TAB [LEFT][RIGHT] buttons
These buttons are used mainly to change the Pages of displays that have "tabs" at the top.

[ASSIGN] slider
When the Footage Page of the Organ Flute Voice is shown, this slider is used to adjust the footage lever of 16' (page 46).
When other displays are shown, this slider is used to adjust the keyboard volume (page 55) directly during your performance, by default.

NOTE
You can freely change the function assigned to the [ASSIGN] slider: [FUNCTION] -> [D] CONTROLLER -> TAB [LEFT][RIGHT] ASSIGN SLIDER.

[1] to [8] sliders
In the footage Page of the Organ Flute Voice, these sliders are used to adjust the footages.
In other displays, these sliders are used to adjust settings (up or down correspondingly) for functions shown directly above them, only when the menu is shown in a knob or slider shape.

(Figure)
Footage levers of 5 1/3'-1' can be adjusted by the [1] to [8] sliders.
Knob or slider in the display can be adjusted by the corresponding [1] to [8] slider.

[1 UP DOWN] to [8 UP DOWN] buttons
The [1 UP DOWN] to [8 UP DOWN] buttons are used to make selections or adjust settings (up or down correspondingly) for functions shown directly above them.

(Figure)
If a menu appears in this section of the display, use the [1 UP] to [8 UP] buttons.
If a menu appears in this section of the display, use the [1 DOWN] to [8 DOWN] buttons.
If list of the menu appears, use the [1 UP DOWN] to [8 UP DOWN] button to select the desired item.
If a parameter appears in slider (or knob) form, use the [1 UP DOWN] to [8 UP DOWN] button to adjust the value.

[DATA ENTRY] dial and [ENTER] button
Depending on the selected LCD display, the [DATA ENTRY] dial can be used in the following two ways.

Selecting files (Voice, Style, Song, and so on)
When one of the File Selection displays (page 25) is shown, you can use the [DATA ENTRY] dial and the [ENTER] button to select a file (Voice, Style, Song, and so on). 

(Figure)
Rotate the [DATA ENTRY] dial to move the cursor...
Press the [ENTER] button to actually select the highlighted file.

Adjusting the parameter values
In addition to using sliders, you can conveniently use the [DATA ENTRY] dial in tandem with the [1 UP DOWN] to [8 UP DOWN] buttons to adjust parameters indicated in the display. 

(Figure)
Select the desired parameter with the appropriate [1 UP DOWN] to [8 UP DOWN] button.
Rotate the [DATA ENTRY] dial to adjust the selected parameter.

This convenient technique also works well with pop-up parameters such as Tempo and Transpose. Simply press the appropriate button (ex., TEMPO [plus]), then rotate the [DATA ENTRY] dial and press [ENTER] to close the window.

[EXIT] button
No matter where you are in the Tyros3 display hierarchy, the [EXIT] button will return you to the next highest level or to the previously indicated display.
Press the [EXIT] button several times returns the Tyros3 to the default Main display (page 24)-the same display that appears when the power is turned on.

The Messages Shown in the Display
A message (information or confirmation dialog) sometimes appears on the screen to facilitate operation. When the message appears, simply press the appropriate button.

A message appears in the display prompting you to press the appropriate button.

2	Press the button (or move the slider, wheel or connected pedal) corresponding to the desired setting display to instantly call up that display.
For example, pressing the [ACMP] button calls up the display in which the Chord Fingering type for accompaniment playback can be set. 

Refer to the Data List for a list of the displays that can be called up with the Direct Access function. The Data List is available at the Yamaha website. (See page 8.)

Basic Displays (Main Display and File Selection Display)

USER	Location where recorded or edited data is saved.
HD	Location where data on a hard disk drive installed to the Tyros3 is saved.

NOTE
Hereafter in this manual, any USB storage device such as USB flash memory, floppy disk drive, etc. will be referred to as "USB storage device."

Data files and folders
The data, both pre-programmed and your own original, are saved as "files."
You can drop files into a folder (except in Preset).

File Selection Display Basic Operation

1	Select the tab (PRESET, USER, etc.) containing the desired file by using the TAB [LEFT][RIGHT] buttons.

2	Select the page containing the desired file by using the corresponding buttons ([1 UP], [2 UP], etc.).
The number of pages shown varies depending on the Selection display of the Voices/Songs/Styles/Multi Pads. Press the corresponding button to "P1, P2 ..." in the display. When other pages follow, the "Next" button appears, and for the previous page, the "Prev." button appears.

(Figure)
This display shows the Voice files in a folder.
The next highest level-in this case, folder-is shown. Each folder shown in this display contains appropriately categorized Voices.

Changing the File Selection Display View
The File Selection display actually has two different view types. One is Normal View, which we've seen up until this point. The other is List View, which lets you open files according to their numbers. Since the Tyros3 has many files spread out over several pages, number input in List View may be quicker and more convenient-providing you know the number of the file.
Switch between the two types by pressing the [7 UP] (VIEW) button.

(Figure)
File Selection display-Normal View (page 27)
File Selection display-List View (see below)

[H]/[I]	PAGE UP/DOWN	Scrolls up/down through the file list on this page (path).
[J]	(END) 	Moves the cursor to the end of this page (path).

[6 UP DOWN]	(UP/DOWN)	Selects the next or previous file.
[7 DOWN]	CLEAR	Press this to cancel the number you've input.
(Table End)

Memorizing Song/Style paths
The File Selection display for Songs and Styles lets you memorize the path of specific Song/Style to one of the panel buttons. Even if your data is scattered across the drive in a complex hierarchy of folders and paths, you can instantly call up a specific file-no matter how deeply hidden-with a single button-press.

1	In the List View display, select the Song/Style to be memorized, then press the [E] (MEMORY) button. A message appears prompting you to select one of the SONG/STYLE buttons to which the path is to be memorized.

2	Press one of the SONG [1] to [4] buttons (for Songs) or one of the STYLE category selection buttons other than [FILE ACCESS] button (for Styles). The path is memorized to the selected button.

3	Exit from the Song/Style Selection display by pressing the [EXIT] button, then call up the memorized path. 

To call up the memorized path for a Song, simply press the appropriate SONG button selected in step 2.
