Main Features Tyros3 Owner’s Manual •7 Main Features ●Realistic and richly textured Voices The new SA2 Voices created with Yamaha’s AEM (Articulation Element Modeling) technology let you play those Voices more naturally and with greater expressiveness—particularly the wind instrument sounds (page 40). What’s more, the Tyros3 has enhanced the already high-quality piano Voices and other important Voices for playing accompaniment (drum, guitar, etc.), and it newly features Synth Voices inherited from our flagship MOTIF series synthesizer. ●Intuitive, quick-access sliders Eight sliders have been provided just below the LCD display let you conveniently and quickly adjust all parameters shown in the display. The additional ASSIGN slider allows you to assign a desired function (volume, reverb, etc.) and control it in realtime during your performance (page 21). These nine sliders function as footage levers when the Organ Flutes display is shown (page 46). ●Dynamic, contemporary Auto Accompaniment Styles The Tyros3 contains a huge amount of exceptionally high-quality Styles including the new MegaVoices. They feature a newly developed note transposition system for guitar tracks and additional two DSP effect blocks exclusively for the Styles. ●Two-track Hard Disk Recorder The Hard Disk Recorder lets you record your performances to two audio tracks—Main and Sub. A Bounce recording feature lets you record even more tracks, allowing you to easily record multiple parts in layers (page 74). ●Convenient Multi Pad Sync function / Registrations and OTS Information You can embellish your performance as you play with several preset phrases by using the Multi Pads. These can even be synchronized with Style/Song playback (page 65). The information displays for Registration Memory and One Touch Setting allow you to confirm the registered panel setups easily (pages 53, 70). ●Voice Expandability Download additional Voices from the website and load them to the Tyros3—and increase your selection of available Voices (page 39). ●Easy connection with peripheral devices The built-in LAN terminal lets you easily connect your Tyros3 directly to the Internet (page 82). The USB terminals compatible with USB 2.0 HighSpeed enable high-speed communication with USB storage devices and computers (pages 94, 96). The Tyros3 is compatible with the following formats. “GM (General MIDI)” is one of the most common Voice allocation formats. “GM System Level 2” is a stan- dard specification that enhances the original “GM” and improves Song data compatibility. It provides for increased polyphony, greater Voice selection, expanded Voice parameters, and integrated effect processing. XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha specifically to provide more Voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects, and to ensure compatibility of data well into the future. GS was developed by the Roland Corporation. In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhancement of the GM specifically to provide more Voices and Drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expressive con- trol over Voices and effects. The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and open- ended expandability for the future. The Tyros3 is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF file containing lyric data is played. “SFF (Style File Format)” is an original Style file format by Yamaha which uses a unique conversion system to provide high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types. “SFF GE (Guitar Edi- tion)” is an enhanced format of SFF, which features improved note transposition for guitar tracks. VH (Vocal Harmony) employs the digital signal processing technology to automatically add appropriate vocal harmonies to a lead vocal line sung by the user. “AEM” is the trademark of Yamaha’s leading-edge tone generation technology. For information on AEM, refer to page 40.
