Voice Editing (Voice Set)

The Tyros2 has a Voice Set feature that allows you to create your own voices by editing some parameters of the
existing voices. Once you've created a voice, you can save it as a User voice to the User drive or external devices for
future recall.
Basic Procedure
Select the desired voice (other than an
1
Organ Flutes voice).
2
Press the [VOICE SET]
LCD button (upper [5]
button) to call up the
Voice Set display.

Parameters

The Voice Set parameters are organized into five different pages, and can be set as described in step #3 of the "Basic Procedure"
above. These can also be programmed as part of the Voice Set parameters (page 188), to be automatically called up when the
voice is selected.
Keep in mind that these parameters do not apply to the Organ Flutes voices, which have their own set of parameters (page 89).

Determines the volume of the current edited voice.
Depth determines the degree to which
velocity affects the voice. Higher val-
ues make the voice more sensitive to
changes in velocity. Offset determines
the volume range over which velocity is
effective. For lower values, the velocity
affects a volume range from minimum
to medium-loud. For higher values, ve-
locity affects a range from medium-soft
to maximum.
Shifts the octave range of the edited voice up or down in octaves. When the edited voice is used as any of the
RIGHT 1–3 parts, the R1/R2/R3 parameter is available; when the edited voice is used as the LEFT part, the
LEFT parameter is available.
Determines whether the edited voice is played monophonically or polyphonically (page 87).
Sets the portamento time when the edited voice is set to "MONO" above.
NOTE
by editing Custom voices (created
on a computer). You can also edit
any previously created User voice
to make a new voice.
CAUTION
If you select another voice without saving the settings, the
settings will be lost. If you wish to store the settings here,
make sure to save the settings as a User Voice before select-
ing another voice or turning the power off.
