Creating Drum Voices (Custom Drum Voice) - Yamaha Tyros4 Reference Manual

Creating Drum Voices (Custom Drum Voice)

By assigning the instruments (drum/percussion) of Preset Drum Voices and Wave files to each key, you can create your
original Drum Voices—not only by creating the Voice from scratch, but also by adding/replacing the instruments within
existing Drum Voices with other instruments of Preset Drum Voice and your own Wave files, and by editing selected
parameters of each key. The resulting Voice is called a Custom Drum Voice and can be selected and played in the same
way as all other Tyros4 Voices.
