Tyros4

Owner’s Manual

The vibrato effect applied when a Song is

recorded sounds different when it is played

back.

This may occur when you use SA2 Voices which have their own default vibrato value.

Depending on the Modulation wheel position, the default vibrato value may be recorded

or the modulation wheel value may be recorded, regardless of the actual vibrato sound

you have played. To remedy this:

• Select a Voice AFTER you set the Modulation wheel to minimum (down) position.

• If you want to cancel the vibrato effect, set the Modulation wheel to minimum position

AFTER Song recording starts.

Audio Recorder/Player

Audio files cannot be selected.

The file format may not be compatible with the instrument. The compatible formats are:

MP3 and WAV. The DRM protected files cannot be played back.

Recorded file is played back at a different vol-

ume compared to when it was recorded.

The audio playback volume has been changed. Setting the volume value to 90 plays

back the file as the same volume when it was recorded (page 80).

An audio song in the internal HDD cannot be

copied or cut.

The audio song file name (which contains the file path, internally) in the internal HDD

may be too long. Shorten the song name or copy/paste the file to a higher folder level.

In the Audio Recorder/Player function, an error

message appears and audio cannot be

recorded to the internal hard disk drive.

The data on the hard disk drive is fragmented and cannot be used as is. Since there is

no defragmentation function in the Audio Recorder/Player, the drive can only be defrag-

mented by formatting it. To do this, first back up the data to a computer by using the

USB storage mode (page 103), then format the drive, and finally copy the data back to

the drive (using the USB storage mode again). Performing this copy/restore operation

effectively defragments the drive, allowing you to use it again.

Mixing Console

The sound seems strange or different than

expected when changing a rhythm Voice

(drum kit, etc.) of the Style or Song from the

Mixer.

When changing the rhythm/percussion Voices (drum kits, etc.) of the Style and Song

from the VOICE parameter, the detailed settings related to the drum voice are reset,

and in some cases you may be unable to restore the original sound. In the case of

Song playback, you can restore the original sound by returning to the beginning of the

Song and playing back from that point. In the case of Style play, you can restore the

original sound by selecting the same Style again.

Microphone/Vocal Harmony

The microphone input signal cannot be

recorded.

The microphone input signal cannot be recorded by Song recording. Use the Audio

Recorder/Player function (page 76).

Harmony can be heard in addition to the

microphone sound.

Vocal Harmony is set to on. Turn Vocal Harmony off (page 83).

The Vocal Harmony effect sounds distorted or

out-of-tune.

Your vocal microphone may be picking up extraneous sounds, such as the Style sound

from the instrument. In particular, bass sounds can cause mistracking of the Vocal Har-

mony. To remedy this:

• Sing as closely to the microphone as possible.

• Use a directional microphone.

• Turn down the Master volume, Style volume, or Song volume control (pages 16, 53).

• Separate the microphone from the external speakers as much as possible.

ASSIGNABLE FOOT PEDAL jacks

The on/off setting of the footswitch connected

to the ASSIGNABLE FOOT PEDAL jack is

reversed.

Turn the instrument’s power off, then turn on again without pressing the footswitch.

AUX IN jacks

Sound input to the AUX IN jacks is interrupted.

The output volume of the external device connected to this instrument is too low.

Increase the output volume of the external device. The volume level reproduced via this

instrument can be adjusted by using the [MASTER VOLUME] control.

USB TO HOST terminal/MIDI terminals

When connecting the instrument to a com-

puter, the computer freezes.

An old USB-MIDI driver which is incompatible with the instrument has been installed to

the computer. Disconnect the instrument from the computer and uninstall the old driver,

then install the latest USB-MIDI driver. The latest driver can be downloaded from

Yamaha website (http://music-tyros.com/).
