Transposing The Pitch Of The Keyboard; Using The Wheels - Yamaha Tyros4 Owner's Manual

Transposing the Pitch of the Keyboard

The TRANSPOSE [-]/[+] buttons transpose the overall pitch of the instrument (the key-
board sound, Style playback, Song playback, and so on) in semitone steps. Press the [+]
and [-] buttons simultaneously to instantly reset the transpose value to 0.
The UPPER OCTAVE [-]/[+] buttons allow the pitch of the RIGHT 1–3 parts to be shifted
up or down by one octave. Press the [+] and [-] buttons simultaneously to instantly reset
the octave value to 0.
Default Pitch setting
By default, the reference pitch of the entire instrument is set to 440.0 Hz, and the scale to equal temperament. You can
change the pitch and scale from [FUNCTION]  [A] MASTER TUNE/SCALE TUNE. You can also adjust the pitch
for each part (keyboard parts, Style parts and Song parts) on the TUNE page of the Mixing Console display (page 86).
For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.

Using the Wheels

Using the Pitch Bend Wheel
Use the PITCH BEND wheel to bend notes up (roll the wheel away from you) or down
(roll the wheel toward you) while playing the keyboard. The Pitch Bend is applied to all
the keyboard parts (RIGHT 1–3 and LEFT). The PITCH BEND wheel is self-centering
and will automatically return to normal pitch when released.
The maximum pitch bend range can be changed on the Mixing Console display: [MIX-
ING CONSOLE]  TAB [][] TUNE  [H] PITCH BEND RANGE.
NOTE
The Transpose functions do not affect
the Drum Kit or SFX Kit Voices.
NOTE
You can also change the transpose set-
tings in the MIXING CONSOLE display:
[MIXING CONSOLE]  TAB [][]
TUNE  [1 ]–[3 ] TRANS-
POSE.
NOTE
The effects caused by using the PITCH
BEND Wheel may not be applied to the
LEFT part during Style playback
depending on the Style setting.
