Next Generation Content

Tyros is well known for industry leading content quality but now Tyros4 raises the bar even higher with its amazing array of sparkling new voices and styles. The Tyros4’s content is more polished than ever before.
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
Dynamic and Versatile Vocal Harmony feature—with Synth Vocoder
The newly enhanced Vocal Harmony 2 (VH2) 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, providing 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 an online service website (http://service.music.yamaha.com) featuring Premium Voices, Waves, Songs and Styles, etc. (called Premium Pack data) that can be purchased and loaded to the Tyros4. (In order to use the additional Waves and Voices you purchased, you’ll need to install the optional Flash Memory Expansion Module.)
Audio recording and playback
Tyros4 lets you record your performances as audio data, with two different methods, Simple (quick and easy recording 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 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 beforehand). 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, allowing you to download special content without the need for a computer. Enhancements include a convenient, easy-to-use IDC Setup Wizard, as well as new security options, with WPA2 and WPA.
Audio Recording
No need for separate recording hardware—you can record your keyboard performance as well as your own singing or the sound of other instruments directly to the Tyros4! The audio is captured to the built-in hard disk drive as digital audio data—with absolutely noise-free audio quality. With computer and audio editing software, you can also edit the sound file as needed, and then re-import it to the Tyros4. Since the created audio data is saved in WAV file format, you can easily share your performances over the Internet or burn your own original CD. The instrument also supports MP3 data, allowing you to play back files in that popular format.
Technology
Audio & Video
Voices
You’ll hear something different as soon as you play Tyros4’s classical choir Voices: the sound is incredibly natural thanks to Ambient Sampling. For sampling, microphones are normally positioned close to the instrument to capture a direct sound which includes very little of the rooms ambience. For Tyros4’s new classical choirs, the microphone positions were carefully adjusted to capture not only the sound of the choir but also the ambience of the room, resulting in unprecedented clarity and realism of sound.
Together with technologies such as Super Articulation, Tyros4’s pop vocals use Yamaha’s latest voicing technology, Wave Cycling, to bring hugely versatile vocal creativity to your performances. Tyros4 is packed with different vocal articulations such as Aah, Bah, Bee, Doh etc., and Wave Cycling varies the articulation of the Voice as you play. This means that you can now play incredibly realistic “shoo-bee-doo-bah” and scat vocals with remarkable ease!
Styles
The Tyros4 features a variety of accompaniment and rhythmic backing patterns (called “Styles”) in a variety of different musical genres including pop, jazz, and many others. The Style features Auto Accompaniment, letting you produce automatic accompaniment playback simply by playing “chords” with your left hand. This lets you automatically recreate the sound of a full band or orchestra?even if you’re playing by yourself!

Comments about Yamaha tyros4:
This is a wonderful keyboard. The sound quality and variety exceeded my expectations. One of my favorite features is the "Registrations" where you can save all the settings on the keyboard for whatever song you are working on, and then recall it later with the push of a button. And you can do this for dozens and dozens of different setups.
The Premium Packs are very good, this is my favorite feature of the Tyros 4, and this is the main reason I purchased this keyboard instead of another.
Unfortunately, there is a limit to the number of Premium packs you can install, even if you have the 1 gigabyte flash memory unit. There is a hard limit of 9,999 wave counts, and you cannot exceed that. For example, I still have 386 megabytes free on my flash memory board, but I cannot install any more Premium packs because if I install even one more of the smaller Premium packs, then my wave counts would exceed 9,999.
So, you need to be very aware of this. Do not expect to be able to load all of the Premium packs on your Tyros 4 - it is not possible. This is a very unfortunate design decision on the part of Yamaha, and it is a rather significant and large flaw on this otherwise extraordinary keyboard.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Yamaha tyros4:
I play this keyboard mostly at home, but as soon as i have the opportunity to perform, i grab that chance. Response from the listeners is always positive. Mostly due to the realistic sounds, and the superb styles! Nobody expects so much variation from a accompaniment/style, but the Tyros delivers superb performance on that part. I love to use the styles, and the memory buttons for quick song/sound/style/microphone setup. Also playing or singing along to a midi file is great! The improved Vocal Harmony and Vocoder effects performs superbly after some minor tweaks. The feel of playing on the keys is smooth, and gives confidence in playing. After all those years, the Tyros gives me the most relaxing feel of playing it. Buying midi songs using the built in Yamaha Internet Direct Download is awesome, as you get to hear a preview, so you can hear how it would sound if you use this. Also you can see if there's karaoke text with it or not. The only thing i don't like, is that the manual that comes with the keyboard does not even cover the built in sequencer! My previous keyboard was so easy to use (the sequencer), that i did not even needed a manual for that, but this is so advanced, that after more than a year, i still don't know how this works. Looks like i'm off buying PC sequencing software for making my own midi's!
Bottom line: So much functions, such realistic sounds, and the awesome breathtaking styles makes for a workstation that leaves little to be desired. This IS for me, the pinnacle of making music at home, or at a party.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Yamaha tyros4:
I am an experienced professional who after a long hiatus have rediscovered my talents at the keyboard. This isntrument is beyond amazing and I look forward to many hours of enjoyment by recording my performances and being my own critic! I love the many beginnings and endings, the fade in and fade out and the ease of voice selection. I would suggest better instructions for installing Premium Packs and more memory capacity for recordoing a midi file to edit.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
