●3BAND EQ (selected by [A] or [F] button)
EQ (Equalizer) is a processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple 
bands which can be boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall frequency 
response. The Tyros3 features a high-grade three-band (LOW, MID and HIGH) 
digital equalizer function for the microphone sound.
●NOISE GATE (selected by [C] or [H] button)
This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls 
below a specified level. This effectively cuts off extraneous noise, allowing the 
desired signal (vocal, etc.) to pass.
●COMPRESSOR (selected by [C] or [H] button)
This effect holds down the output when the input signal from the microphone 
exceeds a specified level. This is especially useful for smoothing out vocals that 
have widely varying dynamics. It effectively “compresses” the signal, making 
soft parts louder and loud parts softer.

●VOCAL HARMONY CONTROL (selected by [E] or [J] button)
The following parameters determine how the Vocal Harmony is controlled.
[1 ▲▼]–
[3 ▲▼]VOCODER CON-
TROLThe Vocal Harmony effect in Vocoder mode (below) is controlled by note 
data—the notes you play on the keyboard and/or the notes of the song data. 
This parameter lets you determine which notes are used to control the har-
mony.
[1 ▲▼]MUTE/PLAY When set to “MUTE,” the channel selected below (to control Harmony) is 
muted (turned off) during keyboard performance or song playback.
[2 ▲▼]OFF/1–16 When set to “OFF,” song data control over harmony is turned off. When set to 
one of the values 1–16, note data (played from a Song on the Tyros3 or exter-
nal MIDI sequencer) contained on the corresponding channel is used to con-
trol the harmony.
[3 ▲▼]KBD (Keyboard)OFF: Keyboard control over harmony is turned off.
UPPER: Notes played to the right of the split point control the harmony.
LOWER: Notes played to the left of the split point control the harmony.
[4 ▲▼]BAL. (Balance) This lets you set the balance between the lead vocal (your own voice) and 
Vocal Harmony. Raising this value increases the volume of the Vocal Harmony 
and decreases that of the lead vocal. When this is set to LH, only the lead vocal is output.
[5 ▲▼]MODE (Vocal Har-
mony mode)All of the Vocal Harmony types fall into one of three modes, which produce 
harmony in different ways. The harmony effect is dependent on the selected 
Vocal Harmony mode, and this parameter determines how the harmony is 
applied to your voice. The three modes are described below.
AUTO: When the [ACMP] or [LEFT] is set to ON and if chord data exists in the 
Song, the mode is automatically set to CHORDAL. In all other cases, the 
mode is set to VOCODER.
VOCOD (Vocoder): The harmony notes are determined by the notes you 
play on the keyboard and/or Song data. You can specify whether the 
Vocoder effect is controlled by your keyboard performance or by the Song 
data (VOCODER CONTROL parameter above).
CHORD (Chordal): The harmony notes are determined by the following 
three types of chord: chords played in the chord section of the keyboard 
(with the [ACMP] turned on), chords played in the LEFT Voice section of 
the keyboard (with the [ACMP] turned off and the [LEFT] turned on), and 
chords contained in Song data for controlling the harmony. (Not available 
if the Song does not contain any chord data.)
[6 ▲▼]CHORD The following parameters determine which data in a recorded Song is used 
for chord detection.
OFF: Chords are not detected from the Song data.
XF: Chords of XF format are used for the Vocal Harmony.
1–16: Chords are detected from note data in the specified Song channel.
[7 ▲▼]VOCAL RANGE Set this to obtain the most natural vocal harmony, depending on your voice.
NORM.: Normal setting.
LOW: Setting for lower voice. This setting is also appropriate for growling 
and shouting.
HIGH: Setting for higher voice. This setting is also appropriate for singing 
close to the microphone.

●Vocal Harmony Edit parameters
VOCODER TYPE Determines how the harmony notes are applied to the microphone 
sound when the Harmony mode (page 104) is set to “VOCODER.”
CHORDAL TYPE Determines how the harmony notes are applied to the microphone 
sound when the Harmony mode (page 104) is set to “CHORDAL.”
HARMONY GENDER 
TYPEDetermines whether the gender of the harmony sound is changed 
or not.
Off: The gender of the harmony sound is not changed.
Auto: The gender of the harmony sound is changed automatically.
LEAD GENDER TYPE Determines whether and how the gender of the lead vocal sound 
(i.e., the direct microphone sound) will be changed. Please note that 
the number of harmony notes differs depending on the selected 
type. When set to Off, three harmony notes are produced. Other 
settings produce two harmony notes.
Off: No gender change occurs.
Unison: No gender change occurs. You can adjust the LEAD GEN-
DER DEPTH below.
Male: The corresponding gender change is applied to the lead 
vocal.
Female: The corresponding gender change is applied to the lead 
vocal.
LEAD GENDER DEPTH Adjusts the degree of lead vocal gender change. This is available 
when the LEAD GENDER TYPE above is set to other than Off. The 
higher the value, the more “feminine” the harmony voice becomes. 
The lower the value, the more “masculine” the voice.
LEAD PITCH CORRECT This parameter is only effective when the LEAD GENDER TYPE above 
is set to other than Off. When Smooth or Hard is selected, the pitch 
of the lead vocal is shifted in precise semitone steps.
UPPER GENDER THRESH-
OLDGender change will occur when the harmony pitch reaches or 
exceeds the specified number of semitones above the lead vocal 
pitch.
LOWER GENDER 
THRESHOLDGender change will occur when the harmony pitch reaches or 
exceeds the specified number of semitones below the lead vocal 
pitch.
UPPER GENDER DEPTH Adjusts the degree of gender change applied to harmony notes 
higher than the UPPER GENDER THRESHOLD. The higher the value, 
the more “feminine” the harmony voice becomes. The lower the 
value, the more “masculine” the voice.
LOWER GENDER DEPTH Adjusts the degree of gender change applied to harmony notes 
lower than the LOWER GENDER THRESHOLD. The higher the value, 
the more “feminine” the harmony voice becomes. The lower the 
value, the more “masculine” the voice.
VIBRATO DEPTH Sets the depth of vibrato applied to the harmony sound. Also affects 
the lead vocal sound when the LEAD GENDER TYPE above is set to 
other than Off.
VIBRATO RATE Sets the speed of the vibrato effect. Also affects the lead vocal sound 
when the LEAD GENDER TYPE above is set to other than Off.
VIBRATO DELAY Specifies the length of the delay before the vibrato effect begins 
when a note is produced. Higher values result in a longer delay.

●Assignable Pedal Functions
For functions indicated with “*”, use only the foot controller; proper operation 
cannot be done with a footswitch.
S. ARTICULATION 1/2 When you use a Super Articulation Voice that has an effect assigned 
to the pedal/footswitch, you can enable the effect by pressing the 
pedal/footswitch. You can turn this function on or off for each key-
board part on this display.
VOLUME* Allows you to use a foot controller to control the volume. You can 
turn this pedal function on or off for each part on this display.
SUSTAIN Allows you to use a pedal to control the sustain. When you press and 
hold the pedal, all notes played on the keyboard have a longer sus-
tain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained 
notes. You can turn this pedal function on or off for each keyboard 
part on this display.
SOSTENUTO Allows you to use a pedal to control the Sostenuto effect. If you play 
a note or chord on the keyboard and press the pedal while holding 
the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held. How-
ever, all subsequent notes will not sustain. This makes it possible to 
sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played staccato. 
You can turn this pedal function on or off for each keyboard part on 
this display.
SOFT Allows you to use a pedal to control the Soft effect. Pressing this 
pedal reduces the volume and changes the timbre of the notes you 
play. This is effective only for certain appropriate Voices. You can 
turn this pedal function on or off for each keyboard part on this dis-
play.
GLIDE When the pedal is pressed, the pitch changes, and then returns to 
normal pitch when the pedal is released. The following parameters 
can be set for this function on this display.
UP/DOWN: Determines whether the pitch change goes up (is 
raised) or down (is lowered).
RANGE: Determines the range of the pitch change, in semitones.
ON SPEED: Determines the speed of the pitch change when the 
pedal is pressed.
OFF SPEED: Determines the speed of the pitch change when the 
pedal is released.
LEFT, RIGHT 1, 2, 3: Turns this pedal function on or off for each 
keyboard part.
PORTAMENTO The portamento effect (a smooth slide between notes) can be pro-
duced while the pedal is pressed. Portamento is produced when 
notes are played legato style (i.e., a note is played while the preced-
ing note is still held). The portamento time can also be adjusted 
form the Mixing Console display (page 92). You can turn this pedal 
function on or off for each keyboard part on this display.
PITCHBEND* Allows you to bend the pitch of notes up or down by using the 
pedal. The following parameters can be set for this function on this 
display.
UP/DOWN: Determines whether the pitch change goes up (is 
raised) or down (is lowered).
RANGE: Determines the range of the pitch change, in semitones.
LEFT, RIGHT 1, 2, 3: Turns this pedal function on or off for each 
keyboard part.
This function will not affect the Organ Flutes and Super Articulation Voices, even if they 
have been assigned to the Foot Pedals.
NOTE
This function will not affect the Organ Flutes and Super Articulation Voices, even if they 
have been assigned to the Foot Pedals.
