Voices and Keyboard Parts

As you know by now, the TYROS has a wide variety of musical instrument sounds, referred to as "voices." And, as shown on
page 74, the TYROS allows you to independently select and play up to four voice parts at the same time in a number of ways.
Any voice can be assigned to any part. Since there are four different parts, be careful to confirm which parts are selected, and
make sure not to confuse one part for another as you select voices for them.
See below for details on confirming the currently selected part, and instructions on selecting parts.
You can confirm the currently selected part by checking which
lamp of the [PART SELECT] buttons lights. To select the
desired keyboard part, press the corresponding part button.

Each key has a note name; for example, the lowest (farthest left) key on the keyboard corresponds to C1
and the highest (farthest right) key to C6.

This function causes the LEFT part voice to be held even when the keys are released. Non-decaying
voices such as strings are held continuously, while decay-type voices such as piano decay more slowly
(as if the sustain pedal has been pressed). This function is especially effective when used with style
playback. For example, if you play and release a chord in the Chord section of the keyboard (with the
Left part on and the Left voice set to Strings), the strings part sustains, adding a natural richness to the
overall accompaniment sound.
