Voice Set

Parameters set on the VOICE SET display called up via the [FUNCTION]
SET are explained here.
When changing voices (selecting a voice file), the settings best matching the voice—the same as those set in the Voice Set—are always and
automatically called up. From this page, you can set the on/off status for each part. Normally, it is recommended that these are set to "ON."
Use these to select the
desired part.

Screen Out Settings

Parameters set on the display called up by selecting "SCREEN OUT" in step #2 of the Basic Procedure on page 187 are explained below. You
can connect the Tyros2 to a computer monitor, television or video monitor to display the lyrics and chords in your song data on a larger screen.
For information on the RGB OUT and VIDEO OUT connections, see page 16.
Select the desired output monitor type. (RGB OUT deliv-
ers higher resolution than VIDEO OUT.) If you select
VIDEO, set this to correspond to the standard (VIDEO
(NTSC) or VIDEO (PAL)) used by your video equipment.
The default setting is "VIDEO (PAL)." If the standard used
by your television or video monitor is not VIDEO (PAL) (for
example, VIDEO (NTSC) is generally used in North
America), change the setting to "VIDEO (NTSC)."

Tyros2 Owner's Manual
The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each half-step
evenly spaced in pitch. This is the most commonly used tuning in music today.
These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, especially for
triad chords (root, third, fifth). You can hear this best in actual vocal harmonies—such
as choirs and acapella singing.
This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a series
of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this tuning are
slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads.
This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making the
major third interval more "in tune." It was especially popular from the 16th century to the
18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale.
This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems, which were
themselves improvements on the mean-tone and Pythagorean scales. The main fea-
ture of this scale is that each key has its own unique character. The scale was used
extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and even now it is often used when
performing period music on the harpsichord.
Use these tunings when playing Arabic music.

Video Out signal, or which data is
sent to the video monitor.
• LYRICS/TEXT
Only the lyrics of the song or
text are output via RGB OUT or
VIDEO OUT, regardless of the
display that is called up on the
instrument itself. This lets you
select other displays and still
have the lyrics/text shown on
the monitor.
• LCD
The currently selected display is
output via RGB OUT or VIDEO
OUT.

REGISTRATION MEMORY/FREEZE/VOICE SET
These determine whether the cor-
responding voice-related settings
are automatically called up or not
when you select a voice. These
settings can be turned on or off
independently for each part.
•
Occasionally some flashing parallel lines
may appear in the television or video moni-
tor. This does not necessarily indicate that
the monitor is malfunctioning. You may be
able to remedy the situation by changing the
Character Color or Background Color param-
eters. For optimum results, also try adjusting
the color settings on the monitor itself.
•
Avoid looking at the monitor for prolonged
periods of time since doing so could damage
your eyesight. Take frequent breaks and
focus your eyes on distant objects to avoid
eyestrain.
•
Keep in mind that even after adjusting all set-
tings as recommended here, the monitor you
are using may not show the Tyros2's display
contents as expected (e.g., the display con-
tents may not fit on the screen, the charac-
ters may not be completely clear, or the
colors may be incorrect).
