● FULL KEYBOARD
Detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way similar to Fingered, even if you split the notes
between your left and right hands — for example, playing a bass note with your left hand and a chord with your right,
or by playing a chord with your left hand and a melody note with your right.
● AI FULL KEYBOARD
When this advanced fingering type is engaged, the TYROS will automatically create appropriate accompaniment while
you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands. You don’t have to worry about specifying
the style chords. Although the AI Full Keyboard type is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements may
not be suitable for use with this feature. This type is similar to FULL KEYBOARD, with the exception that less than
three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). 9th, 11th and 13th chords
cannot be played. This type is available only for style playback.
The following list shows the conditions in which the notes played in the left-hand section of the keyboard
can be recognized as a chord.
Fade In/Out
The [FADE IN/OUT] button can be used to produce smooth fade-ins and fade-outs when starting and stopping the style/song
playback. This affects the overall sound of the TYROS — including the your keyboard performance and the Multi Pads, as well
as the styles and songs.
1Press the [FADE IN/OUT] button so that its indicator lights.
2Start the style playback.
The sound will gradually fade in. The [FADE IN/OUT] indicator will flash during the
fade-in, and then go out when full volume has been reached.
3Press the [FADE IN/OUT] button again so that its indicator lights.
The indicator will flash during the fade out, then the style playback will stop when the
fade-out is complete.
Tempo
Each style of the TYROS has been programmed with a default or standard tempo; however, this
can be changed to any value between 5 and 500 beats per minute by using the [TEMPO] button.
This can be done either before the style playback is started or while it is playing. When you select
a different style while the style is not playing, the “default” tempo for that style is also selected.
If the style is playing, the same tempo is maintained even if you select a different style.
■ Tap function........................................................................................................................................................
This useful function lets you press the [TAP TEMPO] button to tap out the tempo and automatically start the style at that
tapped speed. Simply tap (press/release) the button (four times for a 4/4 time signature), and the style playback starts
automatically at the tempo you tapped. The tempo can also be changed during playback by tapping the button twice at the
desired tempo.
