Tyros 2 - The ultimate arranger workstation!

Tyros 2 is Yamaha’s top arranger workstation and it is a perfect instrument for someone who wants to use it for playing live or use it for composing & recording.

Let us see the features of Tyros 2 which makes it a never ending source of inspiration.

Super Articulation – Every instrument has its own finer points and nuances which can be played only if someone acquires considerable skills and becomes technically proficient at it. But with this technology, you can play the Tyros2 normally and Super Articulation adds those additional characteristics which makes the sound very authentic, convincing and real.

MegaVoices – Use this feature for MIDI recording purposes! Here, various performance techniques are mapped to the different velocity ranges which can then be triggered by applying the correct force on the keys. The sounds offered are realistic and unmatched.



FSX Keyboard – Tyros 2 has both initial touch and after touch response keys. This allows you to control the level of the voices with your playing strength, just as on an acoustic instrument. You will also find the FSX keyboard action very smooth, fast and responsive.

Hard disk recording – Another feature in this keyboard which you are going to appreciate is the hard disk recorder. You can record the internal sounds of Tyros or you can record your own voice or record any other acoustic instrument. The recording gets stored as a stereo file which can be sent to external audio editing software for editing and can be imported back into Tyros.

Custom Voice Creation – Although Tyros 2 gives you an immense range of sounds to work with, you can still create your own voices if you wish to. You will find two powerful features for the same - Voice Creator and Voice Set.
Voice Creator – You can make completely new voices by importing your own audio and assigning it to the keys as desired.
Voice Set – You can edit a voice by using the tools provided here. You can change parameters like filter, envelope, EQ, modulation etc.

Large Color Display and Video Output - You will really get impressed by the display provided in this keyboard. It is a high resolution display, can be tilted for better viewing and is large enough to show all the important parameters at one glance. You can even connect it to an external TV or monitor if you wish to share the lyrics and notations with others.

Get Online with IDC – You can get online by connecting your Tyros 2 directly to the internet using the Internet Direct Connection (IDC). You do not need a computer! Once on the internet, you can download midi songs, styles and music for playback on the Tyros2.

Digital Music Notebook (DMN) – It is a library of popular songs which can be downloaded and played back with the Tyros2 sounds and styles. You can even view the songs as notations on the LCD screen.

Voices, Styles, Multi pads - It has over 500 realistic Voices, 400 built-in Styles and multi pads to give you interesting phrases and loops.

Style creator - Use this feature to create styles from scratch or change the contents of existing styles or merge different styles to create a totally different style. Use all your creativity to come up with exciting styles.

Vocal Harmony – This is another cool feature which adds backing vocals to the singer’s voice. You just need to connect a microphone and Tyros2 will add the vocal harmony parts according to the chords that you play. This is a great feature which gives a very professional touch to your vocals and takes them to a different level altogether.
