Displaying Lyrics

If the selected song has lyric data, you can have the lyrics shown in the display by pressing the [LYRICS/TEXT]
button. The Lyrics feature offers a number of useful possibilities:
• The phrases to be sung are highlighted in time with the music, making it easy to follow the words and sing
along with the song. Connect a microphone and you can even have your voice mixed with the song accom-
paniment as it plays.
• Connect an external monitor to the Tyros2, and you can have the lyrics displayed on the monitor—for
group sing-alongs and the like. You can even set the Tyros2 so that the lyrics are shown on the monitor
while the LCD of the instrument displays a different operation or function. (Select [FUNCTION] →
SCREEN OUT.)

changed.
