Voices – Playing the Keyboard – The Tyros3 features a wide variety of exceptionally realistic instrumental Voices, including piano, guitar, strings, brass, wind instruments and more. These include special MegaVoices and Super Articulation Voices. In particular, the ultra-natural Super Articulation 2 Voices provide a level of expressive capability and subtle performance nuances previously unavailable in keyboard instruments.
3 Press one of the [A]– [J] buttons to select the desired Voice. To call up the other display pages, press one of the [1 ▲]–[4 ▲] buttons or press the same VOICE button again. NOTE The Voice type and its defining characteristics are indicated above the Preset Voice name. For details on the characteristics, see page 39. NOTE You can call up the information for the selected Voice by pressing the [6 ▲] (INFO) button. To close the information display, press the [EXIT] button or [F] (OK) button.
Playing Different Voices with the Left and Right Hands 1 Make sure that some of PART ON/OFF [RIGHT 1]–[RIGHT 3] buttons are turned on. 2 Press the PART ON/OFF [LEFT] button to turn it on. 3 Press one of the VOICE category selection buttons to call up the Voice Selection display for the Left part. 4 Press one of the [A]–[J] buttons to select the desired Voice. 5 Play the keyboard.
Holding the LEFT part Voice (Left Hold) This function causes the LEFT part Voice to be held even when the keys are released. Nondecaying Voices such as strings are held continuously, while decay-type Voices such as piano decay more slowly (as if the sustain pedal has been pressed).
● Super Articulation Voices The word “articulation” in music usually refers to the transition or continuity between notes. This is often reflected in specific performance techniques, such as staccato, legato and slur. Two types of Voices—Super Articulation (SA) Voices and Super Articulation 2 (SA2) Voices—enable you to create these subtle musical expressions, simply by how you play. SA Voices (S.
Transposing the Pitch of the Keyboard The TRANSPOSE [-]/[+] buttons transpose the overall pitch of the instrument (the keyboard sound, Style playback, Song playback, and so on) in semitone steps. Press the [+] and [-] buttons simultaneously to instantly reset the transpose value to 0. NOTE The Transpose functions do not affect the Drum Kit or SFX Kit Voices. NOTE You can also change the transpose settings in the MIXING CONSOLE display: [MIXING CONSOLE] → TAB [Q][W] TUNE → [1 ▲▼]–[3 ▲▼] TRANSPOSE.
Using the Modulation Wheel The Modulation function applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. By default, this is applied to the keyboard parts RIGHT 1–3. Moving the MODULATION wheel down (toward you) decreases the depth of the effect, while moving it up (away from you) increases it. NOTE Depending on the selected Voice, the MODULATION wheel may control volume, filter or some other parameter instead of vibrato.
● Type 2 In this type, playing the keyboard while holding down the available [ART] button changes the nature of Voice. For example, in the case of the SA Nylon Guitar Voice, holding down the [ART. 1] button lets you play harmonics for the guitar Voice. Releasing the button returns the Voice to normal. In the case of SA BigBandBrass Voice, normally there is a pitch “shake” when you play at a higher velocity, but if you hold the [ART. 1] button while you play, the shake will be replaced by a fall.
Applying Voice Effects The Tyros3 features a sophisticated multi-processor effect system which can add extraordinary depth and expression to your sound. This effect system can be turned on or off by using the following buttons. These three effect systems are applied to the currently selected keyboard part (RIGHT 1, 2, 3, or LEFT) Voices – Playing the Keyboard – 1 ● HARMONY/ECHO The Harmony/Echo types are applied to the right-hand Voices. Refer to “Applying Harmony to Your Right-hand Melody” on page 45.
Applying Harmony to Your Right-hand Melody (HARMONY/ECHO) Among the Voice Effects, Harmony is one of the most impressive. It automatically adds harmony parts to the notes you play with your right hand—immediately giving you a more full and professional sound. Turn the [HARMONY/ECHO] button on. 2 Turn on both the [ACMP] button and [SYNC START] button (page 48) and make sure that the RIGHT 1 part is on (page 36).
Creating Your Original Organ Flutes Voices The Tyros3 uses advanced digital technology to recreate the legendary sound of vintage organs. Just as on a traditional organ, you can create your own sound by increasing and decreasing the levels of the flute footages. Press the [ORGAN FLUTES] button. The FOOTAGE Page of the Organ Flutes Voice is called up. 2 Use the [ASSIGN] slider and [1]–[8] sliders to adjust the footage settings. The footage settings determine the basic sound of the organ flutes.
5 Press the [6 ▼] (SAVE) button to save your edited Organ Flutes Voice (page 30). Advanced Features Selecting GM/XG or other Voices from the Panel CAUTION The settings will be lost if you select another Voice or turn the power to the instrument off without executing the Save operation. Refer to the Reference Manual on the website.
Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – The Tyros3 features a variety of accompaniment and rhythmic backing patterns (called “Styles”) in a variety of different musical genres including pop, jazz, and many others. The Style features Auto Accompaniment, letting you produce automatic accompaniment playback simply by playing “chords” with your left hand. This lets you automatically recreate the sound of a full band or orchestra—even if you’re playing by yourself.
5 6 As soon as you play a chord with your left hand, the selected Style starts. Try playing chords with your left hand and play melody with your right hand. NOTE If you want to know which key you need to play to make certain chords, call up the CHORD FINGERING display: [FUNCTION] → [C] STYLE SETTING/ SPLIT POINT/CHORD FINGERING → TAB [Q][W] CHORD FINGERING. For more information, refer to the Reference Manual on the website. Press the [START/STOP] button to stop Style playback.

Changing Pattern Variation (Sections) During Style playback Each Style features four different Main sections, four Fill-in sections and a Break section. By using these sections effectively, you can easily make your performance sound more dynamic and professional. The section can be freely changed while the Style is playing back. ● MAIN VARIATION [A]–[D] buttons Press one of the MAIN VARIATION [A]–[D] buttons to select the desired Main section (the button lights in red).
Calling up the Panel Settings to Match the Style (Repertoire) The convenient Repertoire function automatically calls up the most appropriate panel settings (Voice number, etc.) for the currently selected Style. 1 Select the desired Style from the “PRESET” or “USER” tab on Style Selection display (steps 1–2 on page 48). 2 Press the [6 ▲] (REPERTOIRE) button. Various appropriate panel settings matching the selected Style will be shown in the display.
Appropriate Panel Settings for the Selected Style (One Touch Setting) One Touch Setting is a powerful and convenient feature that automatically calls up the most appropriate panel settings (Voices or effects, etc.) for the currently selected Style, with the touch of a single button. If you’ve already decided which Style you wish to use, you can have One Touch Setting automatically select the appropriate Voice for you. 1 Select a Style (steps 1–2 on page 48).
Turning Style Parts On/Off and Changing Voices A Style contains eight channels: RHY1 (Rhythm 1)–PHR2 (Phrase 2) below. You can add variations and change the feeling of a Style by selectively turning channels on/off as the Style plays. ● Style channels • RHY1/2 (Rhythm 1/2) .. These are the basic parts of the Style, containing the drum and percussion rhythm patterns. • BASS .............................. The bass part uses various appropriate instrument sounds to match the Style. • CHD1/2 (Chord 1/ 2)...

Connections – Using Tyros3 with Other Devices – CAUTION Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power of all components. Also, before turning any components on or off, make sure to set all volume levels to minimum (0). Otherwise, electrical shock or damage to the components may occur. Connecting Audio Devices IMPORTANT Since the Tyros3 has no built-in speakers, you need to monitor its sound output via external audio equipment.
Mixing the Sound of External Audio Devices with the Tyros3 Sound The [LINE IN/MIC] jacks can be used either as LINE IN or MIC. The [L/L+R/MIC] jack can be connected to any standard microphone or line-level source with a 1/4” phone plug. By connecting an external audio source to the [R] and [L/L+R/MIC] jacks, you can record that source along with your performance, using the Hard Disk Recorder function. Connecting a source only to the [L/L+R/MIC] jack results in a mono input.
Connecting a Separate TV Monitor/Computer Monitor You can connect the Tyros3 directly to an external monitor for displaying the lyrics and chords of your song data on a large screen. There are two kinds of output connectors: RGB OUT (for a computer monitor) and VIDEO OUT (for a TV or video monitor). The RGB OUT terminal delivers higher resolution than the VIDEO OUT jack. NOTE If the display is not aligned properly in the computer monitor, change the settings on the monitor itself.
Connecting a Microphone By connecting a microphone, you can enjoy singing along with your keyboard performance or with Song playback (KARAOKE). Make sure you have a conventional dynamic microphone. 1 NOTE A dynamic microphone with an impedance of 250 ohms is recommended. NOTE Set the [TRIM] control on the rear panel and the [INPUT VOLUME] on the front panel both to “MIN.” You can also connect a guitar to the LINE IN/MIC [L/L+R/MIC] jack in the same way as connecting a microphone.
Adding Effects to The Microphone Sound Use the [EFFECT] button to determine the on/off setting of the effect applied to the microphone, set in the Mixing Console display (page 78). Applying Harmony Vocals to Your Voice Connections – Using Tyros3 with Other Devices – You can automatically apply various harmony vocals to your voice as you sing into the connected microphone. 10 1 Press the [VOCAL HARMONY] button to turn the function on.
Making announcements between Songs Turning the [TALK] button on lets you temporarily cancel the vocal harmony or other microphone effects when using a connected microphone. This is especially useful when you talk between songs during a performance. Advanced Features Refer to the Reference Manual on the website.
Connecting a USB Storage Device By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device, you can save data you’ve created to the device, as well as read data from it. Use the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal to connect a USB storage device. Precautions when using the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal This instrument features two built-in [USB TO DEVICE] terminals. When connecting a USB device to the terminal, be sure to handle the USB device with care. Follow the important precautions below.
Formatting a USB Storage Device When a USB storage device is connected or media is inserted, a message may appear prompting you to format the device/media. If so, execute the format operation. 1 Insert a USB storage device for formatting into the [USB TO DEVICE]. 2 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] → [I] UTILITY → TAB [Q][W] MEDIA CAUTION The format operation deletes any previously existing data. Make sure that the media you are formatting does not contain important data.
Connecting to a Computer By connecting a computer to the [USB TO HOST] terminal, you can transfer data between the Tyros3 and the computer via MIDI, and use the computer to control, edit and organize data on the Tyros3. For example, you can use the included Voice Editor program to edit the Tyros3’s Custom Voices. NOTE You need to install a USB-MIDI driver to connect the computer and the instrument. Refer to the separate Installation Guide.
Accessing a Hard Disk Drive on the Tyros3 from the Computer (USB Storage Mode) When the USB Storage mode is selected, Wave files and Song files can be transferred between the internal hard disk drive of the Tyros3 and the computer. In the “normal” mode the USB connection can be used for MIDI control. The USB interface does not directly handle audio signals. 1 Confirm that the hard disk drive is installed to the Tyros3 and turn the computer’s power on.
Connecting External MIDI Devices The sophisticated MIDI functions give you powerful tools to expand your music performance and creation possibilities. Use the [MIDI] terminals and standard MIDI cables to connect external MIDI devices (keyboard, sequencer, etc.) • MIDI IN ............... Receives MIDI messages from another MIDI device. Two ports (A, B) are provided and each can receive MIDI messages of 16 channels. • MIDI OUT ........... Transmits MIDI messages generated by the Tyros3 to another MIDI device.
Utility – Making Global Settings – The Utility section in the Function menu provides a variety of convenient tools and settings for the Tyros3. These include general settings that affect the entire instrument, as well as detailed settings for specific functions. Also included are data reset functions and storage media control, such as disk formatting. To call up the Utility menu, press: [FUNCTION] ➔ [I] UTILITY button. • CONFIG1 .............

Satellite speakers (2) Subwoofer speaker (1) Speaker brackets (2) RCA pin cables (2) 1 Turn the Tyros3’s power off, and disconnect the AC power cord. Also, make sure to disconnect the keyboard from any other external devices. 2 Insert the two speaker brackets to the rear panel of the Tyros3.
5 Use the RCA pin/8-pin combination cable to connect the subwoofer speaker to the respective outputs on the Tyros3. Tyros3 Sub-Woofer 6 Connect the power plugs of the Tyros3 and the subwoofer to an appropriate AC outlet. 7 First, set the volume controls (MASTER VOLUME on the Tyros3 and BASS on the subwoofer) to minimum. Finally, turn on the power of the subwoofer, then the Tyros3. BASS 0 10 Installing the Optional Speakers Turn the subwoofer on (from the rear panel). Turn the Tyros3 on.
Installing the Optional DIMMs Installing optional DIMMs to the Tyros3 allows you to save large amounts of Voice data created by the Voice Creator function. This section explains how to install DIMM memory modules to the Tyros3. WARNING CAUTION • Before beginning installation, switch off the power to the Tyros3 and connected peripherals, and unplug them from the power outlet. Then remove all cables connecting the Tyros3 to other devices.
3 Remove the four screws from the cover. 4 Insert the two DIMMs into the DIMM sockets. Open the ejector levers, then insert the DIMM vertically in the socket. Notch for alignment Make sure that the DIMM module is aligned correctly before you install it. 168-pin DIMMs Ejector levers Insert the DIMM vertically in the socket, aligning the notches to the corresponding protrusions. 5 6 Press it in firmly until it “snaps” or locks in place. Re-install the cover you removed in step 3, in reverse order.
Replacing the Internal Hard Disk If the factory-installed hard disk crashes or when you want to replace it with another one (for example, one you have used on the Tyros/Tyros2), you can remove the current one and install the new one by following the procedure below. The hard disk used must be a 2.5-inch P-ATA (parallel ATA) compatible; however, not all such drives may be installable.
5 Remove the four screws to remove the installed hard disk unit from the bracket. 6 Attach the new hard disk unit to the bracket using the four screws removed in step 5. You should tighten these two screws first. Make sure the bottom of the hard disk is facing up. Depending on the type of hard disk drive you plan to install, select holes A or holes B to attach the hard disk drive. * Holes A are used in this illustration. 7 8 Set the Tyros3 right-side up.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION When using a mobile phone, noise is produced. Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the Tyros3 may produce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away from the Tyros3. The Main display does not appear even when turning the power on. This may occur if a hard disk or USB storage device has been installed to the Tyros3.
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION Not all simultaneously played notes sound. Style playback seems to “skip” when the keyboard is played. You are probably exceeding the maximum polyphony of the Tyros3. The Tyros3 can play up to 128 notes at the same time—including RIGHT 1/RIGHT 2/RIGHT 3/LEFT Voices, Style, Song, and Multi Pad notes. When the maximum polyphony is exceeded, the least important notes (such as soft notes and notes currently decaying) will stop sounding first.
Troubleshooting PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION Song playback does not start. If the Song is write-protected (“Prot. 2 Edit” is shown at the upper left of the Song name): • The original file may not be in the same folder. It cannot be played back unless the original file (showing “Prot.2 Orig” at the upper left of the Song name) is in the same folder. • The original file name may have been changed. Rename the file with the original file name (so that “Prot.
