MIDI
Built into the rear panel of the TYROS are two sets of MIDI terminals (MIDI IN A/B, MIDI OUT A/B), and a USB terminal. 
The MIDI Functions give you a comprehensive, powerful set of tools for expanding your music recording and performance 
possibilities. This section explains what MIDI is, and what it can do, as well as how you can use MIDI on your TYROS.
No doubt you have heard the terms “acoustic instrument” and “digital instrument.” In the world today, these are the two main categories 
of instruments. Let’s consider an acoustic piano and a classical guitar as representative acoustic instruments. They are easy to under-
stand. With the piano, you strike a key, and a hammer inside hits some strings and plays a note. With the guitar, you directly pluck a 
string and the note sounds. But how does a digital instrument go about playing a note?
As shown in the illustration above, in an electronic instrument the sampling note (previously recorded note) stored in the tone generator 
section (electronic circuit) is played based on information received from the keyboard. So then what is the information from the key-
board that becomes the basis for note production?
For example, let’s say you play a “C” quarter note using the grand piano sound on the TYROS keyboard. Unlike an acoustic instrument 
that puts out a resonated note, the electronic instrument puts out information from the keyboard such as “with what voice,” “with which 
key,” “about how strong,” “when was it pressed” and “when was it released.” Then each piece of information is changed into a number 
value and sent to the tone generator. Using these numbers as a basis, the tone generator plays the stored sampling note. 
 Example of Keyboard Information
As described above, your keyboard performance and panel operations such as voice selection are handled as MIDI events. All the data 
of Style, Song, and Multi Pad played back or recorded consist of MIDI messeages.
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) allows electronic musical instruments to communicate with each other, by sending and 
receiving compatible Note, Control Change, Program Change and various other types of MIDI data, or messages. The TYROS can 
control a MIDI device by transmitting note related data and various types of controller data. The TYROS can be controlled by the 
incoming MIDI messages which automatically determine tone generator mode, select MIDI channels, voices and effects, change param-
eter values and of course play the voices specified for the various parts. MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Channel 
messages and System messages. 
Below is an explanation of the various types of MIDI messages which the TYROS can receive/transmit.
 Channel Messages
The TYROS is an electronic instrument that can handle 32 channels (16 channels x 2 ports). This is usually expressed as “it can 
play 32 instruments at the same time.” Channel messages transmit information such as Note ON/OFF, Program Change, for each 
of the 32 channels.
 System Messages
This is data that is used in common by the entire MIDI system. System messages include messages like System Exclusive Messages 
that transmit data unique to each instrument manufacturer and Realtime Messages that control the MIDI device.
Voice number (with what voice)01 (grand piano)
Note number (with which key)60 (C3)
Note on (when was it pressed) and 
note off (when was it released)Timing expressed numerically (quarter note)
Velocity (about how strong)120 (strong)
Message Name TYROS Operation/Panel Setting
Note ON/OFF Messages which are generated when the keyboard is played. Each message includes a 
specific note number which corresponds to the key which is pressed, plus a velocity 
value based on how hard the key is played.
Program Change Voice selecting
Control Change Volume, panpot (Mixing Console), etc.

MIDI performance data is assigned to one of sixteen MIDI channels. Using 
these channels, 1 - 16, the performance data for sixteen different instrument 
parts can be simultaneously sent over one MIDI cable. 
Think of the MIDI channels as TV channels. Each TV station transmits its 
broadcasts over a specific channel.Your home TV set receives many different 
programs simultaneously from several TV stations and you select the appro-
priate channel to watch the desired program. 
MIDI operates on the same basic principle. The transmitting instrument sends MIDI data on a specific MIDI 
channel (MIDI Transmit Channel) via a single MIDI cable to the receiving instrument. If the receiving instru-
ment’s MIDI channel (MIDI Receive Channel) matches the Transmit Channel, the receiving instrument will 
sound according to the data sent by the transmitting instrument. 
For example, several parts or channels can be transmit-
ted simultaneously, including the style data (as shown at 
right).
As you can see, it is essential to determine which data is 
to be sent over which MIDI channel when transmitting 
MIDI data (page 146). The TYROS also allows you to 
determine how the received data is played back (page 
147).
Though MIDI is designed to handle up to sixteen chan-
nels, the use of separate MIDI “ports” allows for even 
more.  The TYROS has two MIDI ports, allowing simul-
taneous use of thirty-two channels.
MIDI messages (events) described above are transmitted or received via two sets of MIDI terminals (MIDI A 
IN/OUT, MIDI B IN/OUT) or the USB connector.
 MIDI INReceives MIDI data from another MIDI device. Two ports (A, B) are provided and each can receive 
MIDI messages of 16 channels.
 MIDI OUTTransmits the TYROS’ keyboard information as MIDI data to another MIDI device. Two ports (A, 
B) are provided and each can transmit MIDI messages of 16 channels.
 USBTransmits and receives MIDI data to and from a computer. Both MIDI ports are accessable over 
USB.
To transmit/receive MIDI data between two devices, a proper cable connection is needed.  You can connect the 
TYROS to another device by MIDI cables (using the MIDI terminals) or by a USB cable (using the USB 
connectors).  (See page 58.)

This section covers basic information on data compatibility: whether or not other MIDI devices can playback the data 
recorded by TYROS, and whether or not the TYROS can playback commercially available song data or song data created 
for other instruments or on a computer. Depending on the MIDI device or data characteristics, you may be able to play 
back the data without any problem, or you may have to perform some special operations before the data can be played 
back. If you run into problems playing back data, please refer to the information below.
Sequence format
“Sequence format” refers to the way in which MIDI data (for playback, such as songs and styles) is stored to disk. A 
number of popular sequence formats described below are compatible with the TYROS. Playback is only possible when 
the sequence format of the disk matches that of the MIDI device.
 SMF (Standard MIDI File)
This is the most common sequence format. Standard MIDI Files are generally available as one of two types: Format 0 
or Format 1. Many MIDI devices are compatible with Format 0, and most commercially available software is recorded 
as Format 0. The TYROS is compatible with both Format 0 and Format 1. Song data recorded on the TYROS is 
automatically recorded as SMF Format 0.
 ESEQ
This sequence format is compatible with many of Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the Clavinova series instruments. 
This is a common format used with various Yamaha software. The TYROS is compatible with ESEQ.
 XF......................................................................... See page 8.
 STYLE FILE......................................................... See page 8.
Voice allocation format
With MIDI, voices are assigned to specific numbers, called “program numbers.” The numbering standard (order of voice 
allocation) is referred to as the “voice allocation format.” Voices may not play back as expected unless the voice allocation 
format of the song data matches that of the compatible MIDI device used for playback.

The TYROS gives you a set of comprehensive, flexible MIDI controls.  It also gives you a set of ten pre-programmed 
templates that let you instantly and easily reconfigure the instrument to match your particular MIDI application or external 
device.  Call up these templates from the [FUNCTION] → MIDI display (next page).
Template name Descriptions
ALL PARTSTransmits all parts including the keyboard parts (RIGHT1, 2, 3, LEFT). 
KBD & STYLEBasically the same as “ALL PARTS” with the exception of how keyboard parts are managed. 
The right-hand parts are handled as a “UPPER” instead of RIGHT1 - 3 and the left-hand part is 
handled as a “LOWER.”
Master KBD1In this setting, the TYROS functions as a “master” keyboard, playing and controlling one or 
more connected tone generators or other devices (such as a computer/sequencer).
Master KBD2Basically the same as “Master KBD1” above, with the exception that Aftertouch messages are 
not transmitted.
Clock Ext.A Playback or recording (Song, Style, Multi Pad, etc.) synchronizes with an external MIDI clock 
instead of the TYROS’ internal clock. This template is called up when you wish to set the tempo 
on the MIDI device connected to the TYROS. Playback or Recording of the TYROS synchro-
nizes with an external clock received via MIDI A. 
MIDI Accord1MIDI accordions allow you to transmit MIDI data and play connected tone generators from the 
keyboard and bass/chord buttons of the accordion.  This template lets you play melodies from 
the keyboard and control style playback on the TYROS with the left-hand buttons.
MIDI Accord2Basically the same as “MIDI Accord1” above, with the exception that the chord/bass notes you 
play with your left hand on the MIDI Accordion are recognized also as MIDI note events. 
MIDI Pedal1MIDI pedal units allow you play connected tone generators with your feet (especially convenient 
for playing single note bass parts).  This template lets you play/control the chord root in style 
playback with a MIDI pedal unit (connected to MIDI B only).
MIDI Pedal2This template lets you play the bass part for style playback by using a MIDI pedal unit (connect-
ed to MIDI B only).
MIDI OFFNo MIDI signals are sent or received.

MIDI System Settings
The explanations here apply when you call up the SYSTEM page in step #5 of the Basic Procedure on page 145.
 Local Control......................................................................................................................................................
Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When Local Control is set to “ON,” the keyboard of the TYROS controls its own (local) 
internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. If you set Local to “OFF,” the keyboard 
and controllers are internally disconnected from the TYROS’ tone generator section so that no sound is output when you play the 
keyboard or use the controllers. For example, this allows you to use an external MIDI sequencer to play the TYROS’ internal voices, 
and use the TYROS keyboard to record notes to the external sequencer and/or play an external tone generator.
 Clock setting, etc..............................................................................................................................................
 CLOCK
Determines whether the TYROS is controlled by its own internal clock or a MIDI clock signal received from an external device. 
INTERNAL is the normal Clock setting when the TYROS is being used alone. If you are using the TYROS with an external sequencer, 
MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and you want to synchronize it to that device, set this parameter to the appropriate setting: MIDI 
A, MIDI B, USB 1, or USB 2.  Make sure that the external device is connected properly (e.g., to the TYROS’ MIDI IN terminal), and 
that it is properly transmitting a MIDI clock signal.
 TRANSMIT  CLOCK
Turns MIDI clock transmission on or off. When set to OFF, no MIDI clock or START/STOP data is transmitted even if song or style is 
played back. 
 RECEIVE TRANSPOSE
Determines whether the TYROS’ transpose setting (page 82) is applied to the note events the TYROS received via MIDI or not. 
 START/STOP
Determines whether incoming FA (start) and FC (stop) messages affect song or style playback. 
 Message Switch ......................................................................................................................................................
 SYS/EX.
The “Tx” setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI system exclusive messages on or off.
The “Rx” setting turns MIDI reception and recognition of MIDI system exclusive messages generated by external equipment on or off.
 CHORD SYS/EX.
The “Tx” setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI chord exclusive data (chord detect — root and type) on or off.
The “Rx” setting turns MIDI reception and recognition of MIDI chord exclusive data generated by external equipment on or off. 
MIDI Transmit Settings
The explanations here apply to when you call up the TRANSMIT page in step #5 of the Basic Procedure on page 145. This determines which 
parts will send MIDI data and over which MIDI channel the data will be sent.
The dots corresponding to each 
channel (1-16) flash briefly whenever 
any data is transmitted on the chan-
nel(s).
Turns transmission of the specified data type (MIDI message) 
on or off. See below and page 105 for details.
Select a channel via which the selected part will 
be transmitted.  Select the part for changing transmit 
settings. With the exception of the two 
parts below, see page 134 for details 
about the parts.
• UPPER
A keyboard part played on the right 
side of the keyboard from the split 
point for the voices instead of 
RIGHT1, 2, and 3.
• LOWER
A keyboard part played on the left 
side of the keyboard from the split 
point for the voices instead of 
LEFT. This part is not affected by 
the on/off status of the [ACMP] but-
ton. 
• If the same transmit channel is assigned 
to several different parts, the transmitted 
MIDI messages are merged to a single 
channel — resulting in unexpected 
sounds and possible glitches in the the 
connected MIDI device.

The relationship between the MIDI terminals and the USB terminal which can be used for transmitting/
receiving 32 channels (16 channels x 2 ports) of the MIDI messages is as follows:
The dots corresponding to each 
channel (1 - 16) flash briefly when-
ever any data is received on the

Turns reception of the specified data type of the 
selected channel on or off.
Determines the part to which the received MIDI messages of 
the selected channel are assigned. With the exception of the 
two parts below, see page 134 for details about the parts.
• KEYBOARD
The received note messages control the TYROS’ key-
board performance. 
• EXTRA PART1 - 4
There are four parts specially reserved for receiving and 
playing MIDI data. Normally, these parts are not used by 
the instrument itself. The TYROS can be used as a 32-
channel multi-timbral tone generator by using these four 
parts in addition to the parts (except for the microphone 
sound) described on page 134.  Select a channel. The TYROS can 
receive MIDI messages over 32 chan-
nels (16 channels x 2 ports).

Setting the Chord Root for Style Playback via MIDI receive 
The explanations here apply when you call up the ROOT page in step #5 of the Basic Procedure on page 145. These settings let 
you determine the chord root for style playback, based on the note messages received via MIDI. 
The note on/off messages received at the channel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the root notes in the chord section. The root 
notes will be detected regardless of the [ACMP] on/off and split point settings. When several channels are simultaneously set to 
“ON,” the root note is detected from merged MIDI data received over the channels. 
Setting the Chord Type for Style Playback via MIDI receive 
The explanations here apply when you call up the CHORD DETECT page in step #5 of the Basic Procedure on page 145. These 
settings let you determine the chord type for style playback, based on the note messages received via MIDI. 
The note on/off messages received at the channel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the chord notes in the chord section. The chords 
to be detected depend on the fingering type. The chord types will be detected regardless of the [ACMP] on/off and split point 
settings. When several channels are simultaneously set to “ON,” the chord type is detected from merged MIDI data received over 
the channels.
The operation procedure is basically the same as that of the ROOT display above.  
MFC10 Settings 
The explanations here apply when you call up the MFC10 page in step #5 of the Basic Procedure on page 145. 
By connecting an optional MFC10 MIDI Foot Controller to the TYROS, you can conveniently control a wide range of operations 
and functions by using your feet — perfect for changing settings and controlling the sound while you perform live.  Different 
functions can be assigned to each of the footswitches and up to five foot controllers (optional) can be connected to the MFC10, 
for additional sound-shaping possibilities.
To assign the desired functions to the appropriate footswitches/foot controllers on the TYROS, select [FUNCTION]   
→  
 MIDI   
→  
 
EDIT  
→  
 MFC10.  Two settings (below) can be made from this display.
• Each footswitch (F00 - F29) on the MFC10 sends a note number to the TYROS, and the TYROS determines how it responds 
to (which function is executed by) that note number.
• Each foot controller on the MFC10 sends control change messages over a specific control change number to the TYROS, 
and the TYROS determines how it responds to (which parameter is changed by) that control change number.

MFC10 as set in step #4. 
7Go back to the MIDI template selection display and save the settings above to the User 
drive if necessary.
 Using a computer or another MIDI instrument instead of the MFC10...............
The following two settings on the [FUNCTION] → MIDI → EDIT → MFC10 display can be saved not 
to the MFC10 but to internal memory (flash ROM) in the TYROS as a MIDI template.
• Note number/TYROS function assignment pairs
• Control change number/TYROS parameter change assignment pairs
If you are not using an MFC10, you can have note numbers and control change messages from any other 
appropriate MIDI device (such as a computer, sequencer or master keyboard) control the TYROS.  Make 
sure to set the appropriate channel in this display for control by the external device.
Determines the MIDI port which is to be used when 
communicating with the MFC10. Here, the USB 
port (USB1, USB2) can be selected even though 
the MFC10 does not have the USB connector. This 
is because the computer can be used instead of the 
MFC10. (The computer can transmit the data equiv-
alent to the data the MFC10 transmits to the 
TYROS. For details, see the bottom of this page.)
Select “FOOT SWITCH” or 
“FOOT CONTROLLER.”
Select a footswitch number (F00 - F29) or a foot 
controller number (1 - 5) to which the function is 
assigned. 
Please note that a note number is assigned to each 
footswitch and a control change number is 
assigned to each foot controller beforehand and 
you cannot change the settings. Determines the function 
assigned to the footswitch (actu-
ally the note number), or the 
function assigned to the foot con-
troller (actually the control 
change number). 
Determines the part to which the func-
tion assigned to the foot controller in 
the row is applied. Determines the MIDI channel which is to be used 
when communicating with the MFC10. 
Transmit the settings on this 
display to the MFC10.
• See page 152 for details about the func-
tions which can be assigned to the foot-
switch or foot controller. 
• Actually the pairs of the footswitch num-
ber and the note number, the pairs of 
the foot controller number and the con-
trol change number, and the MIDI chan-
nel for communication set above are 
transmitted to the MFC10.

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.
