TYROS Owner’s Manual
Collecting your favorite voices to the User drive or floppy disk
The TYROS has a huge amount of high-quality voices, covering an exceptionally broad range of 
instrument sounds — making it perfect for virtually every musical application. However, the 
sheer number of voices may seem overwhelming at first. That’s why we’ve decided to show you 
this somewhat advanced technique for gathering together the voices you like to use the most, and 
putting them in one easy-to-use location.
To start with, you should know a little about the Memory Drives and the Open/Save display 
(explained briefly below). Should you want to know more, details are given on page 63. For the 
moment, though, keep in mind that the User drive and Floppy Disk drive are memory locations 
that you can use to store and recall your important data.
●  Memory Drive Types
● Open/Save display
........... From this type of display you can select (open) various files — such 
as voices, (pages 26 - 29), styles (page 32), songs (page 43), and Reg-
istration Memory banks (page 52) — as well as save the various files 
to the User drive or Disk drive.
1 Press the [USER] button to call up the Voice selection (Open/Save) 
display for the User drive.
In this case, any keyboard part (RIGHT 1 - 3) can be selected.
2 From this display (path), make a new folder to which your favorite 
voices are to be saved.
PRESET drive
Internal memory drive to which the preprogrammed voices are installed 
as preset voices.
USER drive Internal memory that allows both reading and writing of data. 
FD drive
For transferring data to and from floppy disk, with the TYROS’ floppy 
disk drive.
• In addition to the three memory 
drive types described here, you 
can also use an optional hard disk 
drive (HD) — provided one is 
installed to the TYROS.
