Installing an Optional Hard Disk
By installing an optional hard disk drive to the Tyros2, you can vastly expand the data storage capacity—letting you 
use the Hard Disk Recorder function or create a large library of your important data. The hard disk used must be a 
2.5-inch IDE-compatible; however, not all such drives may be installable.
Before following the steps below, make sure you have an appropriate hard disk drive, Phillips screwdriver 
and the included four screws.
1Turn the Tyros2’s power off, and disconnect the AC power cord. Also, make sure to 
disconnect the keyboard from any other external devices.
2Turn the Tyros2 face down on a blanket or some soft surface, giving you direct access 
to the bottom of the instrument. 
3Remove the four screws from the cover. 
4Remove the screw from the hard disk cover inside.
•It is recommended that you wear gloves to protect your hands from 
metallic projections on optional units and other components. Touching 
leads or connectors with bare hands may cause finger cuts, and may 
also result in poor electrical contact or electrostatic damage.
•Handle the optional hard disk unit with care. Dropping or subjecting 
them to any kind of shock may cause damage or result in a malfunction.
•Be careful of static electricity. Static electricity discharge can damage 
the IC chips on the hard disk or the instrument. Before you handle the 
optional hard disk, to reduce the possibility of static electricity, touch the 
metal parts other than the painted area or a ground wire on the devices 
that are grounded.
•Do not touch the exposed metal parts in the circuit board. Touching these 
parts may result in a faulty contact.
•Be careful not to misplace any of the screws since all of them are used.
•Do not use any screws other than what are installed on the instrument 
and included. •Before beginning installation, switch off the power to the Tyros2 and con-
nected peripherals, and unplug them from the power outlet. Then remove 
all cables connecting the Tyros2 to other devices. (Leaving the power 
cord connected while working can result in electric shock. Leaving other 
cables connected can interfere with work.)
•Be careful not to drop any screws inside the instrument during installa-
tion (this can be prevented by keeping the optional units and cover away 
from the instrument while attaching). If this does happen, be sure to 
remove the screw(s) from inside the unit before turning the power on. 
Loose screws inside the instrument can cause improper operation or 
serious damage. If you are unable to retrieve a dropped screw, consult 
your Yamaha dealer for advice.
•Install the optional units carefully as described in the procedure below. 
Improper installation can cause shorts which may result in irreparable 
damage and pose a fire hazard.
•Do not disassemble, modify, or apply excessive force to board areas and 
connectors on optional hard disk units. Bending or tampering with 
boards and connectors may lead to electric shock, fire, or equipment 
failures.
NOTE
WARNINGCAUTION
•Hard disk drives thicker than 12.7 mm cannot be installed to the Tyros2.
•For information on the hard disk recommendations, ask your nearest Yamaha 
representative or an authorized distributor listed at the end of this owner’s 
manual. Install a hard disk at your own risk. Yamaha will not be held responsi-
ble for any damage or injury resulting from improper installation or the use of 
a hard disk other than one of the types recommended by Yamaha.

5Attach the hard disk unit to the hard disk cover using the included four screws.
6Replace the hard disk drive and cover (included with the hard disk) by fitting it into the 
Tyros2 as shown in the illustration. 
7Attach the hard disk cover with the screw removed in step #4.
8Replace the cover and attach it with the four screws removed in step 
#3.
9Check that the installed hard disk is functioning properly. 
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.
Make sure not to 
bend the pins. These four pins are unused.
If the HD drive tab appears on the 
Open/Save display, the hard disk is 
OK. If the drive has multiple parti-
tions, these will be shown as different 
HD drive tabs in the display.
• If you have installed the hard disk that 
was once used for the PSR-9000/
9000Pro/Tyros and turn the Tyros2’s 
power on, you can immediately view 
the files on the hard disk and use the 
song files from the PSR-9000/
9000Pro/Tyros. However, to properly 
use the style, Multi Pad, and Registra-
tion Memory files from the PSR-9000/
9000Pro/Tyros, you will need to con-
vert the data using a computer and the 
File Converter software (available for 
free download on the Tyros2 website).

Installing the Optional DIMMs
Installing optional DIMMs to the Tyros2 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 Tyros2.
■ Compatible DIMMs ....................................................................................................................
The Tyros2 does not necessarily support all commercially available DIMMs. Yamaha cannot guarantee operation of 
DIMMs that you purchase. Before purchasing DIMMs, please consult your Yamaha dealer, or an authorized Yamaha 
distributor (see list at end of the Owner’s Manual) for advice, or see the following page:
http://music.yamaha.com/tyros2
■ DIMM Type and DIMM Configuration .......................................................................................
•Yamaha recommends that you purchase DIMMs that conform to the JEDEC* standard. Please be aware, however, that 
conformance to this standard does not constitute a guarantee that the DIMMs will operate correctly on the Tyros2. 
*JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) sets standards for terminal configurations within electronic devices.
•Use only 168-pin DIMMs of 64, 128, 256 or 512 MB capacity (synchronized DRAM; PC100 or PC133).
•Use only DIMMs that have a height 38.2 mm or less.
•When installing DIMMs, make sure to install them in a matched pair of the same capacity. You cannot install only one 
module and leave the second memory socket open. Also make sure each DIMM in the pair is of the same manufacturer 
and the same type. DIMMs of different makers and configurations may not work together.
•When purchasing DIMMs, make sure that the DIMM design does not utilize more than 18 memory chips per module. 
(DIMMs comprised of more than 18 chips do not operate correctly on the Tyros2.)
■ DIMM Installation ......................................................................................................................
Before following the steps below, make sure you have appropriate DIMMs and a Phillips screwdriver.
1Turn the Tyros2’s power off, and disconnect the AC power cord. Also, 
make sure to disconnect the keyboard from any other external devices.
2Turn the Tyros2 face down on a blanket or some soft surface, giving 
you direct access to the bottom of the instrument. 
3Remove the four screws from the cover. 
•Do not touch the exposed metal parts in the circuit 
board. Touching these parts may result in a faulty con-
tact.
•Be careful not to misplace any of the screws since all 
of them are used.
• Be careful of static electricity. Static electricity dis-
charge can damage the DIMMs or the instrument. 
Before you handle the DIMMs, to reduce the possibil-
ity of static electricity, touch some unpainted metal 
surface or a ground wire on a device that is grounded.
•Do not use any screws other than what are installed on 
the instrument. •Before beginning installation, switch off the power to the Tyros2 and connected peripher-
als, and unplug them from the power outlet. Then remove all cables connecting the Tyros2 
to other devices. (Leaving the power cord connected while working can result in electric 
shock. Leaving other cables connected can interfere with work.)
•Be careful not to drop any screws inside the instrument during installation (this can be 
prevented by keeping the optional units and cover away from the instrument while attach-
ing). If this does happen, be sure to remove the screw(s) from inside the unit before turning 
the power on. Loose screws inside the instrument can cause improper operation or seri-
ous damage. If you are unable to retrieve a dropped screw, consult your Yamaha dealer for 
advice.
•Install the optional units carefully as described in the procedure below. Improper installa-
tion can cause shorts which may result in irreparable damage and pose a fire hazard.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEMPOSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
When using a mobile phone, noise is pro-
duced.Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the Tyros2 may produce interference. To 
prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away from the Tyros2.
No sound results.•The RIGHT 1/RIGHT 2/RIGHT 3/LEFT voice volume settings on the BALANCE 
pop-up window could be set too low. Make sure the voice volumes are set at appro-
priate levels (page 36).
•The Local Control function could be turned off. Make sure Local Control is turned 
on (page 215).
•The [MASTER VOLUME] controls or foot volume are turned all the way down. 
Set the [MASTER VOLUME] controls and foot volume to a reasonable listening 
level. 
•Are the desired keyboard parts turned on? ([PART ON/OFF] button—page 80)
•
Are the desired parts or channels turned on? ([CHANNEL ON/OFF] button—page 37)
•A pair of headphones is plugged into the PHONES jack. Unplug the headphones.
•A plug is inserted in the LOOP SEND jacks. Unplug the LOOP SEND jacks.
•Is the Footswitch connected to the appropriate connector (page 16)?
•The [FADE IN/OUT] button (page 154) is on and has reached the end of its dura-
tion, muting the sound. Press the [FADE IN/OUT] button so that its indicator goes 
out.
•Check whether the external speaker is connected properly.
•Has an empty voice been selected from the Custom Voice Bank (page 102) or is the 
link to the Custom Voice Bank broken (page 108)?
The voice selected from the Open/Save dis-
play will not be sounded.Check whether or not the selected part is turned on (page 80). 
Not all simultaneously-played notes sound.You are probably exceeding the maximum polyphony of the Tyros2. The Tyros2 can 
play up to 128 notes at the same time—including voice RIGHT 2, voice RIGHT 3, 
voice LEFT, style, song, and multi pad notes. When the maximum polyphony is 
exceeded, the earliest played notes will stop sounding, letting the latest played notes 
sound. This is referred to as “last-note priority.” Style playback seems to “skip” when the 
keyboard is played.
The style or song does not play back even 
when pressing the [START/STOP] or 
[PLAY/PAUSE] button.Make sure the MIDI clock is set to “INTERNAL” (page 215).
The Multi Pads do not play back, even when 
one of the MULTI PAD buttons is pressed.
The style does not start, even when Synchro 
Start is in standby condition and a key is 
pressed.You may be trying to start style by playing a key in the right-hand range of the key-
board. To start the style with Synchro Start, make sure to play a key in the left-hand 
(chord) range of the keyboard. 
Only the rhythm channel of style plays.Make sure the [ACMP] is turned on. 
Certain notes sound at the wrong pitch.Make sure that the scale tuning value for those notes is set to “0” (page 187).
Style chords are recognized regardless of 
the split point or where chords are played on 
the keyboard.Check whether the fingering mode is set to “Full Keyboard” or not. If the Full Key-
board fingering mode is selected, chords are recognized over the entire range of the 
keyboard, irrespective of the split point setting.
Song playback does not start.•In the case a song to which write-protect has been applied (“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. 
•In case of a song to which write-protect has been applied (“Prot. 2 Edit” is shown 
at the upper left of the song name), the original file name may have been changed. 
Rename the file with the original file name (so that “Prot.2 Orig” is shown at the 
upper left of the song name).
•In case of a song to which write-protect has been applied (“Prot. 2 Edit” is shown 
at the upper left of the song name), the file icon may have been changed. songs to 
which write-protect has been applied cannot be played back when the file icon of 
the original has been changed.
•MIDI Clock may be set to “EXTERNAL.” Make sure this is set to “INTERNAL” 
(page 215).
An audio song cannot be copied or cut.The audio song file name (which contains the file path, internally) may be too long. 
Shorten the song name or copy/paste to an upper folder level.
An audio song cannot to be selected in the 
Playlist, even when it contains data.If you change the file icon after adding to the Playlist, the song cannot be recognized 
from the Playlist. Add the file to the list again. 
						

							Troubleshooting
Appendix
226Tyros2 Owner’s Manual
In the Hard Disk Recorder function, an 
error message appears and audio cannot be 
recorded to the installed hard disk drive.The data on the hard disk drive is fragmented and cannot be used as is. Since there is 
no Defrag function in the Hard Disk Recorder, the drive can only be defragmented 
by formatting it. To do this, first back up the data to a computer by using the USB 
storage mode (page 67), then format the drive, and finally copy the data back to the 
drive (using the USB storage mode again). Performing this copy/restore operation 
effectively defragments the drive, allowing you to use it again.
The Vocal Harmony effect sounds distorted 
or out-of-tune.Your vocal microphone may be picking up extraneous sounds, such as the style sound 
from the Tyros2. In particular, bass sounds can cause mistracking of the Vocal Har-
mony. To remedy this:
•Sing as closely to the microphone as possible.
•Use a directional microphone.
•Turn down the MASTER VOLUME, style volume, or song volume control.
•Separate the microphone from the external speakers as much as possible.
•Cut the Low band via the 3 Band EQ function in the MIC SETUP display (page 
177). 
When a voice is changed, the previously 
selected effect is changed.This is normal, each voice has its own suitable preset values which are automatically 
recalled when the corresponding Voice Set parameters are turned on (page 188).
There is a slight difference in sound quality 
between notes played on the keyboard.This is normal and is a result of the Tyros2’s sampling system. 
Some voices have a looping sound.
Some noise or vibrato is noticeable at higher 
pitches, depending upon the voice. 
Some voices jump an octave in pitch when 
played in the upper or lower registers.Some voices have a pitch limit which, when reached, causes this type of pitch shift. 
This is normal. 
The style chord does not change even when 
a different chord is played or the chord is 
not recognized.•Are you sure you’re playing on the left-hand section of the keyboard?
•You may be using single-finger type fingering (page 153).
The displayed disk free area value does not 
coincide with the actual value.The displayed value is an approximate value.
Appropriate harmony notes are not pro-
duced by the Vocal Harmony feature.Make sure you are using the appropriate method to specify the harmony notes for the 
current Vocal Harmony mode. See page 178. 
The voice produces excessive noise.Certain voices may produce noise, depending on the Filter (Harmonic Content/
Brightness) or EQ settings of the Mixing Console Filter. This is unavoidable due to 
the sound generation and processing system of the Tyros2. To avoid noise, change the 
above mentioned settings. 
The sound is distorted or noisy.•The MASTER VOLUME control may be turned up too high.
•This may be caused by the effects. Try cancelling all unnecessary effects, especially 
distortion-type effects.
•Some filter resonance settings in the Voice Set display can result in distorted sound.
•Is the gain of the Low band set too high in the Master EQ display (Mixing Con-
sole—page 184)? 
A strange “flanging” or “doubling” sound 
occurs.•Are the RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 parts set to “ON”, for example, and both parts set 
to play the same voice?
•If you are routing the MIDI OUT on the Tyros2 to a sequencer and back to the MIDI 
IN, you may want to set Local Control (page 215) to “off” to avoid MIDI “feed-
back.”  The sound is slightly different each time the 
keys are played.
The Main display does not appear even 
when turning the power on.This may occur if a hard disk has been installed to the Tyros2. Installation of some 
hard disk units may result a long interval between turning the power on and appear-
ance of the Main display.
The function assigned to the pedal does 
not operate correctly.You can assign some functions to the pedal—punch in/out of Song/Hard Disk 
Recorder (pages 122, 143), Registration Sequence (page 173) and many functions 
from the Function display (page 189). If you assign multiple functions to the pedal, 
the priority is:
Punch in/out of Song or Hard Disk Recorder > Registration Sequence > Functions

Glossary
A
Auto Accompaniment (Style playback)
A function that generates pre-programmed rhythm, bass and 
chord backing in response to specific notes/chords played (or 
received via MIDI). 
C
Chorus
One of the Effect types. 
Depending on the particular chorus type and parameters, this 
can make a voice sound “larger,” as if several identical instru-
ments were playing in unison, or it can give a voice greater 
warmth and depth.
Clock
[1]
A unit of note resolution for MIDI Sequence data. 
The sequencer determines the playback position of the Song 
or Pattern (MIDI sequence data) by using the following three 
parameters: Measure, Beat, and Clock.
[2]
Also referred to as “MIDI Clock,” defined as System Real-
time Message in MIDI. This message is transmitted with a 
fixed interval (24 times per 1/4 note) to synchronize con-
nected MIDI instruments. 
On MIDI Sequencers, you can select whether the instrument’s 
internal clock will be used as the Timing Clock, or external 
Timing Clock messages received via MIDI IN will be used. 
Control Change
A set of MIDI Channel messages that allow for control of a 
wide variety of sound parameters, including modulation, pan, 
volume, expression, brightness, effect depth, and others. 
These can be adjusted using physical controllers, such as the 
Modulation Wheel and the Foot Controller.
D
Depth
Refers to the amount or degree to which a parameter setting 
changes the original sound. 
E
Effect
On the Tyros2, an “Effect” is a processing block that alters the 
sound output from the tone generator block of the instrument, 
using DSP (Digital Signal Processing) circuitry to change the 
sound in various ways. The Tyros2 provides two types of 
effects: the DSP effects described above (such as Reverb, 
Chorus, DSP and DSP variation) and other effects (such as 
Harmony/Echo , Initial Touch, Sustain, and Poly/Mono). Event List
A useful Song/Style/Multi Pad 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. 
F
Factory Reset
Refers to the original, factory-programmed settings of User 
drive memory, loaded to the instrument before it is shipped.
Flash ROM
ROM that can be overwritten allowing you to store your own 
original data, unlike conventional ROM. 
G
Gate Time
In sequence recording, this determines the actual length of 
time a note sounds. 
When entering the note events in Step Recording of the MIDI 
sequencer, Gate time is determined as a percent value of the 
step time. A setting of approximately 50% produces a staccato 
sound, values between about 80% and 90% produce normal 
note length, and a value of 100% will produce a slur. 
L
Left-hand section of the keyboard
The section of keys to the left of the split point. Besides being 
used to play the LEFT voice, they can also be used to indicate/
play chords for style playback as well as the Harmony and 
Vocal Harmony effects.
LFO
An abbreviation for low frequency oscillator, which generates 
a low frequency signal on the tone generator block. The signal 
from the LFO can be used to modulate the pitch, filter, and 
amplitude. Modulating the pitch produces a vibrato effect, 
modulating the filter produces a wah effect, and modulating 
the amplitude produces a tremolo effect. 
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] button. 
N
Note On/Off
MIDI messages which represent notes played on a keyboard 
or other instrument. Pressing a key produces a Note On mes-
sage, and a Note Off message is produced when the key is 
released.
Note On message includes a specific note number which cor-
responds to the key which is pressed, plus a velocity value 
based on how hard the key is struck.

P
Path
Refers to the location of the folders and files currently indi-
cated on the LCD display. 
Pop-up window
A “small” window that appears on the LCD display tempo-
rarily. 
Program Change
A MIDI channel message that determines the voice number 
by specifying the program number. Combining this with Bank 
Select messages allows you to select any of the voices via 
MIDI.
Preset
Preset Data supplied with the internal memory of the Tyros2 
shipped from the factory. There are various types of Preset 
data, such as Preset voices, Preset songs, Preset waves—as 
opposed to User data, which is your own originally created 
data. 
R
RAM
An acronym for Random Access Memory that allows both 
reading and writing of data. This can be used for the Edit 
Buffer and the data created by editing or recording. 
Reverb
Also called “reverberation,” this refers to the sound energy 
remaining in a room or closed space after the original sound 
stops. Similar to yet different from echo, reverb is the indirect, 
diffuse sound of reflections from the walls and ceiling that 
accompany the direct sound. The characteristics of this indi-
rect sound depends on the size of the room or space and the 
materials and furnishings in the room. Reverb Effect types use 
digital signal processing to simulate these characteristics.
Right-hand section of the keyboard
The section of keys to the right of the split point, used to play 
the RIGHT 1–3 voices.
Revoice
A function that changes the voice for each part or channel of 
the selected style or song to one of the specially created voices 
of the Tyros2. 
ROM
An acronym for “Read Only Memory.” 
This type of memory can be read from but not written to or 
erased. All preset data supplied with the instrument is con-
tained on ROM. 
S
Song Position
Refers to the place within song data at which playback is 
started, being done, or where notes are input in step recording. 
This is indicated in units of Measure (Bar), Beat, Clock.
U
Upper
A keyboard part played on the right side of the keyboard from 
the split point for the voices instead of RIGHT 1, 2, and 3.
User
Refers to the data you create via various functions of the 
Tyros2. 
There are various types of User data, such as User voices, 
User songs, User waves—as opposed to Preset data, which is 
factory-programmed data built into the Tyros2.
V
Velocity
A parameter within the MIDI Note On message that conveys 
the force of the note. 
Vibrato
A quavering, vibrating sound that is produced by regularly 
modulating the pitch of the voice.
