●Pre-programmed MIDI Templates
ALL PARTS Transmits all parts including the keyboard parts (RIGHT 1, 2, 3, 
LEFT), with the exception of Song parts.
KBD & STYLE Basically the same as “ALL PARTS” with the exception of how key-
board parts are managed. The right-hand parts are handled as a 
“UPPER” instead of RIGHT 1–3 and the left-hand part is handled as a 
“LOWER.”
Master KBD1 In this setting, the Tyros3 functions as a “master” keyboard, playing 
and controlling one or more connected tone generators or other 
devices (such as a computer/sequencer).
Master KBD2 Basically the same as “Master KBD1” above, with the exception that 
Aftertouch messages are not transmitted.
Clock Ext. A  Playback or recording (Song, Style, Multi Pad, etc.) synchronizes 
with an external MIDI clock instead of the Tyros3’s internal clock. 
This template should be used when you wish to set the tempo on 
the MIDI device connected to the Tyros3. Playback or recording of 
the Tyros3 synchronizes with an external clock received via MIDI A.
MIDI Accord 1 MIDI accordions allow you to transmit MIDI data and play con-
nected tone generators from the keyboard and bass/chord buttons 
of the accordion. This template lets you play melodies from the key-
board and control Style playback on the Tyros3 with the left-hand 
buttons.
MIDI Accord 2 Basically the same as “MIDI Accord1” above, with the exception 
that the chord/bass notes you play with your left hand on the MIDI 
Accordion are recognized also as MIDI note events.
MIDI Pedal 1 MIDI pedal units allow you play connected tone generators with 
your feet (especially convenient for playing single note bass parts). 
This template lets you play/control the chord root in Style playback 
with a MIDI pedal unit (connected to MIDI B only).
MIDI Pedal 2 This template lets you play the bass part for Style playback by using 
a MIDI pedal unit (connected to MIDI B only).
MIDI OFF No MIDI signals are sent or received.

MIDI SYSTEM Settings
The explanations here apply to the SYSTEM Page in step 4 on page 112. 
Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the parameters (below), then set the ON/OFF status by using the [1 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] 
buttons.
■1 Local Control
Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When Local Control is set to 
“ON,” the keyboard of the Tyros3 controls its own (local) internal tone gener-
ator, allowing the internal Voices to be played directly from the keyboard. If 
you set Local to “OFF,” the keyboard and controllers are internally discon-
nected from the Tyros3’s tone generator section so that no sound is output 
when you play the keyboard or use the controllers. For example, this allows 
you to use an external MIDI sequencer to play the Tyros3’s internal Voices, and 
use the Tyros3 keyboard to record notes to the external sequencer and/or play 
an external tone generator.
■2 Clock setting, etc.
●CLOCK
Determines whether the Tyros3 is controlled by its own internal clock or a 
MIDI clock signal received from an external device. INTERNAL is the normal 
Clock setting when the Tyros3 is being used alone or as a master keyboard to 
control external devices. If you are using the Tyros3 with an external 
sequencer, MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and you want to synchronize 
it to that device, set this parameter to the appropriate setting: MIDI A, MIDI B, 
USB 1, or USB 2. In this case, make sure that the external device is connected 
properly (e.g., to the Tyros3’s MIDI IN terminal), and that it is properly trans-
mitting a MIDI clock signal.
●TRANSMIT CLOCK
Turns MIDI clock (F8) transmission on or off. When set to OFF, no MIDI clock 
or Start/Stop data is transmitted even if a Song or Style is played back.
●RECEIVE TRANSPOSE
Determines whether or not the Tyros3’s transpose setting is applied to the 
note events received by the Tyros3 via MIDI.
●START/STOP
Determines whether incoming FA (start) and FC (stop) messages affect Song 
or Style playback.
■3 MESSAGE SW (Message Switch)
●SYS/EX.
The “Tx” setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI System Exclusive messages 
on or off. The “Rx” setting turns MIDI reception and recognition of MIDI Sys-
tem Exclusive messages generated by external equipment on or off.
●CHORD SYS/EX.
The “Tx” setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI chord exclusive data (chord 
detect. root and type) on or off. The “Rx” setting turns MIDI reception and 
recognition of MIDI chord exclusive data generated by external equipment on 
or off.
If the Clock is set other than INTERNAL, 
the Style, Song or Multi Pad cannot be 
played from the panel buttons.

MIDI Transmit  Settings
The explanations here apply to the TRANSMIT Page in step 4 on page 112. This determines which parts will be sent 
as MIDI data and over which MIDI channel the data will be sent.
1Use the [A]/[B] buttons or [1 ▲▼]/[2 ▲▼] buttons to select the part for 
changing transmit settings. 
With the exception of the two parts below, the configuration of the parts is the 
same as those already explained elsewhere in the Owner’s Manual.
●UPPER
A keyboard part played on the right side of the keyboard from the Split Point 
for the Voices (RIGHT 1, 2, and 3).
●LOWER
A keyboard part played on the left side of the keyboard from the Split Point for 
the Voices. This is not affected by the on/off status of the [ACMP] button.
2Use the [3 ▲▼] buttons to select a channel via which the selected 
part will be transmitted.
3Use the [4 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] button to determine the types of data to be 
sent.
The following MIDI messages can be set on the TRANSMIT/RECEIVE display. 
●NOTE (Note events)
●CC (Control Change)
●PC (Program Change)
●PB (Pitch Bend)
●AT (Aftertouch)
1
123
The dots corresponding to each 
channel (1–16) flash briefly when-
ever any data is transmitted on the 
channel(s).
If the same transmit channel is assigned 
to several different parts, the transmitted 
MIDI messages are merged to a single 
channel—resulting in unexpected 
sounds and possible glitches in the 
connected MIDI device.
Protected Songs cannot be transmitted 
even if the proper Song channels 1–16 
are set to be transmitted.

MIDI Receive Settings
The explanations here apply to the RECEIVE Page in step 4 on page 112. This determines which parts will receive 
MIDI data and over which MIDI channels the data will be received.
1Use the [A]/[B] buttons or [1 ▲▼]/[2 ▲▼] buttons to select the chan-
nel to be received
The Tyros3 can receive MIDI messages over 32 channels (16 channels x 2 
ports).
2Use the [3 ▲▼] buttons to select the part via which the selected chan-
nel will be received.
With the exception of the two parts below, the configuration of the parts is the 
same as those already explained elsewhere in the Owner’s Manual.
●KEYBOARD
The received note messages control the Tyros3’s keyboard performance.
●EXTRA PART 1–4
There are four parts specially reserved for receiving and playing MIDI data. 
Normally, these parts are not used by the instrument itself. The Tyros3 can be 
used as a 32-channel multi-timbral tone generator by using these four parts in 
addition to the parts (except for the microphone sound).
3Use the [4 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] button to determine the types of data to be 
received.

Setting the Bass Note for Style Playback via MIDI Receive
The explanations here apply to the BASS Page in step 4 on page 112. These settings let you determine the bass 
note for Style playback, based on the note messages received via MIDI. The note on/off messages received at the 
channel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the bass note of the chord of Style playback. The bass note will be 
detected regardless of the [ACMP] or split point settings. When several channels are simultaneously set to “ON,” 
the bass note is detected from merged MIDI data received over the channels.
1Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the channel.
2Use the [1 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] button to set the desired channel to ON or 
OFF.
You can also set all channels to OFF by pressing the [I] (ALL OFF) button.
Setting the Chord Type for Style Playback via MIDI Receive
The explanations here apply to the CHORD DETECT Page in step 4 on page 112. These settings let you determine 
the chord type for Style playback, based on the note messages received via MIDI. The note on/off messages 
received at the channel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the notes for detecting chords in Style playback. The 
chords to be detected depend on the fingering type. The chord types will be detected regardless of the [ACMP] or 
split point settings. When several channels are simultaneously set to “ON,” the chord type is detected from merged 
MIDI data received over the channels.
The operation procedure is basically the same as that of the BASS display above.

MFC10 Settings
The explanations here apply to the MFC10 Page in step 4 on page 112.
By connecting an optional MFC10 MIDI Foot Controller to the Tyros3, you can conveniently control a wide range 
of operations and functions by using your feet—perfect for changing settings and controlling the sound while you 
perform live. Different functions can be assigned to each of the footswitches and up to five foot controllers 
(optional) can be connected to the MFC10, for additional sound-shaping possibilities.
1Connect the MIDI IN terminal of the MFC10 to one of the MIDI OUT ter-
minals of the Tyros3 by using a MIDI cable.
2Set the MFC10 to the normal mode and turn the [FUNCTION] lamp of 
the MFC10 on.
3Perform steps 1–4 on page 112 to call up the MFC10 Page.
4Set the parameters on this display as desired.
 
On this display, two settings (below) can be made:
•Each footswitch (F00–F29) on the MFC10 sends a note number to the 
Tyros3, and the Tyros3 determines how it responds to (which function is 
executed by) that note number.
•Each foot controller on the MFC10 sends control change messages over a 
specific control change number to the Tyros3, and the Tyros3 determines 
how it responds to (which parameter is changed by) that control change 
number.
4-1Use the [A]/[E] buttons to select “FOOTSWITCH” or “FOOT CONTROL-
LER.”
4-2Use the [2 ▲▼]/[3 ▲▼] buttons to select a footswitch number (F00–
F29) or a foot controller number (1–5) to which the function is 
assigned.
Please note that a note number is assigned to each footswitch and a 
control change number is assigned to each foot controller beforehand 
and you cannot change the settings.

4-3Use the [4 ▲▼]–[6 ▲▼] buttons to specify the function assigned to the 
footswitch (actually the note number), or the function assigned to the 
foot controller (actually the control change number). About the func-
tions which can be assigned to the footswitch or foot controller, refer to 
page 110.
4-4(Only for the FOOT CONTROLLER Setting) Determine the part to which 
the function assigned to the foot controller is applied by using the [7 
▲▼]/[8 ▲▼] buttons.
4-5Use the [F]/[G] buttons to determine the MIDI port which is to be used 
when communicating with the MFC10. 
Here, the USB port (USB1, USB2) can be selected even though the 
MFC10 does not have the USB connector. This is because the computer 
can be used instead of the MFC10. (The computer can transmit the 
data equivalent to the data the MFC10 transmits to the Tyros3. For 
details, see the bottom of the page.)
4-6Use the [H] (CH SELECT) button to determine the MIDI channel which 
is to be used when communicating with the MFC10.
5Press the [I] (SEND MFC10 SETUP) button to send the settings here 
to the MFC10.
6Disconnect the MIDI cable from the Tyros3 and the MFC10, and con-
nect the MIDI OUT terminal of the MFC10 to the MIDI IN terminal of the 
Tyros3 according to the setting above by using a MIDI cable.
7Operate the MFC10 to confirm whether you can properly control the 
Tyros3 from the MFC10 as set in step 4.
8Press the [EXIT] button to return to the MIDI template Selection dis-
play and save the settings above to the USER tab.
Actually the pair of the footswitch num-
ber and the note number, the pair of the 
foot controller number and the control 
change number, and the MIDI channel 
for communication set above are trans-
mitted to the MFC10.

•Note number/Tyros3 function assignment pairs 
•Control change number/Tyros3 parameter change assignment pairs
If you are not using an MFC10, you can have note numbers and control 
change messages from any other appropriate MIDI device (such as a com-
puter, sequencer or master keyboard) control the Tyros3. Make sure to set 
the appropriate channel in this display for control by the external device.
