Song Position
The TYROS provides the following song position features.
• The current song position is indicated on the Main display as measure/beat number during playback — letting you easily see where 
you are in the song.
• Pressing the [FF] or [REW] button automatically calls up a pop-up window showing the current measure number (or Phrase Mark 
number) in the Main display.
• You can put Song Position markers in the song data using the [SP1] - [SP4] buttons (page 44).  This not only lets you navigate quickly 
and easily through a song, but also lets you set up convenient playback loops.
 Song Position Marker.....................................................................................................................................
This section covers two additional Marker-related features and details.  For basic information on using the Markers for 
jump playback and loop playback, refer to page 44 in the Quick Guide. 
 Jump Markers
The Markers explained in the Quick Guide on page 44 are also called “Jump Markers.”  They can be set in the song data by pressing 
the [SP1] - [SP4] buttons.  In the Event List display of the Song Creator (page 106), they are indicated as “SPJ-01” -  “SPJ-04.”  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 occuring one is used as an 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 [SP1] - [SP4] 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 page 44 in the Quick Guide.
The examples below show how Loop End Markers can be used in song playback. 
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 appropriate names to them.  By naming Markers in this way, you can easily distinguish between Loop End Markers and Jump 
Markers in the Event List. 
This menu appears only when the song data contains 
Phrase Marks. 
This determines which is used for song position, Bar 
(measure) or Phrase Mark.  When this is set to 
“PHRASE MARK,” you can use the [FF] or [REW] but-
tons to navigate through the Phrase Marks in the song. Indicates the current measure 
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 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 second SPJ-01 (Loop End Marker).
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.

• 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 jump-
ing 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 TYROS.
• When using the Guide function (the 
[GUIDE] lamp is on) with jump play-
back, keep in mind that the Guide 
indication may not be able to stay in 
time with the jumps.

QUICK STARTOn some commercially available song data, certain settings related to the song 
(such as voice selection, volume, etc.) are recorded to the first measure, before the 
actual note data. When Quick Start is set to “ON,” the TYROS reads all initial non-
note data of the song at the highest possible speed, then automatically slows down 
to the appropriate tempo at the first note. This allows you to start playback as quick-
ly as possible, with a minimum pause for reading of data.

Song Creator (Digital Recording)
This section explains operations not covered in the Quick Guide, including Step Recording and re-recording or editing 
existing song data.  For basic information on recording a song using Quick Recording and Multi Recording, refer to 
the Quick Guide.
You can record your keyboard performance as MIDI data in two different ways: Realtime and Step.
 Realtime RecordingThis method records performance data in real time, overwriting any data already present in the destination 
channel. The new data replaces the previous data. This method is covered in the “Quick Guide.”
 
 Step Recording
This method lets you compose your performance by “writing” it down one event at a time. This is a non-
realtime, manual recording method – similar to writing music notation onto paper. By using the Event List 
(pages 98, 100, 106), you can input notes, chords and other events one by one.
This Realtime recording method lets you re-record only over a specific area of the already-recorded song. 
Data between the Punch In point and the Punch Out point is overwritten with the material recorded.  Keep in mind that the parts before and after 
the Punch In/Out section are not recorded over — they play back normally to guide you in and out of the recording.
You can specify the Punch In and Punch Out points as measure numbers beforehand for automatic operation, or manually execute the Punch 
In/Out recording by using a Foot Pedal or simply by playing the keyboard. 
Set the Punch In/Out related parameters on the [DIGITAL RECORDING] → SONG CREATOR → REC MODE display and re-record the 
already-recorded song by following the instructions described in the “Quick Guide.”
Song data is made up of various recorded MIDI events, including global events for the entire song and specific events for each channel.  The 
MIDI Event List is a useful Song Creator tool that arranges all events in a song in chronological order (in measures, beats, clocks), and allows 
you to make detailed changes to those events.  Among the events included are:
• Chord/Section ..............................These style playback events let you enter Chords and Sections (Intro, Main, Ending, and so on).
• MIDI channel (1 - 16) data ..........Channel-specific events, such as note on/off, program change (voice number), control change mes-
sages (including volume and pan of the Mixing Console settings), and pitch bend
• System Exclusive Messages.........Events that affect all channels, such as tempo and beat (time signature)
• Lyrics............................................Song Lyric data
Remember that you can also use Realtime Recording to re-record a song that has already been created with Step Recording.

 PEDAL PUNCH IN/OUT settings..........................................................................................................
When this is set to ON, you can use Foot Pedal 2 to control the punch-in and punch-out points. While a song is playing 
back, pressing (and holding) Foot Pedal 2 instantly enables Punch In recording, while releasing the pedal stops 
recording (Punch Out).  You can press and release Foot Pedal 2 as often as you want during playback to punch in/out 
of overwrite recording. Note that the current function assignment of the sostenuto pedal is cancelled when the Pedal 
Punch In/ Out function is set to ON.
Examples for re-recording depending on the REC MODE settings
The TYROS features several different ways you can re-record or replace a specific section of an already recorded 
channel. The illustrations below indicate a variety of situations in which selected measures in an eight-measure 
phrase are re-recorded.
NORMALPressing the SONG [START/STOP] button or playing the keyboard with [SYNC START] on starts 
overwrite recording. 
FIRST KEY ONThe song plays back normally, then starts overwrite recording as soon as you play the keyboard.
PUNCH IN ATThe song plays back normally up to the indicated Punch In measure, then starts overwrite record-
ing at the specified Punch In measure (set with the corresponding LCD button).
REPLACE ALLThis deletes all data following the point at which recording is stopped.
PUNCH OUTThe song position at which recording is stopped is regarded as the Punch Out point. This setting 
maintains all data following the point at which recording is stopped.
PUNCH OUT ATActual overwrite recording continues until the specified Punch Out measure (set with the corre-
sponding LCD button), at which point recording stops and normal playback continues.

Editing Data for each Channel
To set the following parameters, call up the CHANNEL page in step #4 of the Basic Procedure on page 94.
 Quantize (set in step #2 above)........................................................................................................
Quantize lets you “clean up” or “tighten” the timing of a previously 
recorded track. For example, the following musical passage has been 
written with exact quarter-note and eighth-note values.
When actually recording the passage in real time, however, you may not 
play it with perfect accuracy.   Quantize allows you to align all the notes 
so that the timing is absolutely accurate to the specified note value.
 Delete.......................................................................................................................................
This lets you delete recorded data of the specified channel in the song data. Select the channel to be 
deleted by using the upper/lower LCD [1] - [8] buttons and press the [EXECUTE] LCD button. 
CHANNELDetermines which MIDI channel in the song data is to be quantized.
SIZESelects the quantize size (resolution). Set the Quantize size to correspond to the shortest note 
value in the channel you are working with. For example, if the data was recorded with both 
quarter notes and eighth notes, use 1/8 note for the Quantize size. If you apply a 1/4 note 
Quantize size, the eighth notes would be moved on top of the quarter notes.
Settings: 
STRENGTHDetermines how strongly the notes will be quantized. If a value less than 100% is selected, 
notes will be moved toward the specified quantization beats only by the specified amount. Ap-
plying less than 100% quantization lets you preserve some of the “human” feel in the recording.

Executes the operation for the dis-
played page. After the operation 
(with the exception of the SETUP 
page) is completed, this button 
changes to [UNDO], letting you 
restore the original data if you are 
not satisfied with the Operation 
results. The Undo function only 
has one level; only the previous 
operation can be undone.After you’ve finished creating/editing a 
song, make sure to execute the Save 
operation. The recorded song will be lost 
if you change to another song or you 
turn the power off without executing the 
save operation.
Select a menu.
Set the parameters as 
desired. 
One measure of eighth notes 
before quantizationAfter 1/8 note quantization
The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally convenient, since they 
allow you to quantize two different note values at the same time, without compromising the quanti-
zation of either one. For example, if you have both straight 1/8 notes and 1/8 note triplets recorded 
to the same channel, and you quantize to straight 1/8 notes, all notes in the channel are quantized 
to straight 1/8 notes – completely eliminating any triplet feel in the rhythm. However, if you use the 
1/8 note + 1/8 note triplet setting, both the straight and triplet notes will be quantized correctly.
