he Tyros2 from Yamaha is an advanced, professional 61-key arranger workstation keyboard. Ideal for live performances and recording applications, the Tyros2 offers a plethora of easy-to-use features including realistic voices, hard disk recording capabilities, video output, and Internet connectivity. Designed to be taken on the road, the Tyros2 is fairly lightweight and compact for easy storage and transportation.Yamaha’s Super Articulation technology brings a high level of realism and authenticity to live playing on the Tyros2. Subtle touches such as guitar finger-slides and breathy saxophone phrasing create a convincing sound that can be played without any special technique. To help you get the most out of each voice, a detailed information window can be displayed on the built-in LCD.MegaVoice technology provides sonic realism primarily intended for MIDI recording. The MegaVoices make use of velocity switching, creating totally different sounds in different velocity ranges. An example of this would be a guitar MegaVoice, which would offer various performance techniques at different velocities. This level of velocity precision makes live MegaVoice playing difficult, but it is perfect for programming realistic MIDI tracks.
The Tyros2 also offers direct recording to an optional, user-installed internal hard disk. You can record your voice or an instrument as a pristine stereo audio file and mix the file with existing Tyros2 sounds. If desired, the sound files can be computer-edited and re-imported to the Tyros2 for excellent precision.
Voice Creator and Voice Set provide tools for creating your own voices, with complete control along the way. Import your own samples, edit the sounds, and assign the new voices to any keys you wish. 4MB of sample RAM is included, and you can expand the capacity up to 1GB – plenty of storage for WAV and AIFF samples.
Two online music services are available for users of the Tyros2. Using a USB to LAN adapter (available separately), Internet Direct Connection (IDC) allows the keyboard to access the Internet without a PC to find thousands of MIDI songs on Yamaha’s custom website, which can be downloaded and played back on the Tyros2. Digital Music Notebook (DMN) is an online music library and learning/performance program for your computer that offers thousands of songs for download and printing. You can also play the songs back on your Tyros2 and display notation on the built-in LCD.Compact and LightweightThe 61-key workstation is fairly lightweight and compact, making it easy to take on the road or store in a studio.Professional Keyboard ActionThe professional FSX keyboard action is smooth, fast, and responsive. It is also equipped with initial touch and after touch for a dynamic response that responds to the strength at which you play the keys – just like an acoustic piano.Super Articulation TechnologySuper Articulation brings a high level of realism to your live playing by adding subtle nuances such as guitar finger-slides and breathy saxophone phrasing without requiring any special playing technique. Forty-two Super Articulation voices are built-in for a wide range of instruments.MegaVoice TechnologyEighteen velocity-sensitive MegaVoices are included for realistic instrumentation of your MIDI recordings. Each voice offers a range of sounds, which are expressed depending on the velocity at which keys are played.Voices and EffectsAfter Super Articulation and MegaVoice, over 500 realistic voices are included to cover practically every instrument category on the planet. A full set of DSP effects such as reverb, chorus, and EQ are available for enhancement and customization of the voices.Accompaniment Styles and MultipadsFour hundred built-in backing styles are provided with the Tyros2, each with 15 “sections” that can be called up with the touch of a backlit button. Real time controls let you perform fully-arranged songs instantly and intuitively. For that bit of extra spice, 120 multipads offer a variety of phrases and loops that can be quickly triggered while playing.Style CreationThe 400 built-in styles aren’t your limit for accompaniment. Using the Style Creator, you can create original styles or change the content of existing ones. Separate styles can also be combined to create an all-new sound.Hard Disk RecordingYou may install a 2.5″ internal IDE hard disk into the Tyros2, which can then be used to record and play back stereo files from a microphone or instrument. If desired, the files can be edited on a computer and re-imported into the Tyros2 to be mixed with the built-in sounds.Custom SamplingVoice Creator and Voice Set provide you with all the tools needed to create custom samples. You have full control of recording, editing, and assigning keys to build new voices for your Tyros2. 4MB of sample RAM is included, which can be expanded to 1GB using standard computer RAM. Samples can also be stored on the optional internal hard disk.Internet Connectivity and ServiceInternet Direct Connection (IDC) allows you to use an optional USB to LAN adapter to connect the Tyros2 directly to the Internet without a computer, where it can access a library of thousands of MIDI songs that can be downloaded for playback. Digital Music Notebook (DMN) is an online library and learning/performance program that is accessed from your computer. The DMN catalog has thousands of songs that can be downloaded, printed, played back on the Tyros2, and displayed as notation on the LCD.MIDI SequencerThe built-in 16-track MIDI sequencer provides the ultimate ease in recording your live performance. A step record feature also lets you program each note individually. Easy record mode lets you include accompaniment styles for instantly recording fully-arranged songs.
