Adding Articulation Effects To Super Articulation Voices - Yamaha Tyros4 Owner's Manual

Using the Modulation Wheel
The Modulation function applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. By
default, this is applied to the keyboard parts (RIGHT 1–3 and LEFT). Moving the MODU-
LATION wheel down (toward you) decreases the depth of the effect, while moving it up
(away from you) increases it.
You can set whether the effects caused by the MODULATION Wheel will be applied or
not to each of the keyboard part: [FUNCTION]  [D] CONTROLLER  TAB [][]

Adding Articulation Effects to Super Articulation Voices

With the [ART. 1]/[ART. 2] buttons, you can add articulation effects and characteristic
instrument performance sounds to your playing. When you select a SA or SA2 Voice, the
[ART. 1] and/or [ART. 2] buttons may light in blue. Pressing a lit button adds articulation.
(Pressing a button which is not lit has no effect.)
Three examples of effects are introduced to the following.
 Example 1
Pressing the available [ART] button triggers different playing effects, separate from your
keyboard playing. For example, pressing the [ART] button for a SA saxophone Voice can
produce breath noise or key noise, while doing the same for a SA guitar Voice can produce
fret noise or body-tapping sound. You can effectively intersperse these into the notes as
you play.
While the articulation effect sounds, the button lights in red.
