The powerful Voice Creator features of the Tyros3 give you the tools to create your own original Voices. Voice Cre-
ator allows you to import your own “Wave” (audio samples in WAV or AIFF format), and assign them to the keys—
building completely new Voices with completely new sounds.
Two types of Voices can be created: Normal Voice (see below) and Drum Voice (
differs depending on the Voice type.
Creating Normal Voices (Custom Voice)
By importing Wave files, you can create your original Voices—not only create from scratch, but also add Waves to
the existing Voices. A Voice consists of eight elements and you need to assign Wave files to each element (more
than two Waves can be assigned to one element).
The resulting Voice is called a Custom Voice and can be selected and played in the same way as all other Tyros3
Voices.

NOTE
Notes for Available Audio Files
• This instrument cannot recognize the extension .aiff. When you use an
AIFF file, change the extension to .aif.
• Only use uncompressed files.
• Audio data used for the Voice Creator can be of any sample rate or bit res-
olution. However, all audio data of a resolution other than 16-bit is auto-
matically converted to 16-bit resolution after being loaded.
• Only use Wave data having the following frequencies: 96000 Hz, 88000
Hz, 48000 Hz, 44100 Hz, 32000 Hz, 22050 Hz or 11025 Hz. Otherwise,
the data may not play back at the correct pitch.
• Voice Creator supports and recognizes loops in the audio data, letting you
use up to one loop in each audio file. (Some sample libraries have loops
already programmed into the data; you can also use audio editing soft-
ware to program loops yourself. Keep in mind however, that multiple
loops are not supported.)
• Audio files recorded with the Hard Disk Recorder cannot be used as is
with the Voice Creator. If you want to use a Hard Disk Recorder file,
export the file in .wav data format.
