52 Quick Guide Tyros2 Owner’s Manual Reference on page 173 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). NOTE
Saving and Recalling Custom Panel Setups—Registration Memory Quick Guide 53Tyros2 Owner’s Manual 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. ■ Calling up Registration Memory numbers in order —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.

Recording Your Performances and Creating Songs—Song Recording Quick Guide 57Tyros2 Owner’s Manual ■ 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. Multi Recording 1Press the SONG CONTROL [REC] button and the [STOP] button simulta- neously to prepare a blank song (“New Song”) to the Memory area for record- ing (shown above). 2While holding the [REC] button, select the channel to be recorded and assign the part to the selected channel on the pop-up window that appears at the bottom of the LCD display. ● Recording method and default part settings Quick Recording Multi Recording When record- ing a new song:All channels are automat- ically assigned for re- cording, with each channel assigned a spe- cific part. (See chart at left.)Channels to be recorded must be enabled for record- ing manually. However, parts are automatically as- signed to MIDI channels, as shown in the chart at left. When re-re- cording an al- ready recorded song:The channel/part assign- ments made in the origi- nal recording are maintained.Channels to be recorded must be enabled for record- ing manually.

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. NOTE Reference on page 135 Recording Audio to the Tyros2—Hard Disk Recorder
