Applying Voice Effects - Yamaha Tyros3 Owner's Manual

Applying Voice Effects

The Tyros3 features a sophisticated multi-processor effect system which can add extraordinary depth and expression to
your sound. This effect system can be turned on or off by using the following buttons.

● HARMONY/ECHO
The Harmony/Echo types are applied to the right-hand Voices. Refer to "Applying Har-
mony to Your Right-hand Melody" on page 45.
● INITIAL TOUCH
This button turns the touch response of the keyboard on or off. When OFF, the same
volume is produced no matter how strongly or softly you play the keyboard.
● SUSTAIN
When this Sustain function is on, all notes played on the keyboard with right-hand part
(RIGHT 1, 2, 3) have a longer sustain.
● MONO
When this button is on, the part's Voice is played monophonically (only one note at a
time). Using the MONO mode lets you play single, lead sounds (such as brass instru-
ments) more realistically. It also lets you expressively control the Portamento effect
(depending on the selected Voice) by playing legato.
When this button is off, the part's Voice played polyphonically.
● DSP/DSP VARIATION
With the digital effects built into the instrument, you can add ambience and depth to
your music in a variety of ways—such as adding reverb that makes you sound like you are
playing in a concert hall.
The [DSP] button is used to turn the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) effect on or off for
the currently selected keyboard part.
The [VARIATION] button is used to change between variations of the DSP effect. You
could use this while you play, for example, to change the rotating speed (slow/fast) of the
rotary speaker effect.
