Yamaha Tyros 5 Owners Manual

							Tyros5  Owner’s Manual11
Main Features
Extraordinarily expressive and realistic Voices
As one of the most powerful performance keyboards ever created,  the Tyros5 has a comprehensive and sonically stunning set of 
authentic Voices, and gives you the means to play these Voices mo re naturally and with greater expressiveness. In particular, the 
instrument has new Ensemble Voices that let you convincingly recr eate true multi-part ensemble playing, such as brass sections 
and string quartets. There are also many new and enhanced or chestral Super Articulation Voices, including trumpet, trombone 
and flute. Moreover, a special Organ World feature provides realistic recreation plus expressive control of some of the world’s  
most popular organ sounds.
 Dynamic, professional Auto Accompaniment Styles 
The Styles of the Tyros5 make it possible to perform in a wi de variety of music genres with full backing band accompaniment. 
However, the new Audio Styles bring a fresh level of realism a nd expressiveness, featuring actual audio recordings of top-class  
studio musicians. These impart all the original feel, ambience a nd excitement to the drums and percussion parts of the Style, 
and retain the subtle nuances and grooves that are difficult to reproduce using the preset drum kits.
 Powerful DSP effect processing for enhancing the sound
Not only does the Tyros5 have new and high-quality effect types,  including Real Distortion and Real Reverb, it provides beau-
tifully designed panel displays, with highly intuitive controls—just like actual effect devices. These also include VCM effects  
that use the same technology as the professiona l-level processing on Yamaha’s high-end mixers.
Audio recording and playback 
The Tyros5 lets you conveniently record your performance as audio data, and save it in WAV file format—making it easy to edit 
your recordings on computer as desired, and share them over the  Internet, or burn your own original CDs. MP3 audio playback 
is also supported. Moreover, the instrument provides a variety  of advanced convenient audio playback and processing functions, 
including Time Stretch, which lets you slow down or speed up an audio file without changing the pitch, and Pitch Shift, which 
allows you to change the pitch without affecting the time. More over, a Vocal Cancel function effectively mutes center-position 
vocals in audio, letting you to sing “karaoke” style with just instrumental backing. 
 Expressive and Versatile Vocal Harmony feature—with Synth Vocoder
The enhanced Vocal Harmony 2 (VH2) processing engine delive rs superior sound, lightning-fast processing and comprehen-
sive, flexible control of the harmonies applied to your singing vo ice (page 89). It also has a Synth Vocoder feature, recreating 
that popular effect for a variety of luscious, other-worldly sounds. In addition, the rear-panel combo jack lets you convenient ly 
connect either XLR mic cables or ¼” phone plugs.
 Voice expandability
The Tyros5 is an open-ended instrument that lets you continually expand the available content for your creative explorations. 
Featured on our special website (http://yamahamusicsoft.com
) are many Voices, Waves, Songs and Styles (called Premium 
Pack data) that you can buy and load to the Tyros5. (You’ll need to install the optional Flash Memory Expansion Module in 
order to use this additional content.)
Compatible formats for the instrument
“GM (General MIDI)” is one of the most common Voice allocation formats. “GM System Level 2” is a standard spec-
ification that enhances the original “G M” and improves Song data compatibili ty. 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 form at, 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 th eir variations, as well as greater expressive control over 
Voices and effects.
The Yamaha XF format enhances the SM F (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and open-ended 
expandability for the future. The Tyros5 is capable of disp laying lyrics when an XF file containing lyric data is 
played.
“SFF (Style File Format)” is an original Style file form at by Yamaha which uses a unique conversion system to pro-
vide high-quality automatic accompaniment  based on a wide range of chord types. “SFF GE (Guitar Edition)” is an 
enhanced format of SFF, which features imp roved note transposition for guitar tracks.
“AEM” is the trademark of Yamaha’s le ading-edge tone generation technology. For informatio n on AEM, refer to the 
Reference Manual on the website.
