lets you adjust the parameter value of various functions. The highlight cursor is another convenient, colorful feature 
of the LCD display, since it clearly indicates (by a red border and highlighted background) the file to be selected or 
the parameter to be adjusted.

About the Keyboard
The TYROS keyboard features various functions and performance conveniences that are simply unavailable on an acoustic

play one voice with your left hand while you play a different voice (or even three layered voices!) with your right.

Voices and Keyboard Parts
As you know by now, the TYROS has a wide variety of musical instrument sounds, referred to as “voices.”  And, as shown on 
page 74, the TYROS allows you to independently select and play up to four voice parts at the same time in a number of ways.  
Any voice can be assigned to any part.  Since there are four different parts, be careful to confirm which parts are selected, and 
make sure not to confuse one part for another as you select...

Voice Types
The buttons of the VOICE section (excepting USER) are used to call up the relevant voice selection (Open/Save) display for the 
Preset drive.  Pressing one of the buttons calls up the voice selection display corresponding to the selected category, and the last 
selected voice in the category is automatically called up.  Five of these voice categories (below) are slightly different from the 
others and deserve special explanation.
