What to do if some notes don't sound on my Yamaha Tyros4?
If your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard isn't playing all the notes you're pressing simultaneously, it's likely exceeding the instrument's maximum polyphony. The keyboard can play up to 128 notes at once, including RIGHT 1/RIGHT 2/RIGHT 3/LEFT Voices, Style, Song, and Multi Pad notes. When you exceed this limit, the least important notes will stop sounding first.
Why does selected voice not sound on my Yamaha Tyros4?
If a Voice selected from the Voice Selection display does not sound on your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard, check whether or not the selected part is turned on.
Why is my Yamaha Tyros4 Electronic Keyboard sound distorted?
If the sound from your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard is distorted or noisy, the volume might be set too high, so ensure that all volume settings are at appropriate levels. Also, certain effects or filter resonance settings can cause this issue. Check the effect or filter settings and change them accordingly.
How to adjust Yamaha Tyros4 Electronic Keyboard volume relative to Style/Song playback?
If the keyboard volume on your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard is lower than the Style/Song playback volume, the volume of the keyboard parts may be set too low. Raise the volume in the BALANCE display. Also, the [ASSIGN] slider may be set to a low level. Set it to an appropriate level, as keyboard volume is assigned to the [ASSIGN] slider by default.
What to do if Style does not start on Yamaha Tyros4?
If the Style on your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard doesn't start when you press the [START/STOP] button, the Rhythm channel of the selected Style may not contain any data. Turn the [ACMP] button on and play the left-hand section on the keyboard to sound the accompaniment part of the Style.
Why does only rhythm channel play on Yamaha Electronic Keyboard?
If you only hear the rhythm channel on your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard, make sure the Auto Accompaniment function is turned on by pressing the [ACMP] button. Also, ensure you are playing keys in the chord range of the keyboard, not the right hand range.
Why won't the display appear on my Yamaha Tyros4 Electronic Keyboard?
If the Main display of your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard doesn't appear when you turn it on, it might be due to a USB storage device being connected. Some USB devices can cause a delay in the display appearing. Try turning the power on after disconnecting the device to avoid this.
Why does my Yamaha Tyros4 Electronic Keyboard have a strange flanging sound?
If you hear a strange “flanging” or “doubling” sound from your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard, and the sound is slightly different each time the keys are played, the RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 parts may be set to “ON,” with both parts set to play the same Voice. Turn off the RIGHT 2 part or change the Voice of one of the parts.
