Adding Articulation Effects To Super Articulation Voices - Yamaha Tyros3 Owner's Manual

Using the Modulation Wheel
The Modulation function applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. By
default, this is applied to the keyboard parts RIGHT 1–3. Moving the MODULATION
wheel down (toward you) decreases the depth of the effect, while moving it up (away
from you) increases it.

Adding Articulation Effects to Super Articulation Voices

With the [ART. 1]/[ART. 2] buttons, you can add articulation effects and characteristic
instrument performance sounds to your playing. When you select a SA or SA2 Voice, the
[ART. 1] and/or [ART. 2] buttons may light in green. Pressing a lit button adds articula-
tion. (Pressing a button which is not lit has no effect.)
Depending on the selected Voice, there are three types of effects.
● Type 1
With this type, you can use the available [ART] button to trigger different playing effects,
separate from your keyboard playing. For example, in the case of the SA Saxophone
Voice, pressing the [ART. 1] button produces the sound of a sax player taking a breath,
and pressing the [ART. 2] button produces the noise of the saxophone's keys. (You can
effectively intersperse these into the notes as you play.) In the case of the SA JazzClean
Voice in GUITAR category, the [ART. 1] button produces a body tapping sound and the
[ART. 2] button produces some fret noise.
While the articulation effect sounds, the button lights in red.
