Making Global and Other Important Settings – Function
The Function menu called up by pressing the [FUNCTION] button gives you access to various advanced functions
related to the instrument as a whole. These sophisticated functions let you customize the TYROS to your own musical
needs and preferences.
Tuning
Parameters set on the display called up by selecting “MASTER TUNE/SCALE TUNE” in step #2 of the Basic Procedure above
are explained below.
■ MASTER TUNE...................................................................................................................................................
The [FUNCTION] → MASTER TUNE/SCALE TUNE → MASTER TUNE display allows you to make fine adjustments to the overall
pitch of the instrument, from 414.8 - 466.8 Hz by using the corresponding the lower and upper LCD buttons — letting you accurately
match the tuning with that of other instruments. Press the corresponding lower and upper buttons simultaneously to instantly reset the
value to the factory setting of 440.0 Hz.
Please note that the Tune function does not affect the Drum Kit or SFX Kit voices.
■ SCALE TUNE.......................................................................................................................................................
The [FUNCTION] → MASTER TUNE/SCALE TUNE → SCALE TUNE display determines the particular tuning system (or temper-
ament) for the instrument. This function allows each individual note of the octave to be tuned in cents (1 cent = 1/100th of a semitone)
for each part – especially useful for playing period pieces, to match the tuning system used during specific musical eras.
