PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical
shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or
radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the
cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where
anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The
required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• Use only the supplied power cord/plug.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust
which may have accumulated on it.
• Be sure to connect to an appropriate outlet with a protective
grounding connection. Improper grounding can result in electrical
shock.
• This instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt
to disassemble or modify the internal components in any way. If it
should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately
and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or
wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which
might spill into any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into
the instrument, turn off the power immediately and unplug the
power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
• When one of the following problems occur, immediately turn off the
power switch and disconnect the electric plug from the outlet. Then
have the device inspected by Yamaha service personnel.
• The power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged.
• It emits unusual smells or smoke.
• Some object has been dropped into the instrument.
• There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage
to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a
multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or
possibly cause overheating in the outlet.
• Always connect the three-pin attachment plug to a properly
grounded power source. (For more information about the main
power supply, see page 16.)
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet,
always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can
damage it.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not
to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might
accidentally fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are
using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs,
immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from
the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is
still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are not
using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power
cord from the wall AC outlet.
• Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the
stand, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause
damage to the internal components or result in the instrument
falling over.

• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps
on the panel or keyboard.
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the
instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches
or connectors.
• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of
time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause
permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or
ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Tyros4 Owner’s Manual 9
Main Features
-Extraordinarily expressive and realistic Voices
The Tyros4 has an expanded and enhanced set of exceptionally authentic Voices, and gives you the means to play these Voices
more naturally and with greater expressiveness. In particular, the instrument has many new Super Articulation Choir Voices,
with amazingly realistic and natural human voice sounds—giving you even more expressive capability.
-Powerful, professional Auto Accompaniment Styles
The Styles of the Tyros4 have been vastly enhanced with the expert use of new Super Articulation and Super Articulation 2
Voices. Greater and more expressive variations in the MegaVoices have been employed as well, particularly in the Scat and
Gospel Voices.
-Dynamic and Versatile Vocal Harmony feature—with Synth Vocoder
The newly enhanced Vocal Harmony 2 (VH2) (page 82) processing engine delivers superior sound, lightning-fast processing,
and comprehensive, flexible control of the harmonies applied to your singing voice. It also has a Synth Vocoder feature, provid-
ing the dynamic, popular vocoder effect for a variety of luscious and even other-worldly sounds. Moreover, the rear-panel
combo jack lets you easily connect either XLR mic cables or 1/4" phone plug.
-Voice expandability
Tyros4 is an open-ended instrument that lets you continually expand the available content for your creative explorations.
Yamaha has a special website (http://music-tyros.com/) featuring Premium Voices, Waves, Songs and Styles, etc. (called Pre-
mium Pack data) that can be purchased and loaded to the Tyros4. (In order to use the additional Waves and Voices you pur-
chased, you’ll need to install the optional Flash Memory Expansion Module.)
-Audio recording and playback
Tyros4 lets you record your performances as audio data (page 75), with two different methods, Simple (quick and easy record-
ing to a single audio track) and Multi Track (overdub recording for complex songs). Since the created audio data is saved in
WAV file format, you can edit your recordings on computer and share it over the Internet or burn your own original CD. The
instrument also allows you to play back MP3 data.
-Convenient, easy-to-use Music Finder function
With the enormous wealth of data available on the instrument (including your own Song and Audio data), the Music Finder
function (page 66) lets you instantly find and call up what you need. Not only can you get ideal setups (Voice, Style, etc.) for
each song—searching by song title/genre—you can also easily retrieve your original Song and Audio data (registered before-
hand). Additional new panel settings for the Tyros4 can be directly downloaded from the Internet.
-Enhanced features for directly connecting to the Internet
The Tyros4 can also be directly connected to the Internet with the Internet Direct Connection function (page 90), allowing you
to download special content without the need for a computer. Enhancements include a convenient, easy-to-use IDC Setup Wiz-
ard, as well as new security options, with WPA2 and WPA.
The Tyros4 is compatible with the following formats.
“GM (General MIDI)” is one of the most common Voice allocation formats. “GM System Level 2” is a standard spec-
ification that enhances the original “GM” and improves Song data compatibility. It provides for increased polyphony,
greater Voice selection, expanded Voice parameters, and integrated effect processing.
XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha specifically to provide
more Voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects, and to ensure compatibility
of data well into the future.
GS was developed by the Roland Corporation. In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhancement of the
GM specifically to provide more Voices and Drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expressive control over
Voices and effects.
The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and open-ended
expandability for the future. The Tyros4 is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF file containing lyric data is
played.
“SFF (Style File Format)” is an original Style file format by Yamaha which uses a unique conversion system to pro-
vide high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types. “SFF GE (Guitar Edition)” is an
enhanced format of SFF, which features improved note transposition for guitar tracks.
“AEM” is the trademark of Yamaha’s leading-edge tone generation technology. For information on AEM, refer to
page 37.

Connecting Headphones or Optional Speaker
Since the Tyros4 has no built-in speakers, you’ll need to monitor the sound of the instrument by using external equip-
ment. Connect a set of headphones to the [PHONES] jack or use the speaker system, such as the optional TRS-MS04
speakers. For instructions on installing the TRS-MS04 to the Tyros4, see page 106. For instructions on connecting other
speakers, see page 96.
Shown here is the optional
L-7S Keyboard Stand.
Do not listen with the headphones at high volume for long periods
of time. Doing so may cause hearing loss.
CAUTION
16 Tyros4 Owner’s Manual
Starting Up
This section contains information about setting up your Tyros4 and preparing to play. Be sure to read through
this section carefully before turning the power on.
1Make sure the power on/off switch on the Tyros4 is
set to off.
2Connect the supplied power cord to the AC IN termi-
nal on the instrument’s rear panel.
3Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC
outlet.
Make sure your Tyros4 meets the voltage requirement for the coun-
try or region in which it is being used.
Before you switch your Tyros4 on or off, make sure that the MASTER
VOLUME and MIC GAIN are set to “MIN” and the volume of any con-
nected audio equipment is turned down.
1Press the power on/off switch on the rear panel.
2Use the [MASTER VOLUME] dial to adjust the vol-
ume to an appropriate level.
Power Supply
Make sure your Tyros4 is rated for the AC voltage
supplied in the area in which it is to be used (as
listed on the bottom). Connecting the unit to the
wrong AC supply can cause serious damage to the
internal circuitry and may even pose a shock haz-
ard!
Use only the AC power cord supplied with the
Tyros4. If the supplied cord is lost or damaged and
needs to be replaced, contact your Yamaha dealer.
The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose
a fire and shock hazard!
The type of AC power cord provided with the Tyros4
may be different depending on the country in which
it is purchased (a third prong may be provided for
grounding purposes). Improper connection of the
grounding conductor can create the risk of electri-
cal shock. Do NOT modify the plug provided with
the Tyros4. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do
not use a plug adapter which defeats the grounding
conductor.
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
Turning the Power On
In order to avoid possible damage to the speakers
or other connected electronic equipment, always
switch on the power of the Tyros4 before switching
on the power of the amplified speakers or mixer
and amplifier. Likewise, always switch off the
power off the Tyros4 after switching off the power of
the amplified speakers or mixer and amplifier.
Even when the power switch is turned off, electric-
ity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum
level. When you are not using the instrument for a
long time, make sure you unplug the power cord
from the wall AC outlet.

Voice Types
Voice Characteristics
The Voice type and its defining characteristics are indicated above the Voice name—Live!,
Cool!, Sweet!, etc.. For detailed explanation, refer to the Reference Manual.
In this section, only Mega Voice and Super Articulation Voices (SA and SA2) are
explained. These Voices have special characteristics you should be aware of, and they
require specific performance techniques to bring out all of their expressive qualities.
-MegaVoices
What makes MegaVoices special is their use of velocity switching. Each velocity
range (the measure of your playing strength) has a completely different sound.
For example, a guitar MegaVoice includes the sounds of various performance
techniques. In conventional instruments, different Voices having those sounds
would be called up via MIDI and played in combination to achieve the desired
effect. However, now with MegaVoices, a convincing guitar part can be played
with just a single Voice, using specific velocity values to play the desired sounds.
Because of the complex nature of these Voices and the precise velocities need to
play the sounds, they’re not intended for playing from the keyboard. They are,
however, very useful and convenient when creating MIDI data—especially when
you want to avoid using several different Voices just for a single instrument part.
Holding the LEFT part Voice (Left Hold)
This function causes the LEFT part Voice to be held even when the keys are released. Non-
decaying Voices such as strings are held continuously, while decay-type Voices such as piano
decay more slowly (as if the sustain pedal has been pressed).
Preset Voices

Expansion Voices
This is used for calling up Custom Voices (your original Voices
created with the Voice Creator function), or Premium Voices
(obtained via the Internet at our special website). For details,
refer to the section “Purchasing and Installing Premium Pack
Data” (page 38).
Percussion/Drum Voices
When one of the Voices is selected from this button, you can
play various drums and percussion instruments or SFX
(sound effects) sounds on the keyboard. Details are given in
the Drum List provided in the Data List on the website.
MegaVoices, SA and SA2 Voices are
only compatible with other models
which have those three types of Voices
installed. Any Song, Style or Multi Pads
data you’ve created on the Tyros4 using
these Voices will not sound properly
when played back on other instruments.
MegaVoices, SA and SA2 Voices sound
differently depending on the keyboard
range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you
apply HARMONY/ECHO effect, change
the transpose setting or change the
Voice Set parameters, unexpected or
undesired sounds may result.

Tyros4 Owner’s Manual 37

Voices – Playing the Keyboard –
-Super Articulation Voices
The word “articulation” in music usually refers to the transition or continuity
between notes. This is often reflected in specific performance techniques, such as
staccato, legato and slur. Two types of Voices—Super Articulation (SA) Voices
and Super Articulation 2 (SA2) Voices—enable you to create these subtle musical
expressions, simply by how you play.
SA Voices (S.Articulation!)
The SA Voices provide many of same benefits as the MegaVoices, but with
greater playability and expressive control in real time.
For example, with the Saxophone Voice, if you play a C and then a D in a
very legato way, you will hear the note change seamlessly, as though a saxo-
phone player played it in a single breath. Similarly with the Concert Guitar
Voice, the D note would sound as a “hammer on”, without the string being
plucked again.
Depending on how you play, other effects such as subtle sound produced
when the keys are released or sustain sound that occur when you press the
damper pedal of a grand piano (for the Grand Piano Voice), shake or breath
noises (for the Trumpet Voice), or finger noises (for the Guitar Voice) will be
produced.
SA2 Voices (S. Articulation2!)
For wind instrument Voices and Violin Voices, a special technology called
AEM has been used, which features detailed samples of special expressive
techniques used on those specific instruments—to bend or slide into notes, to
“join” different notes together, or to add expressive nuances at the end of a
note, etc.
You can add these articulations by playing legato or non-legato, or by jump-
ing in pitch by around an octave. For example, using the Clarinet Voice, if
you hold a C note and play the Bb above, you’ll hear a glissando up to the Bb.
Some “note off” effects are also produced automatically when you hold a
note for over a certain time.
Each SA2 Voice has its own default vibrato setting, so that when you select a
SA2 Voice, the appropriate vibrato is applied regardless of the Modulation
wheel position. You can adjust the vibrato by moving the Modulation wheel.
You can also use the [ART. 1]/[ART. 2] buttons to add articulations to the SA and
SA2 Voices (page 40).
For details on how to best play each SA and SA2 Voice, call up the information
window (pressing the [6 ] (INFO) button in the Voice Selection display.)
For more information on AEM technol-
ogy, see below.
NOTE
The characteristics of SA2 Voices
(default vibrato setting and articulation
effects applied by the [ART] buttons) are
effective for real-time performance;
however, these effects may not be com-
pletely reproduced when you play back
a Song which has been recorded using
SA2 Voices.
NOTE
AEM Technology
When you play the piano, pressing a “C” key produces a definite and relatively fixed C note. When you play a
wind instrument, however, a single fingering may produce several different sounds depending on the breath
strength, the note length, the adding of trills or bend effects, and other performance techniques. Also, when
playing two notes continuously—for example “C” and “D”—these two notes will be smoothly joined, and not
sound independent as they would on a piano.
AEM (Articulation Element Modeling) is the technology for simulating this characteristic of instruments. Dur-
ing performance, the most appropriate sound samples are selected in sequence in real time, from huge quanti-
ties of sampled data. They are smoothly joined and sounded—as would naturally occur on an actual acoustic
instrument.
This technology to smoothly join different samples enables the application of realistic vibrato. Conventionally
on electronic musical instruments, vibrato is applied by moving the pitch periodically. AEM technology goes
much further by analyzing and disaggregating the sampled vibrato waves, and smoothly joins the disaggre-
gated data in real time during your performance. If you move the Modulation wheel when you play the SA2
Voice (using AEM technology), you can also control the depth of the vibrato, while maintaining its realistic
quality.

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 TA B [][]

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.
Depending on the selected Voice, the
MODULATION wheel may control vol-
ume, filter or some other parameter
instead of vibrato.
To avoid accidentally applying modula-
tion, make sure the MODULATION
Wheel is set at minimum (down) posi-
tion before you start playing.
The effects caused by using the MODU-
LATION wheel may not be applied to the

Notice for when Super Articulation Voices are selected for multiple parts
When you select SA/SA2 Voices for two or more keyboard parts, using an [ART] button simultaneously affects all
parts on which SA/SA2 Voices are selected.
When a Example 3 effect is assigned to both the Right and Left parts and an [ART] button flashes in red (standby sta-
tus), playing only one part (for example Right part) adds an articulation effect to only the Right part. Since the other
part (Left part) is kept in standby status, the button continues flashing. To cancel the standby status, you need to play
the keyboard in the Left part range. (Pressing the flashing button cannot cancel standby status, because this can cancel
the standby of the Left part but turns the Right part to standby again.)

The Tyros4 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 43.
-INITIAL TOUCH
This button turns the touch response of the keyboard on or off. When OFF, the same vol-
ume 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 play-
ing 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.

patterns (called “Styles”) in a variety of different musical genres
including pop, jazz, and many others. The Style features Auto Accom-
paniment, letting you produce automatic accompaniment playback
simply by playing “chords” with your left hand. This lets you automat-
ically recreate the sound of a full band or orchestra—even if you’re
playing by yourself.

Style Characteristics
The Style type and its defining characteristics are indicated above the Preset Style name.
•Pro: These Styles provide professional and exciting arrangements combined with perfect playability. The
resulting accompaniment exactly follows the chords of the player. As a result, your chord changes and col-
orful harmonies are instantly transformed into lifelike musical accompaniment.
•Session: These Styles provide even greater realism and authentic backing by mixing in original chord types
and changes, as well as special riffs with chord changes, with the Main sections. These have been pro-
grammed to add “spice” and a professional touch to your performances of certain songs and in certain
genres. Keep in mind, however, that the Styles may not necessarily be appropriate—or even harmonically
correct—for all songs and for all chord playing. In some cases for example, playing a simple major triad
for a country song may result in a “jazzy” seventh chord, or playing an on-bass chord may result in inap-
propriate or unexpected accompaniment.
•Free Play: These Styles are characterized by rubato performance. You can perform freely with remarkably

The Tyros4 uses the SFF GE file format (page 9). The Tyros4 can play back existing SFF files, but they will be
saved in the SFF GE format when the file is saved (or pasted) in the Tyros4. Please keep in mind that the saved
file can only be played back on instruments that are compatible with the SFF GE format.

left hand and press any of the Multi Pads—Chord Match changes the pitch to match the chords you play. Keep in mind
that some Multi Pads are not affected by Chord Match.
In this example, the phrase for Pad 1 will be transposed into F major before playing back. Try out other various chord
types while playing the Multi Pads.

Vocal Harmony
– Adding Harmony Vocals and Synth Vocoder to Your Singing –
The Vocal Harmony feature lets you automatically apply harmony
vocals in three different sub-modes (Chordal, Vocoder and Vocoder-
Mono) to your voice as you sing into the connected microphone.
Newly enhanced for the Tyros4, Vocal Harmony features a new har-
mony‐generating engine (called VH2) that provides extraordinarily
realistic harmonies, quickly and accurately tracking the pitch of your
singing, and effectively maintaining the natural qualities of your voice
in the harmony parts.
Included in the feature is a Synth Vocoder effect, also newly enhanced for the Tyros4. Synth Vocoder lets you
graft the unique characteristics of your voice onto synthesizer and other sounds, for unusual machine‐like or
robotic effects, as well as luscious choir sounds, which you can control with your own singing and playing.
The Synth Vocoder is a complex effect that mimics the workings of the human voice. This effect extracts the nat-
ural filter characteristics of the voice from the microphone input and recreates the vocal formants by the use of
multiple band pass filters. The machine-like ‘robot’ voice is created by passing the pitched sounds of musical
instruments (such as a synthesizer sound) through the filters.
Both Vocal Harmony and Synth Vocoder have an extensive set of detailed parameters, giving you comprehen-
sive, flexible control of the sound.
VH2 Structure
The sub-mode of each Type can be edited. For information on editing, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.
Vocal Harmony
Mode
Lets you automatically apply harmony vocals in three different sub modes (Chordal, Vocoder and Vocoder-Mono) to
your voice as you sing into the connected microphone.
Icon Sub-mode Effect
(Microphone)
Chordal The harmony notes are determined by the following three types of chord
control:
1Chords played in the chord section of the keyboard (with the
[ACMP] turned on.)
2Chords played in the LEFT Voice section of the keyboard
(with the [ACMP] turned off and [LEFT] turned on.)
3Chords contained in Song data for controlling the harmony.
(Not available if the Song does not contain any chord data.)
(Microphone with FX)
The harmony notes are determined in the same way as in Microphone
above. However, effects such as Vocal Doubler and Short Delay are
applied. Harmony may or may not be applied depending on the selected
type. (If harmony is not applied, the [VOCAL HARMONY] button is
not lit.)
(Microphone and key-
board)
Vocoder The harmony notes are determined by the notes you play on the key-
board and/or Song data. You can specify whether the Vocoder effect is
controlled by your keyboard performance or by the Song data.
Vocoder-
Mono
The harmony notes are determined in the same way as in Vocoder
above. However for the Mono mode, the harmonies apply only to the
sound of the last-pressed key.
Synth Vocoder
Mode
(Microphone and carrier)
Lets you graft the unique characteristics of your voice onto synthesizer and other
sounds, for unusual machine‐like or robotic effects, as well as luscious choir sounds,
which you can control with your own singing and playing.

Vocal Harmony – Adding Harmony Vocals and Synth Vocoder to Your Singing –
The main use for Vocal Harmony is in live performance. Not only does the Tyros4 give you professional quality instru-
mental accompaniment as you play, it also lets you add professional quality vocal harmonies to your singing—as you
perform! The three different Vocal Harmony sub-modes (Chordal, Vocoder and Vocoder-Mono) produce harmony in dif-
ferent ways.
1Connect a microphone to the Tyros4, then adjust the [MIC
GAIN] while singing into the microphone.
For information on the connection, refer to “Connecting a Microphone” on pages
94–95.
2From the Main display, adjust the balance of the microphone
(MIC) sound with the other sounds of the instrument (i.e.,
Song, Style, Voices, Audio Recorder/Player, Multi Pads, etc.).
Use the [BALANCE] button to switch between the two Balance pages. (See
page 53.)
3Press the [VH TYPE SELECT] button to call up the Vocal Har-
mony Type Selection display.
4Use the TAB [][] buttons to select the VOCAL HARMONY
tab.
5Use the [A]–[J] buttons to select the desired Vocal Harmony
type.
To call up the other display pages for further selections, press one of the [1 ]–[5
] buttons or press the [VH TYPE SELECT] button again.
6If necessary, press the [VOCAL HARMONY] button to turn the
function on.
Using Vocal Harmony
You may find that the microphone
sound is distorted. If so, try adjusting
the sound, making sure that the INPUT
LEVEL meter does not light in orange or
red in the MIC SETTING display (called
up by pressing the [MIC SETTING] but-
ton). For details on the input level, refer
to the Reference Manual, Chapter 11.

7Follow the steps below, depending on which Type (and sub-
mode) you selected.
If you selected one of the Chordal Types:
The harmony of the Chordal Types can be controlled in three different ways (as
explained in the VH2 Structure chart on page 82). These instructions use the first
way.
7-1 Turn the [ACMP] button on.
7-2 Play and hold down chords in the chord section of the keyboard as you sing
along with the accompaniment.
Vocal harmonies based on your own voice are applied to your singing,
according to the chords you play.
If you selected one of the Vocoder or Vocoder-Mono Types:
7-1 Call up the SETUP window in the display by pressing the [8 ] button.
7-2 Use the [4 ]/[5 ] buttons to change the Keyboard setting (OFF,
UPPER, LOWER), if necessary.
Select UPPER if you want to have the Vocoder processing on your right-
hand-played part; select LOWER to have the Vocoder effect on your left-
hand part. For more information on the Keyboard setting to control the
Vocoder effect, refer to the Reference manual on the website.
7-3 Play melodies on the keyboard, and speak into the microphone as you play.
You’ll notice that you don’t actually have to sing pitched notes. The
Vocoder effect takes the words you say and applies them to the pitch of the
instrument sounds.
If you selected a Type having an “FX”
icon, your voice will be processed with
effects, but may not have harmonies
applied.
NOTE
7-2
7-1
For Vocoder Types, the effect is applied
to a maximum of three notes of the
chord you play; for Vocoder-Mono, the
effect is only applied to single notes
(last note played).

Compressor is an effect commonly used to limit and compress the dynamics (softness/loudness) of an audio signal. For
signals that vary widely in dynamics, such as vocals and guitar parts, it “squeezes” the dynamic range, effectively making
soft sounds louder and loud sounds softer. When used with gain to boost the overall level, this creates a more powerful,
more consistently high-level sound.

Installing the Optional Flash Memory Expansion Module
Installing an optional flash memory expansion module to the Tyros4 allows you to import Wave files on a USB storage
device or hard disk drive, letting you create your own original Voices, Normal Voices and Drum Voices. (For information
on creating original Voices, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.) This section explains how to install an expan-
sion module to the Tyros4.
• Do not touch the exposed metal parts in the circuit
board. Touching these parts may result in a faulty con-
tact.
• Be careful not to misplace any of the screws since all of
them are used.
• Be careful of static electricity. Static electricity dis-
charge can damage the module or the instrument.
Before you handle the module, to reduce the possibility
of static electricity, touch some unpainted metal surface
or a ground wire on a device that is grounded.
• Do not use any screws other than what are installed on
the instrument.
• It is recommended that you wear gloves to protect your
hands from metallic projections on the optional unit and
other components. Touching leads or the connector with
bare hands may cause finger cuts, and may also result in
poor electrical contact or electrostatic damage.
• Handle the optical unit with care. Dropping or subjecting
it to any kind of shock may cause damage or result in a
malfunction.
CAUTION
• Before beginning installation, switch off the power to the Tyros4 and con-
nected peripherals, and unplug them from the power outlet. Installation or
removal of any devices should be started ONLY after the instrument (and the
optional hardware) returns to normal room temperature. Then remove all
cables connecting the Tyros4 to other devices. (Leaving the power cord con-
nected while working can result in electric shock. Leaving other cables con-
nected can interfere with work.)
• Be careful not to drop any screws inside the instrument during installation
(this can be prevented by keeping the optional unit and cover away from the
instrument while attaching). If this does happen, be sure to remove the
screw(s) from inside the instrument before turning the power on. Loose screws
inside the instrument can cause improper operation or serious damage. If you
are unable to retrieve a dropped screw, consult your Yamaha dealer for
advice.
• Install the optional unit carefully as described in the procedure below.
Improper installation can cause shorts which may result in irreparable damage
and pose a fire hazard.
• Do not disassemble, modify, or apply excessive force to board areas or the
connector on an optional module unit. Bending or tampering with the board
and connector may lead to electric shock, fire, or equipment failures.

Troubleshooting
Overall
A click or pop is heard when the power is
turned on or off.
This is normal. Electrical current is being applied to the instrument.
Noise is heard from the instrument. Noise may be heard if a mobile phone is used near the instrument or if the phone is
ringing. Turn off the mobile phone, or use it further away from the instrument.
In the LCD display, there are some black
points (unlit) or white points (always lit).
These are the result of defective pixels and occasionally occur in TFT-LCDs; they do
not indicate a problem in operation.
There is a slight difference in sound quality
among different notes played on the keyboard.
This is normal and is a result of the instrument’s sampling system.
Some Voices have a looping sound.
Some noise or vibrato is noticeable at higher
pitches, depending upon the Voice.
The overall volume is too low, or, no sound is
heard.
The master volume may be set too low. Set it to an appropriate level with the [MASTER
VOLUME] control.
All keyboard parts are set to off. Use the PART ON/OFF [RIGHT 1]/[RIGHT 2]/[RIGHT
3]/[LEFT] button to turn it on (page 35).
The volume of individual parts may be set too low. Raise the volume in the BALANCE
display (page 53).
Make sure the desired channel is set to on in the CHANNEL display (pages 52, 62).
Headphones are connected, disabling the speaker output. Unplug the headphones.
If volume control is assigned to the [ASSIGN] slider or foot controller, set it to an appro-
priate level.
The [FADE IN/OUT] button is on, muting the sound. Press the [FADE IN/OUT] button to
turn the function off.
A plug is inserted in the LOOP SEND jacks. Unplug the LOOP SEND jacks.
Connect the footswitch to the appropriate jack.
Check whether the external speaker is connected and the volume control is adjusted
properly (pages 96, 106).
The sound is distorted or noisy. The volume may be turned up too high. Make sure all relevant volume settings are
appropriate.
This may be caused by certain effects or filter resonance settings. Check the effect or
filter settings and change them accordingly, referring to the Reference Manual on the
website.
Not all simultaneously played notes sound. You are probably exceeding the maximum polyphony of the instrument. The instrument
can play up to 128 notes at the same time including RIGHT 1/RIGHT 2/RIGHT 3/LEFT
Voices, Style, Song, and Multi Pad notes. When the maximum polyphony is exceeded,
the least important notes (such as soft notes and notes currently decaying) will stop
sounding first.
The keyboard volume is lower than the Style/
Song playback volume.
The volume of the keyboard parts may be set too low. Raise the volume in the BAL-
ANCE display (page 53).
The [ASSIGN] slider may be set to a low level. (By default, keyboard volume is
assigned to the [ASSIGN] slider.) Set it to an appropriate level.
The Main display does not appear even when
turning the power on.
This may occur if a USB storage device has been installed to the instrument. Installa-
tion of some USB storage devices may result a long interval between turning the power
on and appearance of the Main display. To avoid this, turn the power on after discon-
necting the device.
Some characters of the file/folder name are
garbled.
The language settings have been changed. Set the appropriate language for the file/
folder name (page 17).
An existing file is not shown. • The file extension (.MID, etc.) may have been changed or deleted. Manually rename
the file, adding the appropriate extension, on a computer.
• Data files with names of more than 50 characters cannot be handled by the instru-
ment. Rename the file, reducing the number of characters to 50 or less.
The Premium Pack data cannot be purchased. Before purchasing the Premium Pack data, obtain the license key (page 38).
Tyros4 Owner’s Manual 111
Troubleshooting
Voice
The Voice selected from the Voice Selection
display does not sound.
Check whether or not the selected part is turned on (page 35).
A strange “flanging” or “doubling” sound
occurs. The sound is slightly different each
time the keys are played.
The RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 parts are set to “ON,” and both parts are set to play the
same Voice. Turn off the RIGHT 2 part or change the Voice of one of the parts.
The sound is slightly different each time the
keys are played.
If you are routing the MIDI OUT on the Tyros4 to a sequencer and back to the MIDI IN,
you may need to set Local Control setting to “off” in the SYSTEM Page of the MIDI dis-
play (page 114).
Some Voices will jump an octave in pitch when
played in the upper or lower registers.
This is normal. Some voices have a pitch limit which, when reached, causes this type
of pitch shift.
Style
The Style does not start even when the
[START/STOP] button is pressed.
The Rhythm channel of the selected Style may not contain any data. Turn the [ACMP]
button on and play the left-hand section on the keyboard to sound the accompaniment
part of the Style.
Only the rhythm channel plays. • Make sure the Auto Accompaniment function is turned on; press the [ACMP] button.
• You may be playing keys in the right hand range of the keyboard. Make sure to play
keys in the chord range of the keyboard.
Styles in a USB storage device cannot be
selected.
If the size of the Style data is large (about 120 KB or greater), the Style cannot be
selected because the data is too large to be ready by the instrument.
Style playback seems to “skip” when the key-
board is played.
You are probably exceeding the maximum polyphony of the instrument. The instrument
can play up to 128 notes at the same time—including RIGHT 1/RIGHT 2/RIGHT 3/
LEFT Voices, Style, Song, and Multi Pad notes. When the maximum polyphony is
exceeded, the least important notes (such as soft notes and notes currently decaying)
will stop sounding first.
Style does not change even when a different
chord is played, or the chord is not recognized.
Play the performance on the left-hand section of the keyboard.
The vibrato effect applied when a Style is
recorded sounds different when it is played
back.
This may occur when you use a Style with certain SA2 Voices which have their own
default vibrato value. Depending on the Modulation wheel position, the default vibrato
value may be recorded or the modulation wheel value may be recorded, regardless of
the actual vibrato sound you have played. To remedy this:
Before starting to record the Style, operate the Modulation wheel once and change it to
the position of the amount of vibrato effect you want to record.
Song
Songs cannot be selected. If the size of the Song data is large (about 300 KB or greater), the Song cannot be
selected because the data is too large to be read by the instrument.
Song playback does not start. The Song has been stopped at the end of the Song data. Return to the beginning of the
Song by pressing the SONG [STOP] button.
In the case a Song to which write-protect has been applied (“Prot. 2 Edit” is shown at
the upper left of the Song name):
• The original file may not be in the same folder. It cannot be played back unless the
original file (showing “Prot.2 Orig” at the upper left of the Song name) is in the same
folder.
• The original file name may have been changed. Rename the file with the original file
name (so that “Prot.2 Orig” is shown at the upper left of the Song name).
• The file icon may have been changed. Songs to which write-protect has been applied
cannot be played back when the file icon of the original has been changed.
The measure number is different from that of
the score in the Song Position display, shown
by pressing the [REW]/[FF] buttons.
This happens when playing back music data for which a specific, fixed tempo is set.
When playing back a Song, some channels do
not play.
Playback of these channels may be set to off.
• Turn playback on for those channels that are set to off on CHANNEL ON/OFF
(SONG) (page 62).
• Change the SONG CHANNEL setting to “PLAY” (page 85).
The tempo, beat, measure and music notation
is not displayed correctly.
Some Song data for the instrument has been recorded with special “free tempo” set-
tings. For such Song data, the tempo, beat, measure and music notation will not be dis-
played correctly.
112 Tyros4 Owner’s Manual
The vibrato effect applied when a Song is
recorded sounds different when it is played
back.
This may occur when you use SA2 Voices which have their own default vibrato value.
Depending on the Modulation wheel position, the default vibrato value may be recorded
or the modulation wheel value may be recorded, regardless of the actual vibrato sound
you have played. To remedy this:
• Select a Voice AFTER you set the Modulation wheel to minimum (down) position.
• If you want to cancel the vibrato effect, set the Modulation wheel to minimum position
AFTER Song recording starts.
Audio Recorder/Player
Audio files cannot be selected. The file format may not be compatible with the instrument. The compatible formats are:
MP3 and WAV. The DRM protected files cannot be played back.
Recorded file is played back at a different vol-
ume compared to when it was recorded.
The audio playback volume has been changed. Setting the volume value to 90 plays
back the file as the same volume when it was recorded (page 80).
An audio song in the internal HDD cannot be
copied or cut.
The audio song file name (which contains the file path, internally) in the internal HDD
may be too long. Shorten the song name or copy/paste the file to a higher folder level.
In the Audio Recorder/Player function, an error
message appears and audio cannot be
recorded to the internal hard disk drive.
The data on the hard disk drive is fragmented and cannot be used as is. Since there is
no defragmentation function in the Audio Recorder/Player, the drive can only be defrag-
mented by formatting it. To do this, first back up the data to a computer by using the
USB storage mode (page 103), then format the drive, and finally copy the data back to
the drive (using the USB storage mode again). Performing this copy/restore operation
effectively defragments the drive, allowing you to use it again.
Mixing Console
The sound seems strange or different than
expected when changing a rhythm Voice
(drum kit, etc.) of the Style or Song from the
Mixer.
When changing the rhythm/percussion Voices (drum kits, etc.) of the Style and Song
from the VOICE parameter, the detailed settings related to the drum voice are reset,
and in some cases you may be unable to restore the original sound. In the case of
Song playback, you can restore the original sound by returning to the beginning of the
Song and playing back from that point. In the case of Style play, you can restore the
original sound by selecting the same Style again.
Microphone/Vocal Harmony
The microphone input signal cannot be
recorded.
The microphone input signal cannot be recorded by Song recording. Use the Audio
Recorder/Player function (page 76).
Harmony can be heard in addition to the
microphone sound.
Vocal Harmony is set to on. Turn Vocal Harmony off (page 83).
The Vocal Harmony effect sounds distorted or
out-of-tune.
Your vocal microphone may be picking up extraneous sounds, such as the Style sound
from the instrument. In particular, bass sounds can cause mistracking of the Vocal Har-
mony. To remedy this:
• Sing as closely to the microphone as possible.
• Use a directional microphone.
• Turn down the Master volume, Style volume, or Song volume control (pages 16, 53).
• Separate the microphone from the external speakers as much as possible.
ASSIGNABLE FOOT PEDAL jacks
The on/off setting of the footswitch connected
to the ASSIGNABLE FOOT PEDAL jack is
reversed.
Turn the instrument’s power off, then turn on again without pressing the footswitch.
AUX IN jacks
Sound input to the AUX IN jacks is interrupted. The output volume of the external device connected to this instrument is too low.
Increase the output volume of the external device. The volume level reproduced via this
instrument can be adjusted by using the [MASTER VOLUME] control.
USB TO HOST terminal/MIDI terminals
When connecting the instrument to a com-
puter, the computer freezes.
An old USB-MIDI driver which is incompatible with the instrument has been installed to
the computer. Disconnect the instrument from the computer and uninstall the old driver,
then install the latest USB-MIDI driver. The latest driver can be downloaded from
Yamaha website (http://music-tyros.com/).

1-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
ON ARRANGER WORKSTATION KEYBOARDS
Thank you for selecting a YAMAHA product. YAMAHA products are designed and manufactured to provide a high level of
defect-free performance. Yamaha Corporation of America (“YAMAHA”) is proud of the experience and craftsmanship that goes
into each and every YAMAHA product. YAMAHA sells its products through a network of reputable, specially authorized deal-
ers and is pleased to offer you, the Original Owner, the following Limited Warranty, which applies only to products that have
been (1) directly purchased from YAMAHA’s authorized dealers in the fifty states of the USA and District of Columbia (the “War-
ranted Area”) and (2) used exclusively in the Warranted Area. YAMAHA suggests that you read the Limited Warranty thor-
oughly, and invites you to contact your authorized YAMAHA dealer or YAMAHA Customer Service if you have any questions.
Coverage: YAMAHA will, at its option, repair or replace the product covered by this warranty if it becomes defective, mal-
functions or otherwise fails to conform with this warranty under normal use and service during the term of this warranty, without
charge for labor or materials. Repairs may be performed using new or refurbished parts that meet or exceed YAMAHA specifi-
cations for new parts. If YAMAHA elects to replace the product, the replacement may be a reconditioned unit. You will be
responsible for any installation or removal charges and for any initial shipping charges if the product(s) must be shipped for
warranty service. However, YAMAHA will pay the return shipping charges to any destination within the USA if the repairs are
covered by the warranty. This warranty does not cover (a) damage, deterioration or malfunction resulting from accident, negli-
gence, misuse, abuse, improper installation or operation or failure to follow instructions according to the Owner’s Manual for
this product; any shipment of the product (claims must be presented to the carrier); repair or attempted repair by anyone other
than YAMAHA or an authorized YAMAHA Service Center; (b) any unit which has been altered or on which the serial number
has been defaced, modified or removed; (c) normal wear and any periodic maintenance; (d) deterioration due to perspiration,
corrosive atmosphere or other external causes such as extremes in temperature or humidity; (e) damages attributable to power
line surge or related electrical abnormalities, lightning damage or acts of God; or (f) RFI/EMI (Interference/noise) caused by
improper grounding or the improper use of either certified or uncertified equipment, if applicable. Any evidence of alteration,
erasing or forgery of proof-of-purchase documents will cause this warranty to be void. This warranty covers only the Original
Owner and is not transferable.
In Order to Obtain Warranty Service: Warranty service will only be provided for defective products within the War-
ranted Area. Contact your local authorized YAMAHA dealer who will advise you of the procedures to be followed. If this is not
successful, contact YAMAHA at the address, telephone number or website shown below. YAMAHA may request that you send
the defective product to a local authorized YAMAHA Servicer or authorize return of the defective product to YAMAHA for repair.
If you are uncertain as to whether a dealer has been authorized by YAMAHA, please contact YAMAHA’s Service Department
at the number shown below, or check Yamaha’s website at www.Yamaha.com. Product(s) shipped for service should be
packed securely and must be accompanied by a detailed explanation of the problem(s) requiring service, together with the
original or a machine reproduction of the bill of sale or other dated, proof-of-purchase document describing the product, as evi-
dence of warranty coverage. Should any product submitted for warranty service be found ineligible therefore, an estimate of
repair cost will be furnished and the repair will be accomplished only if requested by you and upon receipt of payment or
acceptable arrangement for payment.
Limitation of Implied Warranties and Exclusion of Damages: ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WAR-
RANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE SHALL BE LIMITED IN DURATION TO
THE APPLICABLE PERIOD OF TIME SET FORTH ABOVE. YAMAHA SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR FOR DAMAGES BASED UPON INCONVENIENCE, LOSS OF USE, DAMAGE TO
ANY OTHER EQUIPMENT OR OTHER ITEMS AT THE SITE OF USE OR INTERRUPTION OF PERFORMANCES OR ANY
CONSEQUENCES. YAMAHA’S LIABILITY FOR ANY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT IS LIMITED TO REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT
OF THE PRODUCT, AT YAMAHA’S OPTION. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED
WARRANTY LASTS OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE
ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may
also have other rights which vary from state to state. This is the only express warranty applicable to the product specified
herein; Yamaha neither assumes nor authorizes anyone to assume for it any other express warranty.
If you have any questions about service received or if you need assistance in locating an authorized YAMAHA Servicer, please
