Quick Guide

TYROS Owner’s Manual
5 As soon as you play a chord with your left hand, the selected style
starts.
For this example, play a C major chord (as shown below).
6 Try playing other chords with your left hand and
play a melody with your right hand.
For information on how to enter chords, see page 108 and the Chord Fingering Chart
listed in the separate Data List booklet.
The chord root/type specified with your left hand will be shown at the center of the Main
display.
7 Press the [START/STOP] button to stop style playback.

■ Stop Accompaniment function
When auto accompaniment is turned on and Syncro Start is off, you can play chords in the left-hand
(accompaniment) section of the keyboard with the style stopped, and still hear the accompaniment
chord. In this condition — called “Stop Accompaniment” — any valid chord fingerings (page 108) are
recognized and the chord root/type are shown in the LCD. Since the TYROS properly recognizes the
chord, you can also use the Chord Match function (page 38) with the Multi Pads or the Harmony effect
(page 39) without having to play back a style.
