Quick Guide on page 40Music Finder
This section briefly shows how to create and edit Music Finder records, and gives information about the structure and 
organization of Music Finder data. For basic instructions on using Music Finder, see the “Quick Guide.”
Music Finder Record Editing
From the [MUSIC FINDER] → RECORD EDIT display, you can call up existing records and edit them to suit your preferences. 
You can even use this to create your own Music Finder records which are saved to internal Flash ROM automatically. 
Saving Music Finder Records as a single file
All Music Finder records created and stored on the internal Flash ROM can be handled together as a single file. Keep in mind that 
individual records (panel setups) cannot be handled as separate files. 
Enter each item in the same way as 
done in the Search display. 
Clears the selected record. The deleted 
record number becomes empty.
Press this to cancel the operation and 
return to the MUSIC FINDER display.

up set when the record is selected. This is useful, 
for example, when you want to have a selected 
Style automatically be set up and ready to start 
with an Intro section.
•You can also change a preset 
record to create a new one. If you 
want to keep the original preset, 
make sure to name and register 
the edited record as a new record. 
Preset records can also be 
cleared.
•Keep in mind that the Beat setting 
made here is only for the Music 
Finder search function; this does 
not affect the actual Beat setting 
of the style itself.
•The maximum number of records 
is 2500, including preset records.

Quick Guide on page 52Registration Memory
Basic instructions on using the Registration Memory are explained in the “Quick Guide.” This section gives detailed 
information on the Freeze and Registration Sequence functions not covered in the “Quick Guide.”
■ About User Voices and Registration Memory.......................................................................................
When you memorize a panel setup to Registration Memory that uses a User voice (on the User drive or external devices), 
keep in mind that the actual User voice is not memorized to Registration Memory—only its settings are.
Registration Memory saves and recognizes a User voice as:
• The preset voice on which the User voice is based
• The parameter settings made in Voice Set
Selecting a Registration Memory number with User voice calls up the two above, and not the User voice on the drive. This 
means that the actual User voice could be changed or even deleted from the drive, and yet still be available in Registration 
Memory.
FreezeQuick Guide on page 54
This section briefly covers details on the Freeze function. For basic instructions on Freeze, refer to the “Quick Guide.”
1Call up the Registration Freeze display via [FUNCTION] → FREEZE and 
select the parameter group to be “frozen” or unchanged. 
2Turn the [FREEZE] button on. 
3You can check whether your Freeze settings are correct or not by chang-
ing the Registration Memory number.
Registration Sequence
As convenient as the Registration Memory buttons are, there may be times during a performance when you want to quickly switch 
between settings—without having to take your hands from the keyboard. The convenient Registration Sequence function lets you 
call up the presets in any order you specify, by simply using the [TAB] buttons or the pedal as you play. 
1Select a Registration Memory bank of which the sequence is programmed.
2Call up the Registration Sequence display via [FUNCTION] → REGISTRATION 
SEQUENCE. 
Select a parameter group 
to be set. 
•The settings on the Registration 
Freeze display can be saved to 
the User drive or external devices 
on the [FUNCTION] 
→ UTILITY → 
SYSTEM SETUP display as a 
System Setup file (page 196).
NOTE
These enter and remove checkmarks from the parame-
ter groups. If you want a parameter group to remain 
unchanged even when changing Registration Memory 
numbers, enter a checkmark to the appropriate box.
Settings in the Registration 
Freeze display are automati-
cally saved to Flash ROM when 
you exit from the display. How-
ever, if you turn the power off 
without exiting from this dis-
play, the settings will be lost.
CAUTION
Two functions—changing a Bank according to the order listed on the Open/
Save display and changing the Memory number according to the order deter-
mined from the Registration Sequence display—can be assigned to the 
[TAB] button and the foot pedal connected to the Tyros2.

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/LINE IN 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 be customized as well, allowing you to add any desired 
effects to your voice as you speak to your audience. Turning the [TALK] button off automatically recalls the MIC/LINE IN Setup 
for singing again.

■ 3BAND EQ
EQ (Equalizer) is a processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands which can be boosted or cut as 
required to tailor the overall frequency response. The Tyros2 features a high grade three-band digital equalizer function 
for the microphone sound.
● Hz............... Adjusts the center frequency of the corresponding band.
● dB............... Boosts or cuts the level of the corresponding band by up to 12 dB. 
VOLUMEThis determines the output volume of the microphone sound.
PANThis sets the stereo pan position of the microphone sound.
REVERB DEPTHThese set the depth of the reverb effects applied to the microphone sound.
CHORUS DEPTHThese set the depth of the chorus effects applied to the microphone sound.
TOTAL VOLUME ATTENUATORThis determines the amount of attenuation to be applied to the overall 
sound (excepting the microphone input)—allowing you to effectively adjust 
the balance between your voice and the overall instrument sound.
DSP MIC ON/OFFThis turns the DSP effect applied to the microphone sound ON or OFF.
DSP MIC TYPEThis selects the type of DSP effect to be applied to the microphone sound.

■ NOISE GATE
This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls below a specified level. This effectively cuts 
off extraneous noise, allowing the desired signal (vocal, etc.) to pass.
● SW (Switch)............. This turns Noise Gate on or off.
● TH. (Threshold)....... This adjusts the input level at which the gate begins to open. 
■ COMPRESSOR
This effect holds down the output when the input signal from the microphone exceeds a specified level. This is especially 
useful for smoothing out vocals that have widely varying dynamics. It effectively “compresses” the signal, making soft 
parts louder and loud parts softer. 
● SW (Switch)............. This turns Compressor on or off.
● TH. (Threshold)....... This adjusts the input level at which compression begins to be applied.
● RATIO........................ This adjusts the compression ratio.
● OUT............................ Adjusts the final output level.
■ VOCAL HARMONY CONTROL
The following parameters determine how the harmony is controlled. 
● VOCODER CONTROL
The Vocal Harmony effect is controlled by note data—the notes you play on the keyboard and/or the notes of the song 
data. This parameter lets you determine which notes are used to control the harmony.
● BAL (Balance)
This lets you set the balance between the lead vocal (your own voice) and Vocal Harmony. Raising this value increases the 
volume of the Vocal Harmony and decreases that of the lead vocal. When this is set to LH, only the lead vocal is output. 
● MODE (Vocal Harmony mode)
All of the Vocal Harmony types fall into one of three modes which produce harmony in different ways. The harmony effect 
is dependent on the selected Vocal Harmony mode, and this parameter determines how the harmony is applied to your 
voice. The three modes are described below.
● CHORD
The following parameters determine which data in a recorded song is used for chord detection. 
● Vocal Range
Set this to obtain the most natural vocal harmony, depending on your voice. 
■ MIC/LINE IN (Microphone)
The following parameters determine how the microphone sound is controlled.
SONG CHANNELMUTE/PLAY
OFF/1–16When set to “MUTE,” the channel selected below is muted (turned off) during keyboard perfor-
mance or song playback.
When set to “OFF,” song data control over harmony is turned off. When set to one of the values 
1–16, note data (played from a song on disk or external MIDI sequencer) contained on the corre-
sponding channel is used to control the harmony.
KEYBOARDOFF
UPPER
LOWERKeyboard control over harmony is turned off.
Notes played to the right of the split point (page 158) control the harmony.
Notes played to the left of the split point (page 158) control the harmony.
VOCODERThe harmony notes are determined by the notes you play on the keyboard and/ or song data. 
CHORDALThe harmony notes are determined by the following three types of chord: chords played in the chord section of the 
keyboard (with the [ACMP] turned on), chords played in the LEFT voice section of the keyboard (with the [ACMP] 
turned off and the [LEFT] turned on), and chords contained in song data for controlling the harmony. (Not available 
if the song does not contain any chord data.)
AUTOWhen the [ACMP] or [LEFT] is set to ON and if chord data exists in the song, the mode is automatically set to 
CHORDAL. In all other cases, the mode is set to VOCODER. 
OFFChords are not detected from the song data. 
XFChords of XF format are used for the Vocal Harmony. 
1–16Chords are detected from note data in the specified song channel. 
NormalNormal setting
LowSetting for lower voice. This setting is also appropriate for growling and shouting.
HighSetting for higher voice. This setting is also appropriate for singing close to the microphone.
MUTEWhen set to OFF, the microphone sound is turned off.
VOLUMEAdjusts the output volume of the microphone sound.

cutoff frequency (page 92). 
PORTAMENTO TIMEPortamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from 
the first note played on the keyboard to the next. The Portamento Time 
determines the pitch transition time. Higher values result in a longer 
pitch change time. Setting this to “0” results in no effect. This parameter 
is available when the selected keyboard part is set to Mono (page 87). 
PITCH BEND RANGEDetermines the range of the PITCH BEND wheel for each keyboard 
part. The range is from “0” to “12” with each step corresponding to one 
semitone.
OCTAVEDetermines the range of the pitch change in octaves, over two octaves 
up or down for each keyboard part. The value set here is added to the 
setting via the [OCTAVE] button.
TUNINGDetermines the pitch of each keyboard part.
TRANSPOSEAllows the pitch to be transposed up or down in semitone increments. 
Setting this to “MASTER” transposes the overall sound of the instru-
ment, while “SONG” transposes song playback, and “KEYBOARD” 
transposes the keyboard pitch, as well as that of style playback and the 
Multi Pads (since these are also affected by keyboard play in the left-
hand section).

•When changing the rhythm/per-
cussion voices (drum kits, etc.) of 
the style and song from the 
VOICE parameter, the detailed 
settings related to the drum voice 
are reset, and in some cases you 
may be unable to restore the origi-
nal sound. In the case of song 
playback, you can restore the orig-
inal sound by returning to the 
beginning of the song and playing 
back from that point. In the case of 
style play, you can restore the 
original sound by selecting the 
same style again.
NOTE
•As described at left, in addition to 
the Master Transpose setting, 
there are two other transpose con-
trols: Keyboard Transpose and 
Song Transpose. These can be 
used to match both the song and 
your keyboard performance to a 
certain key. For example, let’s say 
you wish to both play and sing 
along with a certain recorded 
song. The song data is in F, but 
you feel most comfortable singing 
in D, and you are accustomed to 
playing the keyboard part in C. To 
match up the keys, set the Master
