Using a Microphone
Connect a microphone to the TYROS and take advantage of the following features:
● Song Score and Lyrics display (pages 88, 90) — for ease in following along with a song.
● Guide (page 48) — for practicing your singing and learning the proper pitches.
● Vocal Harmony (page 47) — for automatically adding harmony vocals to your voice.
● Talk (page 132) — for instantly changing the microphone settings, for making announcements between songs.
You can also apply DSP effects to your voice or make other microphone-related settings from the Mixing Console
display (page 134).
