Reference Voices Changing Pitch on the TYROS The TYROS has a variety of pitch-related controls and functions, as described below. I PITCH BEND Wheel...Use the TYROS PITCH BEND wheel to bend notes up (roll the wheel away from you) or down (roll the wheel toward you) while playing the keyboard. The Pitch Bend is applied to all the keyboard parts (RIGHT1 - 3 and LEFT). The PITCH BEND wheel is self-centering and will automatically return to normal pitch when released. PITCH BEND UP DOWN • The maximum pitch bend range can be changed on the MIXING CONSOLE display (page 135). • If the Pitch Bend range is set to more than 1200 cents (1 octave) via MIDI, the pitch of some voices may not be raised or lowered completely. I MODULATION Wheel ...The Modulation function applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. This is applied to all the keyboard parts (RIGHT1 - 3 and LEFT). Moving the MODULATION wheel down (towards MIN) decreases the depth of the effect, while moving it up (towards MAX) increases it. MODULATION MAX MIN • To avoid accidently applying modulation, make sure the MODULATION Wheel is set at MIN before you start playing. • The MODULATION Wheel can be set to control a different parameter other than vibrato (page 86). I Transpose ...With this function, you can transpose the pitch of the TYROS up or down over a range of ±2 octaves in semitone steps. Three transposing methods (Keyboard, Song, and Master) are available; select the desired method in the [FUNCTION] → CONTROLLER → KEYBOARD/PANEL display (page 154), then use the [TRANSPOSE] buttons to change the value. G Keyboard Transpose The [TRANSPOSE] buttons affect the pitch of the keyboard sound, the style playback pitch, and the pitch of the Multi Pads for which Chord Match has been set to on. Note that the transposition is applied from the next note (or style chord) played, after one of the [TRANSPOSE] buttons has been pressed. G Song Transpose The [TRANSPOSE] buttons affect only song playback. Note that the transposition is applied from the next note of song playback after one of the [TRANSPOSE] buttons has been pressed. G Master Transpose The [TRANSPOSE] buttons affect the overall pitch of the TYROS. TRANSPOSE RESET Normal pitch (transpose value of "0") can be recalled at any time by pressing both the [+] and [-] buttons simultaneously. The transposition can be adjusted from the Mixing Console display (page 135). I Upper Octave... UPPER OCTAVE RESET See page 28 in "Quick Guide." 82 TYROS Owner's Manual 80
