    Saving and Recalling Custom Panel Setups—Registration Memory
    Saving your Panel Setups to a Registration Memory
    1
    Set up the panel controls (such as voice, style, effects, 
    and so on) as desired.
    2Press the [MEMORY] button in the REGISTRATION 
    MEMORY section. 
    3Press the numbered [REGISTRATION MEMORY] button to which 
    you wish to memorize the panel setup.
    4Memorize various panel setups to other buttons by repeating steps 
    #1–#3.  
    5Referring to the instructions on page 53, save the eight memorized 
    buttons as a single Registration Memory bank to the User drive 
    (page 29). 
    Since the Tyros2 is such a sophisticated instrument 
    with such a variety of controls and functions—voice, 
    style, and effect settings, just to name a few—it may 
    be difficult to get a handle on them all. This is where 
    the convenient Registration Memory can help. It 
    allows you to save virtually all panel settings to a Reg-
    istration Memory setting, and then instantly recall 
    your custom panel settings by pressing a single but-
    ton.
    •For a list of Registration Memory setup parameters, refer to the separate Data List. 
    NOTE
    You can determine whether the 
    settings are to be memorized (on) 
    or not (off) for each parameter 
    group. Enter checkmarks only to 
    those parameter groups you want 
    to be memorized.
    Moves the cursor to the parameter group. You can 
    move the cursor by using the [DATA ENTRY] dial. Cancels the regis-
    tration and returns 
    to the previous dis-
    play.
    Enters a checkmark to 
    the selected box (param-
    eter group). 
    Removes the checkmark 
    from the selected box 
    (parameter group). 
    •When a checkmark is entered to the SONG box, the 
    current path (currently selected folder) of the song 
    file can be memorized to Registration Memory.
    NOTE
    The memorized button becomes red. 
    The button to which the panel setup has just been memorized lights red and the 
    button to which the panel setup was previously memorized lights greenÑthe lit 
    buttons indicating that each contains panel setup data.
    •Any panel setup previously 
    memorized to the selected 
    REGISTRATION MEMORY but-
    ton (indicator is green or red) 
    will be erased and replaced by 
    the new settings.
    CAUTION
    •To delete all eight current panel 
    setups, turn the [POWER] button 
    ON while holding the B6 key 
    (right-most B key on the key-
    board).

    Saving your Registration Memory to the User drive
    The Tyros2 allows you to save all eight memorized buttons as a single Registration Memory bank. You can save as many Regis-
    tration Memory banks as you want, up to the internal memory capacity of the Tyros2.
    For future recall, you’ll need to save your Registration Memory settings to the drive.
    In these example instructions, we’ll save them to the User drive. 
    1Memorize your custom panel settings to each of the eight Registra-
    tion Memory buttons, as described on page 52.
    It is not necessary to memorize settings for all eight buttons. If a button has no memo-
    rized data, it is unlit.
    2Press both REGIST BANK [-] [+] buttons simultaneously to call up 
    the Registration Memory Bank selection (Open/Save) display.  
    3If desired, call up the Registration Edit display and make other set-
    tings for Registration Memory, such as naming.

    Recalling a Registration Memory Setup
    1Press both REGIST BANK [-] [+] buttons simultaneously to call up the Regis-
    tration Memory Bank selection display.
    2Select a Registration Memory bank.
    Selecting a Registration Memory bank is done in the same way as selecting a voice (page 25) or style 
    (page 31).
    Once you’ve selected a Bank, you can select previous/subsequent Banks in the same folder level by 
    using the [-]/[+] buttons, even when a display other than the Registration Memory bank display is 
    shown.
    3Press one of the green-lit numbered buttons in the Registration 
    Memory section. 
    ■ Leaving certain parameters unchanged by Registration Memory 
    —Freeze function
    .....................................................................................................page 173
    Registration Memory lets you recall all the Tyros2 panel settings you made with a single button press. 
    However, there may be times that you want certain parameters and settings to remain the same, even 
    when changing Registration Memory presets. For example, you may want to switch voices or effect 
    settings while keeping the same accompaniment style. This is where the Freeze function comes in handy. 
    It lets you maintain the settings of certain parameter groups and leave them unchanged, even when 
    selecting other Registration Memory buttons.
    1Select the parameter group you want left unchanged or “frozen” (page 173).
    2Turn the [FREEZE] button on.
    3Change the Registration Memory number.

    —Registration Sequence
    ......................................................................................page 173
    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. By 
    assigning a footswitch to control Registration Sequence, you can use your foot to step through the Reg-
    istration Memory presets—in the order you’ve specified.
    The pop-up window for entering the 
    name of the Registration Memory Bank 
    appears at the bottom of the display. 
    After entering the name, press the [OK] 
    LCD button (upper [8] button) to save 
    the bank name and eight panel setups to 
    the User drive. 
    For instructions on entering names, 
    see page 76. 
    Confirm whether the cor-
    rect panel settings have 
    been called up or not.
    •When an audio song recorded by 
    the Hard Disk Recorder is regis-

    The powerful and easy-to-use Song Creator feature 
    lets you record your own keyboard performances to 
    the user drive, optional external devices, or the 
    optionally installed hard disk. With multiple channels 
    for recording, comprehensive editing features, plus 
    the use of the style and the Multi Pads, you can record 
    complex, fully orchestrated pieces of music in any 
    music style or arrangement—from solo piano and 
    church organ to rock band, big band, Latin ensemble, 
    and even a full symphony orchestra—quickly, easily 
    and all by yourself!
    ● Quick Recording
    With this method, you can quickly and easily record a song, without hav-
    ing to make detailed settings.
    ● Multi Recording
    With this method, you can record data to each channel independently,

    ■ One song—sixteen MIDI channels...................................................................................
    On the Tyros2, a single song can contain separate data for up to sixteen MIDI channels. When recording 
    your own performance, you’ll need to assign each part you play to a separate MIDI channel.
    With Quick Recording (on the previous page), the Tyros2 takes care of this chore for you—letting you 
    record a song without having to worry about which part goes to which channel. However, you’ll increase 
    your understanding of the recording process and gain greater flexibility and control by reading through 
    the sections below—which cover recording rules and characteristics, and show you how to use Multi 
    Recording as well as re-record an existing Quick Recording song.

    							Quick Guide
    59Tyros2 Owner’s Manual
    This method of recording is fundamentally different from the recording of your performance as explained on page 55. 
    In that section, you learned how to record MIDI data. Here, you’ll learn how to record the audio directly to an installed 
    hard disk drive—for pristine, absolutely noise-free audio quality. Moreover, you’ll be able to record your voice, a 
    guitar or other acoustic and electric instruments. The recording is a simple stereo file, but you can freely overdub 
    additional parts as desired. If you have a computer and audio editing software, you can also edit the sound file as 
    needed, and then re-import it to the Tyros2.
    The Tyros2 allows you to record audio files from the following sources:
    •The internal sound of the Tyros2.
    •Input from a microphone, guitar or other instrument (via the LINE IN/MIC jacks).
    •Input from another audio device, such as a CD player, MP3 player or the like (via the LINE IN/MIC jacks).
    You can record two of these sources at the same time—for example, the internal Tyros2 sound mixed with the micro-
    phone input—letting you record both your keyboard performance and singing simultaneously.
    The recorded data using this function is saved as:
    •Stereo Wave data (Here, “Wave” refers to WAV format.)
    •44.1 kHz sample rate
    •16-bit resolution
    Recording the Sound of the Tyros2
    In this section, you’ll play the keyboard and record the sound of the Tyros2 to the Hard Disk 
    Recorder. You can record a maximum of 80 minutes to one audio song. 
    1Select a voice for the RIGHT 1 part.
    For instructions on selecting a voice, see page 25.
    2Press the HARD DISK RECORDER [SETTING] button to call up the 
    Audio Setting display.
    If the Volume page above is not selected, use the [TAB] buttons to call it up. 
    3Play the keyboard and check the signal on the REC MONITOR 
    meters.
    Strictly speaking, this step is not necessary, since the record level of the internal Tyros2 
    sounds is fixed. However, when you record other sources, you’ll need to use these 
    meters to get the optimum recording level. This also serves as a fail-proof indication that 
    you have sufficient audio level for recording.
    •Before you begin, make sure 
    you have a hard disk drive prop-
    erly installed. (See page 221 for 
    instructions on installing a hard 
    disk drive.) Also, make sure 
    there is enough available space 
    on the disk for recording. Your 
    hard disk drive should have at 
    least 100 MB when the drive is 
    first recognized by this instru-
    ment. For recording, your hard 
    disk drive should have at least 
    50 MB.
    IMPORTANT
    •As a rule of thumb, 1 minute of 
    stereo recording with the Hard 
    Disk Recorder (at 44.1 kHz, 16 bit) 
    will take up roughly 10 MB of hard 
    disk space.
