Voice Characteristics
The Voice type and its defining character istics are indicated above the Voice name. S.Art!, S.Art2!, MegaVoice, Live!, 
Cool!, Sweet!, etc.
 S.Art! and S.Art2! (Super Articulation Voices)
The word “articulation” in music usually refe rs to the transition or continuity between 
notes. This is often reflected in specific perf ormance techniques, such as staccato, legato 
and slur. For details, refer to page 40.
 Drum Voices and SFX Voices (called up via the [DRUM KIT] button)
Lets you play various drums and percussion instruments or SFX (sound effects) sounds on 
the keyboard. Details are given in the “Drum/ Key Assignment List” of the Data List. The 
Data List is available on the website.
For information about other Voice type s, refer to the Reference Manual.
Holding the LEFT part Voice (Left Hold)
This function causes the LEFT part Voice to be 
held even when the keys are released. Non-
decaying Voices such as strings  are held continuously, while decay-type Voices such as piano 
decay more slowly (as if the sustain pedal has been pressed). 
• S.Art! and S.Art2! Voices are only  compatible with other models which 
have those types of Voices installed. 
Any Song, Style or Multi Pads data 
you’ve created on the instrument 
using these Voices will not sound 
properly when played back on other 
instruments. 
• S.Art! and S.Art2! Voices sound dif-
ferently depending on the keyboard 
range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if 
you apply a HARMONY/ECHO effect, 
change the transpose setting or 
change the Voice Set parameters, 
unexpected or undesired sounds may 
result.
• The characteristics of S.Art2! Voices  (default vibrato setting and articula-
tion effects applied by the [ART] but-
tons) are effective for real-time 
performance; however, these effects 
may not be completely reproduced 
when you play back a Song which 
has been recorded using S.Art2! 
Voices.
NOTE 
						

							40Tyros5  Owner’s Manual
The Super Articulation Voices (S.Art! Voices and S.Art2! Voices) enable you to create 
subtle, very realistic musical expressions, by how you play. Moreover, with the [ART. 1]/
[ART. 2] buttons in this instrument, you can add those expressions by simply pressing a 
single button.
When you select a Super Articulation Voice, the [ART. 1]/[ART. 2] buttons may light in 
blue. Pressing a lit button ad ds the effect (a button which is not lit has no effect).
Below are three examples of  Super Articulation effects.
Example 1
Pressing the available [ART] button triggers di fferent playing effects and techniques, sep-
arate from your keyboard playing. For exampl e, pressing the [ART] button for a S.Art! 
saxophone Voice can produce breath noise or ke y noise, while doing the same for a S.Art! 
guitar Voice can produce fret noise or body-tappi ng sound. You can effectively intersperse 
these into the notes as you play.
While the articulation effect sounds, the button lights in red.
 Example 2
Playing the keyboard while holding down the available [ART] button changes the nature 
of the Voice. For example, in the case of  the NylonGuitar Voice in A.GUITAR category, 
holding down the [ART. 1] button lets you play harmonics for the guitar Voice. Releasing 
the button returns the Voice to normal.
The button lights in red while it is being held down.
Adding Articulation Effects to  Super Articulation Voices
• For examples of adding effects by 
how you play, refer to the Voice char-
acteristics for Super Articulation 
Voices on the Reference Manual.
• The applied articulation effect differs  depending on the selected Voice. For 
details, refer to the Information dis-
play called up by pressing the [6 ] 
(INFO) button on the Voice Selection 
display.
