Creating Custom Voices (Voice Creator)

The powerful Voice Creator feature lets you create your own original Voices, Normal Voices ( page 20

) and Drum Voices

(

page 24 ) by using your favorite Wave files (audio samples in WAV or AIFF format).

In Drum Voice creating, you can also use the instruments (drum/percussion) sound assigned to each key of the Preset

Drum Voices.

First, import Wave files from a USB storage device or hard disk drive to the optional flash memory expansion module.

Second, assign the Wave to the Element (Normal Voice) or Key (Drum Voice).

Finally, store the Voice as a Custom Voice.

If you want to create Drum Voices by using the instruments of Preset Drum Voices, you can skip the next section

“Importing the Wave Data to the Optional Expansion Module” and proceed to “Creating Drum Voices (Custom Drum

Voice)” on page 24 .

1

Importing the Wave Data to the Optional Expansion Module

1

Install the expansion module to the Tyros4.

For information on installation, refer to the Appendix section in the Owner’s Manual.

2

Prepare the Wave data you’ll be using for the new Voice.

Only WAV or AIFF format data can be used for the Voice Creator.

We recommend that you store the files to a single folder of a USB storage device or hard disk drive.

Notes for Available Wave Files

• This instrument cannot recognize the extension .aiff. When you use an AIFF file, change the extension to .aif.

• Only use uncompressed files.

• Wave data used for the Voice Creator can be of any sample rate or bit resolution. However, all Wave data of a resolution other than 16-bit is automatically converted to 16-bit resolution after being loaded.

• Only use Wave data having a frequency of 44100 Hz. Otherwise, the data may not play back at the correct pitch.

• Voice Creator supports and recognizes loops in the Wave data, letting you use up to one loop in each Wave file. (Some sample libraries have loops already programmed into the data; you can also use Wave (audio) editing software to program loops yourself. Keep in mind however, that multiple loops are not supported.)

• Audio files recorded with Multi Track recording of the Audio Recorder/

Player function (.aud) cannot be used as is with the Voice Creator. If you want to use an .aud file, mix down the file in .wav data format. For information on the mixdown operation, refer to Chapter 7 in the Owner’s Manual.

Creating Normal Voices (Custom Voice)

By assigning Wave files, you can create your original Voices—not only create from scratch, but also add Waves to the existing Voices. A Voice consists of eight elements and you need to assign Wave files to each element (more than two

Waves can be assigned to one element).

The resulting Voice is called a Custom Voice and can be selected and played in the same way as all other Tyros4 Voices.

FIXED PITCH

CENTER KEY

When this is set to ON, all keys will play the Wave sound at the same pitch. When set to OFF, the pitch of the Wave sound changes according to the key played, based around the original pitch (set at Center Key below).

This determines the key to which the original pitch of the sound is assigned. When

Fixed Pitch (above) is set to OFF, keys below the Center Key play the sound progressively lower in pitch, while keys above play the sound progressively higher. Normally, you’ll want to make sure that this is the same as the original sound; for example, if the original pitch of the audio was at C3, set Center Key to C3 for best results. When

Fixed Pitch (above) is set to ON, this has no effect. You can specify this setting directly from the keyboard by simultaneously holding down the [2 ] (DIRECT

KEY) button and pressing the desired key on the keyboard.

START KEY This determines the lowest key at which the Wave will sound. Use this with End Key

(see step 9 on page 23

) to set the key range for the Wave. You can specify this setting directly from the keyboard by simultaneously holding down the [4 ] (DIRECT

KEY) button and pressing the desired key on the keyboard.

WAVE VOLUME This determines the playback volume for the specific Wave. Normally, this should be set to the maximum (127); however, you can use it to adjust the level balance among multiple sounds in the Element.

Press the [H] (EXECUTE) button to actually assign the Wave.

Completion of the Assign operation will return to the Key Mapping display.

If you want to assign another Wave to this Element, repeat steps 5–7.

NOTE

If you want to store the Voice at this point, press the [J] (STORE) button. The

Custom Voice display will appear. Refer

to step 12 on page 23 about the Custom

Voice display. Each time you make some change (e.g., add a Wave to the

Creating Drum Voices (Custom Drum Voice)

By assigning the instruments (drum/percussion) of Preset Drum Voices and Wave files to each key, you can create your original Drum Voices—not only by creating the Voice from scratch, but also by adding/replacing the instruments within existing Drum Voices with other instruments of Preset Drum Voice and your own Wave files, and by editing selected parameters of each key. The resulting Voice is called a Custom Drum Voice and can be selected and played in the same way as all other Tyros4 Voices.
