    ■ Data files............................................................................................................................
    The following types of data are handled by the Tyros2 as files. These can be viewed or selected 
    mainly by using the respective Open/Save display. 
    ● Voices (of musical instruments).............................................................. pages 25, 84
    ● Custom Voices................................................................................................ page 100

    ● Tex t................................................................................................................... page 115
    ● Lyrics/Text Background Picture.................................................................... page 114
    *These data types cannot be saved to the external devices individually.
    **The Music Finder feature handles all the Records including the preset and additionally created records as a single 
    file. 
    ■ File groups and folders...............................................................................................
    The file types described above are organized into “folders” and stored as such. In the case of 
    voices, the same type of instrument sounds are stored together as files in their own folders—such 
    as Piano, Strings, and Trumpet. The similarly organized buttons on the panel can be considered 
    folders as well, for the various voices and styles.
    ■ Memory Drives to which folders/files are saved...............................................
    Folders and files described above are saved to the following memory drives.
    ● PRESET drive................ The files that are pre-programmed and installed internally to the Tyros2 
    are kept here. Preset files can be loaded (called up) but cannot be re-writ-
    ten to the drive, because it uses ROM (Read Only Memory).
    ● USER drive..................... Files kept here are those containing your own original data, created or 
    edited using the various functions of the Tyros2. Since this internal drive 
    uses Flash ROM, the contents are maintained even when the power is 
    turned off.
    ● HD drive (optional)....... An optional hard disk drive can be installed to the Tyros2. Created data 
    can be saved here and recalled.
    ● USB drive (optional).... Optional USB storage devices can be connected to the Tyros2. Created 
    data can be saved here and recalled.

    Lyrics/Text Background 
    Picture cannot be created 
    from the Tyros2.

    Folder/File Operations using the Open/Save Display
    The Open/Save display is the “home base” for folder/file operations. It is from this display that you save and manage your data 
    files (as described on page 71). Since there are eleven different data types, the Tyros2 has eleven different Open/Save displays. 
    The voice selection, style selection, and song selection displays described in the Quick Guide are all Open/Save displays. This 
    section explains the Open/Save display and the basic operations in the display that are essential for using the Tyros2.
    The illustration below shows how the Open/Save display for each data type (page 71) is called up and shows the function menus 
    in the display.
    As described on page 71, you can read data from the Preset drive but you cannot write/save to it. As a result, some of the functions 
    above are not available for folders and files on the Preset drive. For details, see below.

    Creating a New Folder
    As your Tyros2 data library grows, you’ll want to organize it in various folders. This operation lets you create new folders on the 
    User, optional USB storage devices and optional Hard Disk drives. The basic procedure is described below; for a specific example 
    (using Voices), see page 29 in the Quick Guide.
    1Call up the page (path) of the Open/Save display for which you wish to 
    create a new folder.
    2Press the [FOLDER] LCD button (lower [7] button) below the LCD display 
    to call up the pop-up window for entering the folder name. 
    3Enter the name of the new folder. See page 76 for instructions on entering 
    names.
    4Press the [OK] LCD button (upper [7] button) to actually create the new 
    folder. 
    Selecting (Opening) a Folder/File
    You can select a folder/file in two ways—by using the LCD letter buttons or by using the [DATA ENTRY] dial. 
    •On the User drive, folder directo-
    ries can contain up to four levels. 
    The maximum total number of 
    files and folders which can be 
    stored is 2,960, but this may differ 
    depending on the length of the file 
    names. 
    On the User/USB/HD, the maxi-
    mum number of files and folders 
    which can be stored in a folder will 
    be 500.

    Changing the Open/Save Display View
    The Open/Save display actually has two different view types. One is Direct Selection, which we’ve seen up until this point. The 
    other is Number Input, which lets you open files according to their numbers. Switch between the two types by pressing the upper 
    [7] LCD button.
    From the Direct Selection type, you select the desired file directly by pressing the appropriate LCD letter button. The Number 
    Input type, on the other hand, lets you call up the desired file by entering the appropriate file number (see below). Since the Tyros2 
    has many files spread out over several pages, Number Input may be quicker and more convenient—providing you know the 
    number of the file.
    ■ Number Input type—Entering numbers...................................................................
    To select voice number 128, for example, press the [1], [2] and [8] buttons in sequence as shown 
    below, and press the [ENTER] button. Entering one- or two-digit numbers is done in the same way.
    When you select the next or previous file, press the [1]–[6] buttons.

    ■ Number Input type—Memorizing paths ...................................................................
    The location of the folders and files currently indicated on the LCD display is referred to 
    as a “path.” The Open/Save display for songs and styles lets you memorize the current 
    path to one of the panel buttons. Even if your data is scattered across the drive in a com-
    plex hierarchy of folders and paths, you can instantly call up a specific file—no matter 
    how deeply hidden—with a single button-press.
    In the example instructions below, the Open/Save display for songs is used.
    1First, select the Number Input type, then call up the path to be memorized 
    to the button and press the [MEMORY] LCD button ([E] button).
    2Press the desired button in the SONG section (for songs) to which the 
    path (selected in step #1 above) is to be memorized.
    3Call up the other path (for example, the Open/Save display for voices) and 
    press the same button as in step #2. 
    You will see the display same as shown in step #1.
    Paths for style files can also be memorized, as explained above. See page 156 for details.

    As we’ve seen up to this point, the LCD display lets you select various types of files such as voice, style, song, and 
    lets you adjust the parameter value of various functions. The highlight cursor is another convenient, colorful feature

    the parameter to be adjusted.

    About the Keyboard
    The Tyros2 keyboard features various functions and performance conveniences that are simply unavailable on an acoustic 
    instrument. As explained in the Quick Guide for example, it allows you to play several different voices together in a layer, or 
    play one voice with your left hand while you play a different voice (or even three layered voices!) with your right. 
    Below is a summary of the keyboard-related functions and modes.
    Keyboard Sections and Their Functions
    Synchro Start On/Off
    The convenient Synchro Start function lets you start style or song playback by simply playing a key on the keyboard. Naturally, 
    it should be set to on (standby) when you want to use it.
    ● Synchro Start—Style Playback (page 31)
    Turn it on or off by pressing the [SYNC START] button in the STYLE CONTROL section. When Synchro Start is 
    on, style playback behaves in two different ways, depending on the [ACMP] button status:
    • When [ACMP] is off—
    Only the Rhythm part (channel) of the selected style starts as soon as you play any key on the keyboard.
    • When [ACMP] is on—
    All parts of the selected style start as soon as you play a key/chord in the Chord section of the keyboard. 
    (Playing in any other section does not start the style.)
    ● Synchro Start—Song Playback
    To turn Synchro Start on or off, simultaneously hold down the [STOP] button and press the [PLAY/PAUSE] button 
    in the SONG CONTROL section. When Synchro Start is on, the song starts from the current position as soon as you 
    play the keyboard.
    VOICE RIGHT 1
    ● Playing a single voice
    ● Playing two voices in a layer
    VOICE RIGHT 1 + RIGHT 2VOICE RIGHT 1–3
    ● Playing three voices in a layer● Playing separate voices with the right and left hands
    VOICE RIGHT 1–3
    VOICE LEFT
    Split  Point ........... The point on the keyboard that separates the 
    left-hand section and the right-hand section. 
    ● When [ACMP] (style playback) is turned on: 
    VOICE RIGHT 1–3
    Chord section for 
    style playback
    Split Point ........... The point on the keyboard that separates the 
    chord section and the right-hand section. VOICE RIGHT 1–3
    Chord section + 
    VOICE LEFT
    Split Point
    When the Split Point for the Chord section and the 
    Split Point for the Voice are set to different points 
    (notes): 
    VOICE LEFT
    Chord section for 
    style playback
    Split Point for the Chord sectionVOICE RIGHT 1–3
    Split Point for the Voice
    RIGHT 3 Split PointYou can set a separate split point to be specified for the R3 voice. 
    This means that you could, for example, assign only the top octave 
    of the keyboard to a percussion or sound-effect voice.
