Changing Pitch on the TYROS

The TYROS has a variety of pitch-related controls and functions, as described below.

■ PITCH BEND Wheel

Use the TYROS 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 (RIGHT1 - 3 and LEFT). The PITCH BEND wheel is self-centering and will automatically 
return to normal pitch when released. 

■ MODULATION Wheel

The Modulation function applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. This is applied to 
all the keyboard parts (RIGHT1 - 3 and LEFT). 
Moving the MODULATION wheel down (towards MIN) decreases the depth of the effect, while 
moving it up (towards MAX) increases it. 

■ Transpose

With this function, you can transpose the pitch of the TYROS up or down over a range of ±2 octaves 
in semitone steps. Three transposing methods (Keyboard, Song, and Master) are available; select the 
desired method in the [FUNCTION] 

→ CONTROLLER → KEYBOARD/PANEL display (page 

154), then use the [TRANSPOSE] buttons to change the value.

● Keyboard Transpose

The [TRANSPOSE] buttons affect the pitch of the keyboard sound, the style playback pitch, and 
the pitch of the Multi Pads for which Chord Match has been set to on. Note that the transposition 
is applied from the next note (or style chord) played, after one of the [TRANSPOSE] buttons has 
been pressed. 

● Song Transpose

The [TRANSPOSE] buttons affect only song playback.
Note that the transposition is applied from the next note of song playback after one of the 
[TRANSPOSE] buttons has been pressed.

● Master Transpose

The [TRANSPOSE] buttons affect the overall pitch of the TYROS. 

Normal pitch (transpose value of “0”) can be recalled at any time by pressing both the [+] and [–] 
buttons simultaneously.
The transposition can be adjusted from the Mixing Console display (page 135).
