Displaying Lyrics
If the selected song has lyric data, you can have the lyrics shown in the display by pressing the [Lyrics] LCD button
in the Main display. The Lyrics feature offers a number of useful possibilities:
• The phrases to be sung are highlighted in time with the music, making it easy to follow the words and sing
along with the song. Connect a microphone and you can even have your voice mixed with the song
accompaniment as it plays.
• Connect an external TV monitor to the TYROS, and you can have the lyrics displayed on the TV — for
group sing-alongs and the like. You can even set the TYROS so that the lyrics are shown on the TV monitor
while the LCD of the instrument displays a different operation or function. (Select [FUNCTION]
