmic Feel 1 In the GROOVE Page, use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the edit menu, then edit the data by using the [1 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons. ●1 GROOVE This lets you add swing to the music or change the “feel” of the beat by mak- ing subtle shifts in the timing (clock) of the Style. The Groove settings are applied to all channels of the selected Style. 3 1 1 2 [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 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. NEXT PAGE

Tyros3 Reference Manual • 45 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. NOTE 4 2 3 1 The edited Style will be lost if you change to another Style or turn the power to the instrument off without executing the Save opera- tion. CAUTION

46 • Tyros3 Reference Manual ●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 are changed to “Play Root” and “Play Chord,” respectively. In this case, you can change chords and hear the result- ing sound for all channels. This is not applied when the NTR is set to GUITAR.

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. When playing a C major chord. When playing an F major chord. When playing a C major chord. When playing an F major chord. [5 ▲▼]– [7 ▲▼] NTT (Note Trans- position 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.

Tyros3 Reference Manual • 47 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.

64 • Tyros3 Reference Manual ●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. After 1/8 note quantization 1/4 note 1/4 note triplet 1/16 note 1/16 note triplet 1/32 note 1/8 note+ 1/8 note triplet* 1/16 note+ 1/8 note triplet* 1/16 note+ 1/16 note triplet* 1/8 note 1/8 note triplet Settings: Original data (assuming 4/4 meter) Quantizing strength =100 Quantizing strength =50 Quarter-note length

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. NOTE NOTE NOTE

This lets you record as much silence as you want before the start of the Multi Pad phrase. If Chord Match is set to on for the Multi Pad to be recorded, you should record using the notes of the C major seventh scale (C, D, E, G, A and B). 8 Stop recording. Press the [H] (STOP) button or the panel MULTI PAD CONTROL [STOP] button or the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button to stop recording when you’ve finished playing the phrase. 9 Listen back to your newly recorded phrase, by pressing the appropri- ate MULTI PAD button, [1]–[4]. To re-record the phrase, repeat steps 6–8. 10 Turn Repeat of each pad On or Off by using the [1 ▲▼]–[4 ▲▼] but- tons. If the Repeat parameter is on for the selected pad, playback of the correspond- ing pad will continue until the MULTI PAD [STOP] button is pressed. When you press the Multi Pads for which Repeat is turned on during Song or Style play- back, playback will start and repeat in sync with the beat. If the Repeat parameter is off for the selected pad, playback will end automati- cally as soon as the end of the phrase is reached. 11 Turn Chord Match of each pad On or Off by using the [5 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons. If the Chord Match parameter is on for the selected pad, the corresponding pad is played back according to the chord specified in the chord section of the keyboard generated by turning [ACMP] on, or specified in the LEFT Voice sec- tion of the keyboard generated by turning [LEFT] on (when turning the [ACMP] off). 12 Press the [D] (NAME) button, then enter a name for each Multi Pad, as desired. 13 Press the [I] (SAVE) button, then save the Multi Pad data as a Bank containing a set of four Pads. Multi Pad Step Recording (EDIT) Step Recording can be executed in the EDIT page. After selecting a Multi Pad in step 5 on page 70, press the TAB [WWWW] button to select the EDIT Page. The EDIT page indicates the Event list, which lets you record notes with absolutely precise timing. This Step Record- ing procedure is essentially the same as that for Song Recording (pages 56–59), with the exception of the points 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 Voices is set for RIGHT1 part, it will be replaced with a Piano Voice. NOTE C R C C R C C = Chord note C, R = Recommended note Multi Pads indicated with the following icon (hand on fretboard) are created with Guitar NTT (page 46) to produce the natural chord voicing of the guitar. Because of this, if the Chord Match set- ting is set to off, the Multi Pads may not sound appropriately. NOTE

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 • A length of less than or equal to 80 minutes 1 Insert the USB storage device (or connecting cable) to the USB TO DEVICE terminal. 2 Press the HARD DISK RECORDER [SELECT] button to call up the AUDIO display.

Tyros3 Reference Manual • 83 You can re-record the data which you created in the following five ways. • Replace the whole data: NORMAL REC.....................................................See below • Mix the recorded data: NORMAL REC (PLUS PLAYBACK)..........................See below • Replace a certain range of the data: PUNCH IN/OUT ............................See page 84 • Overdub a certain range of the data: PUNCH IN/OUT (MERGE)............See page 84 • Merge the Main and Sub tracks to the Main track: BOUNCE .........................................................................................See the Owner’s Manual. 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 Press the HARD DISK RECORDER [SELECT] button and select the recorded file to be re-recorded from the AUDIO display. 2 Press the HARD DISK RECORDER [SETTING] button, then use the TAB [QQQQ][WWWW] buttons to select the REC MODE tab. 3 Use the [C] (TRACK SELECT) button to select the track to be re- recorded. 4 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, con- nect 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 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. NOTE 4 3 The playback sound of the other (not re- recorded) track is not recorded. NOTE NEXT PAGE

84 • Tyros3 Reference Manual 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 perfor- mance, 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. 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. 1 Press the HARD DISK RECORDER [SELECT] button and select the recorded file to be re-recorded from the AUDIO display. 2 Press the HARD DISK RECORDER [SETTING] button, then use the TAB [QQQQ][WWWW] buttons to select the REC MODE tab. 3 Use the [C] (TRACK SELECT) button to select the track to be re- recorded. 4 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select a recording method. • 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 recorded data. We recommend that you specify the beginning and ending points at sections in the data where the volume is low.

Tyros3 Reference Manual • 87 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). 1 Press the HARD DISK RECORDER [SELECT] button to call up the AUDIO display. 2 Select the appropriate folder containing the desired audio files by using the [A]–[J] buttons. 3 Press the [8 ▼] (CHANGE MENU) button if necessary, then press the [6 ▼] (Add to PLAYLIST) button. 4 Select the desired audio file(s) by using the [A]–[J] buttons. The selected file name is highlighted. You can continue to select additional files here, as many as desired. If multiple pages (P1, P2, ...) are shown at the bottom, you can select files from these displays, too. To select all the files in the current folder, press the [6 ▼] (ALL) button. 5 Press the [7 ▼] (OK) button. To cancel the operation, press the [8 ▼] (CANCEL) button. 6 Check the Playlist to confirm that the files have been added by press- ing the [6 ▲] (PLAYLIST) button. If the Playlist already has audio files, additional files are automatically put at the end of the list. Added files are also automatically selected (checkmarked) for playback. 7 Save the Playlist. Press the [5 ▲▼] (PLAYLIST FILE) button, then save the Playlist to the USER drive, installed hard disk drive or USB storage device. Playing a Playlist Once you’ve created and/or edited a Playlist (page 88) and you’ve enabled the Playlist mode, you can play back the files in the list—at any time during your performance. Keep in mind that playback of files is not instantaneous. Since the Hard Disk Recorder needs to load each file before playing it, playback pauses roughly one or two seconds between files. 1 Press the Hard Disk Recorder [SELECT] button to call up the AUDIO display. 2 Press the [6 ▲] (PLAYLIST) button to call up the Playlist display. 3 Press the [5 ▲▼] (PLAYLIST FILE) buttons to call up the PLAYLIST FILE display, then select the desired Playlist by using the [A]–[J] but- tons. Playlist Mode A Playlist can contain a maximum of 500 audio files. NOTE If you want to select all but a few of the files in the folder, a quick method is to use the [6 ▼] (ALL) button to select all of the files, then use the [A]–[J] buttons to de-select specific files. NOTE If you change the file icon after adding to the Playlist, the audio file cannot be recognized from the Playlist.

92 • Tyros3 Reference Manual Editing FILTER Parameters [D]/[I] HARMONIC CONTENT Allows you to adjust the resonance effect (page 13) for each part. [E]/[J] BRIGHTNESS Determines the brightness of the sound for each part by adjusting the cutoff frequency (page 13). Editing TUNE Parameters [A]/[B]/ [F]/[G] PORTAMENTO 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. [C]/[H] PITCH BEND RANGE 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 Voices may not be raised or lowered completely. NOTE

96 • Tyros3 Reference Manual 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. Editing EQ Parameters [A]/[B] TYPE Selects the desired Master EQ type. This affects the overall sound of the instru- ment. [F] EDIT For editing the Master EQ. See page 97. [D]/[I] EQ HIGH Boosts or attenuates the high EQ band for each part.
