VOICE
SET are explained here.
When changing voices (selecting a voice file), the settings best matching the voice — the same as those set in the Sound Creator — 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.”
Video Out Settings
Parameters set on the display called up by selecting “VIDEO OUT” in step #2 of the Basic Procedure on page 150 are explained below. You
can connect the TYROS to a television or video monitor to display the lyrics and chords in your song data on a larger screen.
Scale name
Decription
EQUAL TEMPERAMENT
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.
PURE MAJOR
PURE MINOR
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.
PYTHAGOREAN
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.
MEAN-TONE
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.
WERCKMEISTER
KIRNBERGER
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.
ARABIC1, 2
Use these tunings when playing Arabic music.
Use these to select the
desired part.
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.
VIDEO OUT
NTSC / PAL
•
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 television or video moni-
tor for prolonged periods of time since doing
so could damage your eyesight. Take fre-
quent 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 TYROS’ 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).
Set this to correspond to the standard (NTSC
or PAL) used by your video equipment. The
default setting is “PAL.” If the standard used by
your television or video monitor is not PAL (for
example, NTSC is generally used in North
America), change the setting to “NTSC.”

of the Video Out signal, or
which data is sent to the
video monitor.
• LYRICS
Only the lyrics of the
song are output via
VIDEO OUT, regard-
less of the display that
is called up on the
instrument itself. This
lets you select other
displays and still have
the lyrics shown on the
monitor.
