TYROS Owner’s Manual

The TYROS features a variety of lush, dynamic organ voices that you can call up with the [ORGAN FLUTES] button.

It also gives you the tools to create your own original organ sounds by using the Sound Creator (called up with the

[SOUND CREATOR] button).

Just as on a traditional organ, you can create your own sounds by adjusting the levels of the ﬂute footages.

Sound Creator Parameters (Organ Flutes Voices)

The Organ Flutes parameters are organized into three different pages, and can be set as described in step #3 of

the “Basic Procedure” above. These can also be programmed as part of the Voice Set parameters (page 151),

to be automatically called up when the voice is selected.

■ FOOTAGE

ORGAN TYPE This LCD button specifies the type of organ tone generation to be simulated: Sine or Vin-

tage.

ROTARY SP SPEED

This LCD button alternately switches between the slow and fast rotary speaker speeds

when a rotary speaker effect is selected for the Organ Flutes (see “DSP Type” below), and

the VOICE EFFECT [DSP] button is turned on (this LCD button has the same effect as the

VOICE EFFECT [VARIATION] button).

VIBRATO ON/OFF This LCD button alternately turns the vibrato effect for the Organ Flutes voice ON or OFF.

VIBRATO DEPTH This LCD button sets the Vibrato depth to one of three levels: 1 (low), 2 (mid), or 3 (high).

16' - 1' (Footage)

These LCD buttons determine the basic sound of the organ flutes. The term “footage” is a

reference to the sound generation of traditional pipe organs, in which the sound is produced

by pipes of different lengths (in feet). The longer the pipe, the lower the pitch of the sound.

Hence, the 16' setting determines the lowest pitched component of the voice, while the 1'

setting determines the highest pitched component. The higher the value of the setting, the

greater the volume of the corresponding footage. Mixing various volumes of the footages

lets you create your own distinctive organ sounds.
