3 3 Songs – Recording Your Performances and Creating Songs – Tyros3 Reference Manual •61 8Press the [4 ▲▼] button to select the whole-note length. 9Play the chord C in the chord section of the keyboard. 10Press the [STOP] button (or press the [C] button) to return to the top of the Song, then hear the newly entered Song by pressing the [PLAY/ PAUSE] button. 11Press the [EXIT] button to exit from the Step Recording display. 12Press the [F] (EXPAND) button to convert the input chord change data into the Song data. 13Press the [I] (SAVE) button to execute the Save operation. Re-Recording a Specific Section—Punch In/Out When re-recording a specific section of an already-recorded Song, use the Punch IN/OUT function. In this method, only the data between the Punch In point and the Punch Out point is overwritten with the newly recorded data. Keep in mind that the notes before and after the Punch In/Out points are not recorded over, although you will hear them play back normally to guide you in the Punch In/Out timing. 1Call up the operation display.

CAUTION NEXT PAGE [1 ▲▼]– [3 ▲▼]REC START (Punch In)Determines the Punch In timing. NORMAL: Overwrite recording starts when pressing the SONG [PLAY/PAUSE] button or when you play the keyboard in the Synchro Standby mode. FIRST KEY ON: The Song plays back normally, then starts overwrite record- ing as soon as you play the keyboard. PUNCH IN AT: The Song plays back normally up to the beginning of the indi- cated Punch In measure, then starts overwrite recording at that point. You can set the Punch In measure by pressing the [3 ▲▼] button.

Play the keyboard at the Punch In point and stop recording at the Punch Out point. 5Press the [I] (SAVE) button to execute the Save operation. ●Examples of re-recording with various Punch In/Out settings The Tyros3 features several different ways you use the Punch In/Out function. The illustrations below indicate a variety of situations in which selected mea- sures in an eight-measure phrase are re-recorded. [4 ▲▼]– [6 ▲▼]REC END (Punch Out)Determines the Punch Out timing. REPLACE ALL: This deletes all data after the point at which recording is stopped. PUNCH OUT: The Song position at which recording is stopped is regarded as the Punch Out point. This setting maintains all data after the point at which recording is stopped. PUNCH OUT AT: Actual overwrite recording continues until the beginning of the specified Punch Out measure (set with the corresponding display but- ton), at which point recording stops and normal playback continues. This setting maintains all data after the point at which recording is stopped. You can set the Punch Out measure by pressing the [6 ▲▼] buttons. [7 ▲▼]/ [8 ▲▼]PEDAL PUNCH IN/OUTWhen this is set to ON, you can use Foot Pedal 2 to control the Punch In and Punch Out points. While a Song is playing back, pressing (and holding) Foot Pedal 2 instantly enables Punch In recording, while releasing the pedal stops recording (Punch Out). You can press and release Foot Pedal 2 as often as you want during playback to punch in/out of overwrite recording. Note that the current function assignment of the Foot Pedal 2 is cancelled when the Pedal Punch In/Out function is set to ON. Pedal Punch In/Out operation may be reversed depending on the particular pedal you’ve connected to the instrument. If necessary, change the pedal polarity to reverse the control (page 109). NOTE The recorded Song data will be lost if you select another Song or turn the power to the instrument off without executing the Save operation.

3 3 Songs – Recording Your Performances and Creating Songs – 64• Tyros3 Reference Manual ●1 QUANTIZE The Quantize function allows you to align the timing of all the notes in a chan- nel. For example, if you record the musical phrase shown at right, you may not play it with absolute precision, and your performance may have been slightly ahead of or behind the precise timing. Quantize is a convenient way of cor- recting for this. ●2 DELETE You can delete the data of the specified channel in the Song. Select the chan- nel whose data to be deleted by using the [1 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons, then press the [D] (EXECUTE) button to execute the operation. [2 ▲▼]/ [3 ▲▼]CHANNEL Determines which MIDI channel in the Song data is to be quantized. [4 ▲▼]– [6 ▲▼]SIZE Selects the quantize size (resolution). For optimum results, you should set the Quantize size to the shortest note value in the channel. For example, if eighth notes are the shortest in the channel, you should use eighth note as the Quantize size. The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally conve- nient, since they allow you to quantize two different note values at the same time. For example, when the straight eighth notes and eighth notes triplet are contained in the same channel, if you quantize by the straight eighth notes, all notes in the channel are quantized to straight eighth notes—completely eliminating any triplet feel. However, if you use the eighth note + eighth note triplet setting, both the straight and triplet notes will be quantized correctly. [7 ▲▼]/ [8 ▲▼]STRENGTH Determines how strongly the notes will be quantized. A setting of 100% pro- duces exact timing. If a value less than 100% is selected, notes will be moved toward the specified quantization beats according to the specified percent- age. Applying less than 100% quantization lets you preserve some of the “human” feel in the recording.

3 3 Songs – Recording Your Performances and Creating Songs – Tyros3 Reference Manual •69 Editing Song Position Markers This section covers two additional Marker-related features and details. For basic information on using the Markers for jump playback and loop playback, refer to the Owner’s Manual. ●Jump Markers The Markers explained in the Owner’s Manual are also called “Jump Markers.” In the Event List display, they are indicated as “SPJ-01”–”SPJ-04” (page 67). In the Event List, they can be moved freely to other positions and can even copied to create identical Marker numbers at other positions. When the same Marker number is contained at different locations in the Song, the latest occurring one is used as a “Loop End Marker” (below). ●Loop End Marker Loop End Markers can be used for putting additional Markers in Song data, providing even greater versatility. Creating a Loop End Marker is done within the Event List (and not with the [SP 1]–[SP 4] buttons on the panel), by simply copying one “SPJ” Jump Marker event to another position in the Song. For basic information on loop playback between successive Jump Markers, refer to the Owner’s Manual. The examples below show how Loop End Markers can be used in Song playback. •If the Song is playing back between the two SPJ-01 points, turning on [LOOP] will result in a playback loop between those points. •If the Song is playing back between the second SPJ-01 and SPJ-02 and [LOOP] is turned on, playback jumps back to the first SPJ-01 and loops between two SPJ-01 points. •If the Song is playing back between SPJ-02 and the second SPJ-01, turning on [LOOP] will result in a playback loop between those points. •If the [LOOP] button is turned on while the Song is playing back between the top of the Song and SPJ-02, playback will loop between SPJ-01 and SPJ-02. •If the Song is playing back between the second SPJ-01 and SPJ-03 and [LOOP] is turned on, playback jumps back to SPJ-02 and loops between SPJ-02 and the sec- ond SPJ-01 (Loop End Marker). In the examples above, the actual data of the Loop End Marker is identical to the event it was copied from—only the location of the copied Marker provides it with this different function. In Song playback, the markers formatted as “SPJ-xxxxx” (xxxxx: any character except 01–04 and any number of letters is OK) are handled as Loop End Markers. Since the Event List in the Song Creator function does not let you freely name Markers, the instructions above are recommended for creating new Markers. However, with sequence software on a computer, you can create new Markers and assign appropri- ate names to them. By naming Markers in this way, you can easily distinguish between Loop End Markers and Jump Markers in the Event List. [SPJ-01] [SPJ-01] [SPJ-02] [SPJ-03] [SPJ-04]Top of the songEnd of the song Example 1 [SPJ-01] [SPJ-02] [SPJ-01] [SPJ-03] [SPJ-04]Top of the songEnd of the song Example 2 Loop playback problems may occur if successive Markers are too close to one another. When the effect settings of the jump destination (the position you’re jumping to) differ from those at the jump source, glitches or drop-outs in the sound may result. This is because of limitations in the effect processors of the Tyros3. When using the Guide function (page 53) with jump playback, keep in mind that the Guide indication may not be able to stay in time with the jumps. NOTE NOTE NOTE
