7Start recording.
Recording begins automatically as soon as you play on the keyboard. 
You can also start recording by pressing the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] 
button. This lets you record as much silence as you want before the start of the 
Multi Pad phrase.
If Chord Match is set to on for the Multi Pad to be recorded, you should record 
using the notes of the C major seventh scale (C, D, E, G, A and B).
8Stop recording.
Press the [H] (STOP) button or the panel MULTI PAD CONTROL [STOP] button 
or the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button to stop recording when you’ve 
finished playing the phrase.
9Listen back to your newly recorded phrase, by pressing the appropri-
ate MULTI PAD button, [1]–[4]. To re-record the phrase, repeat steps 
6–8.
10Turn Repeat of each pad On or Off by using the [1 ▲▼]–[4 ▲▼] but-
tons.
If the Repeat parameter is on for the selected pad, playback of the correspond-
ing pad will continue until the MULTI PAD [STOP] button is pressed. When you 
press the Multi Pads for which Repeat is turned on during Song or Style play-
back, playback will start and repeat in sync with the beat.
If the Repeat parameter is off for the selected pad, playback will end automati-
cally as soon as the end of the phrase is reached.
11Turn Chord Match of each pad On or Off by using the [5 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] 
buttons.
If the Chord Match parameter is on for the selected pad, the corresponding 
pad is played back according to the chord specified in the chord section of the 
keyboard generated by turning [ACMP] on, or specified in the LEFT Voice sec-
tion of the keyboard generated by turning [LEFT] on (when turning the 
[ACMP] off).
12Press the [D] (NAME) button, then enter a name for each Multi Pad, as 
desired.
13Press the [I] (SAVE) button, then save the Multi Pad data as a Bank 
containing a set of four Pads.
Multi Pad Step Recording (EDIT)
Step Recording can be executed in the EDIT page. After selecting a Multi Pad in step 5 on page 70, press the TAB 
[
WW W W] button to select the EDIT Page. 
The EDIT page indicates the Event list, which lets you record notes with absolutely precise timing. This Step Record-
ing procedure is essentially the same as that for Song Recording (pages 56–59), with the exception of the points 
listed below:
•There is no LCD button for switching channels, since Multi Pads contain data for only a single channel.
•In the Multi Pad Creator, only the channel events and System Exclusive messages can be entered. Chord and Lyr-
ics events are not available. You can switch between the two types of Event Lists by pressing the [F] button.
The SA, SA2 and Organ Flute Voices 
cannot be recorded. If one of these 
Voices is set for RIGHT1 part, it will be 
replaced with a Piano Voice.
NOTE
CRC CRC
C = Chord note
C, R = Recommended note
Multi Pads indicated with the following 
icon (hand on fretboard) are created 
with Guitar NTT (page 46) to produce 
the natural chord voicing of the guitar. 
Because of this, if the Chord Match set-
ting is set to off, the Multi Pads may not 
sound appropriately.

Registration Memory lets you recall all the panel setups you made with a single button press. However, there may 
be times that you want certain items to remain the same, even when switching Registration Memory setups. For 
example, you may want to switch Voices or effect settings while keeping the same accompaniment Style. This is 
where the Freeze function comes in handy. It lets you maintain the settings of certain items and leave them 
unchanged, even when selecting other Registration Memory buttons.

the sequence.
Use the [D] (REGIST- PEDAL) button to select the pedal for reversing through 
the sequence.
4Use the [E] (SEQUENCE END) button to determine how Registration 
Sequence behaves when reaching the end of the sequence.
• STOP.................... Pressing the TAB [WW W W] button or the “advance” pedal has 
no effect. The sequence is “stopped.”

In addition to letting you record audio directly with the Tyros3, the Hard Disk Recorder also allows you to import 
audio data from a USB storage device to Main track. The benefits of this feature are many. For example, you can:
•Use existing audio material (commercially available samples, loops, sound effects, etc.) on the Tyros3.
•Record your performance to another device (such as on a computer or audio sequencer), add vocals and other 
instruments as desired, then import the finished audio to the Tyros3.
•Export a recording made on the Tyros3 to a computer-based audio editor—giving you more comprehensive edit-
ing features and greater editing convenience—then import the audio back to the Tyros3. (See “Exporting an 
Audio File” on the Owner’s Manual.)
Files which can be imported must have these characteristics:
•Stereo Wave data
•44.1 kHz sample rate
•16-bit resolution
•A length of less than or equal to 80 minutes
1Insert the USB storage device (or connecting cable) to the USB TO 
DEVICE terminal.
