The new Yamaha Tyros2 is a never-ending source of inspiration–for playing, recording, learning, creating and performing. The richly expressive, authentic sounds and the powerful, dynamic rhythms get your creative juices flowing like no other instrument. With the intelligent, easy-to-use performance features and the new audio recording functions, Tyros2 is a treasure chest of inspiration for all your musical applications–from songwriting and demo recording to arranging and live performance. Tyros 2: inspired by nature, perfected by technology, created for your personal inspiration.
Super Articulation Technology
Yamaha introduces a completely new level of sonic realism and musical expressiveness with a brand new technology: Super Articulation. Just play as normal and Super Articulation delivers MegaVoice authenticity to the melody that you play, adding unique performance characteristics of each instrument - for example, the expressive finger-slides on guitar, or the breathy, legato phrasing
of a saxophone. Never before have stringed, wind and brass instruments–played live with a keyboard–sounded so convincing or so real! And these voices can be played right away without any special technique. However, to help you get the most out of them, Tyros2 has an online Information window that provides performance details on each voice–that pops up at the touch of a button.
Audio Rendering
One of the most impressive new features of the Tyros2 is the Hard Disk Recorder. It allows you to directly record the sound of the instrument to an optional installed hard disk drive as digital audio data–for pristine, absolutely noise-free audio quality. Naturally, you can record your voice, guitar or other acoustic and electric instruments as well, and mix them with the Tyros 2 sound. The recording is a simple stereo file, but you can freely overdub additional parts as desired–with little to no loss of sound quality. Moreover, if you have a computer and audio editing software, you can also edit the sound file as needed, and then re-import it to Tyros Two.
FSX Keyboard
Tyros2 has a professional FSX keyboard action that is smooth, fast and responsive and is the only Arranger Workstation from Yamaha that is equipped with both initial touch and after touch, so that you can dynamically and expressively control the level of the voices with your playing strength, just as on an acoustic instrument.
Custom Voice Creating (Sample/Playback)
Tyros2 has two enormously powerful features that let you craft your own Voices: Voice Creator and Voice Set.
Voice Creator allows you to import your own audio samples and waveforms, and assign them to the keys as desired–letting you build completely new Voices with completely new sounds.
Voice Set provides tools for editing a Voice–changing its filter, envelope and vibrato settings, as well as making modulation assignments and adjusting the EQ and effects.
The end result is a Custom Voice that can be selected and played just like all the other Tyros two Voices. For added convenience, you can auto-load an entire library of voices when you turn the keyboard on. Tyros2 ships with 4 MB of sample RAM which you can easily expand to 1 GB using standard computer RAM, giving you plenty of capacity for samples. You can even store the samples on the optional hard disk. With Voice Creator sample playback capability, you can load sample in WAV and AIFF format, offering an almost unlimited range of sounds that you can buy off the shelf.
Online, on-demand music
Bring your Tyros2 online and tap into the worldwide music network! Yamaha has created two new, essential online services for musicians everywhere: Internet Direct Connection (IDC) and Digital Music Notebook (DMN). IDC lets you connect the Tyros2 directly to the Internet–without a computer–letting you delve into the thousands of MIDI songs on our custom website, and download your favorite music for playback on the Tyros2. DMN, on the other hand, is a combination online music library and special music learning/performance program for your computer. The DMN catalog contains thousands of popular songs for downloading, and each song can be printed, played back with the Tyros2 sounds (with variable tempo), displayed as notation on the LCD, and even used with the accompaniment Styles of the instrument. This last feature is especially cool since it lets you find the
right Style to fit the song, or experiment with unusual Style and Song combinations.
Large Color Display and Video Output
One of the first things you notice about Tyros2 is its beautiful extra-large, full-color, high-resolution display. The adjustable display tilts up for ease in viewing, and shows all important settings and parameters at a glance. The display signal can also be sent to an external TV – perfect for sing-a-long events and houses of worship, or monitor - perfect for home studios and permanent installations.
Bursting with innovation, the spectacular Tyros 2 obliterates the limits faced by traditional keyboards. With a host of new features which will satisfy both the home player and the most demanding professional, Tyros 2 is the most powerful digital keyboard ever. Taking sonic realism to even greater levels, 'Super Articulation' adds unique performance characteristics to a range of orchestral voices. 400 styles, featuring new MegaVoices and stereo drum samples, organs, electric pianos and pad sounds create an awesome sound field. Also available is a host of new organ sounds and styles from Theatre and Classical through to Jazz and Rock.
Tyros 2 is set to be the most significant new Yamaha keyboard ever.
MegaVoice
Used primarily in MIDI recording, the MegaVoices provide enhanced realism and expression for your songs. They make special use of velocity switching, with completely different sounds in the various velocity ranges. For example, a guitar MegaVoice has mutes, slides and finger noise assigned to different velocity ranges, making the voice difficult to "play" in real time, but very useful when creating realistic MIDI tracks. Special MEGAEnhancer software Tyros 2 (free download) automatically converts your conventional song data for MegaVoice use.
Voices
The Tyros2 has over 500 dynamic, realistic Voices, covering virtually every instrument category in the real world, as well as other-world-like sounds! The Organ Flutes section has a wealth of organ sounds from Theatre to Jazz and Classical to Rock, while the special Live!, Cool! and Sweet! categories give you a huge palette of acoustic and electronic instrument Voices, using stereo and multilayered samples to fully capture the natural presence, expression and vibrato of the real instruments.
Effects
Tyros2 has a comprehensive set of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) tools, effects that let you enhance the sound with the recreated ambience of a concert hall or the warmth of chorusing, or even a rich rotary speaker effect. Versatile EQ processing gives you fine control over the overall tone and timbre. Plus, there are many special effects you can use, such as Distortion, Auto Wah and Pitch Change, to completely transform the sound of each Voice.
Super Articulation
Introducing a completely new level of sonic realism and musical expressiveness. The remarkably authentic Voices feature the unique performance characteristics of each instrument, the expressive finger-slides on the guitar, or the breathy, legato phrasing of a saxophone. Never before have string, wind and brass instruments, played live with a keyboard, sounded so convincing or so real!
Styles and Multi Pads
If you're looking for a pro backing band to support your performance, the Tyros2 has everything you could ask for, and more. The 400 built-in accompaniment Styles, each with 15 different sections, and the versatile real-time controls give you the power to perform fully arranged songs, instantly, intuitively and interactively. To spice up your performance, use the Multi Pads to trigger a wide selection of one-shot phrases and special loops while you play.
Music Finder
When you want to play in a certain genre of music but don't know which settings to choose, what can you do? Music Finder has the answer. It features over 1,800 preset records, each with its own specially selected Style and Voice settings and choice of four registrations.
One Touch Settings
This versatile performance feature provides four specially programmed settings for each Style. Simply select the Style you want, then press one of the One Touch Setting buttons, and the Tyros2 is instantly reconfigured, with the proper Voices and effects, for playing in that style of music.
Registration Memory
Eight Registration Memory presets give you instant, total recall of your favorite panel settings, including which song and Style are selected, and which Voices are assigned to the keyboard.
Vocal Harmony
Connect a microphone, and let the Tyros2 automatically add backup singers to your voice! The added vocal harmony parts instantly follow the chords you play, and you can even select different harmony styles to match the music.
FSX keyboard
The Tyros2 features the highest quality synthesizer keyboard we've ever made: the FSX keyboard. Physically, the keys are of high-precision manufacture and offer greater durability than conventional models. Most importantly, however, the keyboard has enhanced touch response, making it the most expressive and musical keyboard in its class.
Song Creating
Thanks to the built-in 16-track MIDI sequencer, the Tyros2 is truly a songwriter's delight. Record your keyboard performance in real time or use the Step Record feature to enter each note individually. There's even an Easy Record function that lets you instantly record fully arranged songs, including accompaniment styles, just pres REC and START/STOP! Use the quantize features to automatically clean up the timing of your performance, and replace specific song sections with the easy Punch In/Out recording function.
Style Creating
The accompaniment power of the Tyros 2 extends far beyond the hundreds of professionally arranged built-in styles of the instrument. With the versatile Style Creator feature, you can change the content of existing styles or even create your own new, original styles from scratch. Or combine various parts from different styles and come up with unusual "hybrid" accompaniments.
Voice Creating
Voice Creator and Voice Set are two powerful features that let you craft your own Custom Voices. Voice Creator allows you to import your own audio samples and waveforms, and assign them to the keys as desired, letting you build completely new Voices with completely new sounds. Voice Set gives you tools for editing a Voice, changing its filter, envelope and vibrato settings, as well as making modulation assignments and adjusting the EQ and effects.
Hard Disk Recorder
Directly record the sound of the Tyros2 to an optional installed hard disk drive as digital audio data, for pristine, absolutely noise-free audio quality. Naturally, you can record your voice, guitar or other acoustic and electric instruments as well, and mix them with the Tyros2 sound. Overdub additional parts as desired to the stereo track, too. And if you have a computer and audio editing software, edit the sound file as needed, and then re-import it to the Tyros2.
Connect to computer
You'll find that the Tyros2 is extremely computer friendly. The built-in USB connections let you freely exchange and save your important data, and use your computer to take full control over the Tyros2 features. A single USB connection lets you access both MIDI ports, for up to 32 channels of MIDI recording. Two separate USB TO DEVICE terminals are included, one on the front panel, for convenient connection of storage devices such as USB memory sticks.
Extensive software
Connect to a computer and extend the musical potential of the Tyros2. Included with the instrument is the Tyros2 Voice Editor, which provides comprehensive, eay-to-use control over the voice and effect parameters. Data is transferred between the computer and Tyros2 in real time, so you can play the voice as soon as you've edited it. Another versatile tool is the MEGAEnhancer for Tyros2 (free download), which converts conventional MIDI song data for use with the amazing MegaVoices.
Compatible
Naturally, the Tyros2 is backwards compatible with the original Tyros and can play all of your existing music software, reading and playing SFF (style), SMF (song) as well as DOC (song) files. Tyros2 also supports the sound standards GM, GM2 and XG. A convenient File Converter application for your PC is also included which allows registration data from the PSR-9000 and 9000Pro models to be converted and played back on the Tyros2.
Online, On-demand Music (IDC)
Bring your Tyros2 online and tap into the worldwide music network! Yamaha has created a new, essential online service for musicians everywhere: Internet Direct Connection (IDC). IDC lets you connect the Tyros2 directly to the Internet, without a computer, letting you delve into thousands of MIDI songs on our custom website, and download your favorite music for playback on the Tyros2.
Large color display
One of the first things you notice about the Tyros2 is its beautiful extra-large, full-color, high-resolution display. The adjustable display tilts up for ease in viewing, and shows all important settings and parameters at a glance. The display signal can also be sent to an external monitor, perfect for sing-along events and houses of worship.
Score and Lyrics display
When we gave the Tyros2 an extra large display, we decided to give it some extra display features as well. These include display of the song notation (score) and lyrics (for songs that have score and lyric data). A special Text display function allows you to show text files you've created on your computer, making it possible to display lyrics for songs that don't have lyric data, or for creating your own onscreen chord charts and song memos.
Making learning fun and easy
The Tyros2 also has a wealth of features that enhance your music studies, making it both fun and easy to learn new songs. There are keyboard guide functions that pause song playback and wait for you to play the correct notes. There's even a bouncing ball in the display that shows you in real time what melody notes to play. Tyros 2 has convenient performance and learning features for singers as well, adding to your playing enjoyment.
Expandability
As your musical needs grow, the Tyros2 can grow with them. Install a hard disk drive inside the instrument and gain massive storage capability for your Custom Voices, Styles, Registrations and song data, as well as storage for audio created with the Hard Disk Recorder function. Add the optional TRS-MS02 speakers with subwoofer, and enjoy a full, self-contained keyboard system. For maximum expressive potential and easy program changes, hook up the MFC10 MIDI foot controller.

Yamaha hard drive/RAM notes:
Requires a 2.5-inch IDE hard drive . As large as you might want for recording audio. We have tried Fujitsu, Toshiba, Hitachi, Samsung and Seagate drives in many different sizes with no problems. Tyros2 comes standard with 4 MB RAM ungradable to 1 GB . You can put samples into RAM, SDRAM 168-PIN DIMM PC133 has worked fine. Specs from manual page 223: Yamaha recommends that you purchase DIMMs that conform to the JEDEC* standard. Please be aware, however, that conformance to this standard does not constitute a guarantee that the DIMMs will operate correctly on the Tyros2.
* JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) sets standards for terminal configurations within electronic devices.
• Use only 168-pin DIMMs of 64, 128, 256 or 512 MB capacity (synchronized DRAM; PC100 or PC133).
• Use only DIMMs that have a height 38.2 mm or less.
• When installing DIMMs, make sure to install them in a matched pair of the same capacity. You cannot install only one
module and leave the second memory socket open. Also make sure each DIMM in the pair is of the same manufacturer and the same type. DIMMs of different makers and configurations may not work together.
• When purchasing DIMMs, make sure that the DIMM design does not utilize more than 18 memory chips per module. (DIMMs comprised of more than 18 chips do not operate correctly on the Tyros2.)
