Talk Setting
This function is ideal for making announcements between your singing performances. When singing a song, several effects such 
as reverb, delay and vocal harmony are usually assigned to the MIC Setup. When speaking to your audience, however, these 
effects may sound disturbing or unnatural. Whenever the [TALK] button is turned on, Delay and Vocal Harmony effects turn off 
and the amount of reverb lowers automatically. Talk settings can...

There are many components that make up the overall sound of the TYROS.  These include MIDI sequence data from 
the songs, styles, and Multi Pads, and audio input from a microphone, as well as the various parts of your keyboard 
performance.  The Mixing Console gives you control over the volume and pan settings of each of these components 
— and some other settings as well — letting you fine-tune the overall sound of the TYROS.

Song Auto Revoice
This feature lets you use the stunning sound of the TYROS to full advantage with XG-compatible song data.  When you play back 
any commercially available XG song data or that created on other instruments, you can use Auto Revoice to automatically assign 
the specially created voices of the TYROS (Natural!, Live!, Cool!, etc.) instead of the conventional XG voices of the same type.  
To do this, simply turn on Song Auto Revoice (from...

Equalizer (also called “EQ”) is a sound processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands which 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. The sound is divided 
into several frequency bands, allowing you to correct the sound by raising or lowering the level for each band. EQ allows...

Master Compressor
Compressor is an effect commonly used to limit and compress the dynamics (softness/loudness) of an audio signal.  For signals 
that vary widely in dynamics, such as vocals and guitar parts, it “squeezes” the dynamic range, effectively making soft sounds 
louder and loud sounds softer.  When used with gain to boost the overall level, this creates a more powerful, more consistently 
high-level sound.  Compression can be used to increase...
