Maurice did you resolve problem. I have just bought notation and while I can take a recorded midi file from my tyros 4 and add lyrics easlily when I export and then open changed file on tyros 4 it seems to change the right hand back to a piano and also loses some of the accomp. ie the file is changed when all I wanted was to add the lyrics.

What is probably happening is that the Tyros has special bank and patch assignments because of the extended number of instrument sounds. If you do not have a Tyros device description set up as your default MIDI playback device, then Composer (or Musician) changes the bank and instrument assignments to match the default playback device description, which is the General MIDI (GM) standard. Then, when you export the edited .mid of the file, those edited GM bank/instruments are what get exported, which is why the file now sounds changed.

Please see my post (click here) about where to find Yamaha INS files. After you get the .ins file, you can use Setup/Quick MIDI Devices/Import Sound names to import that device description into Notation Composer. Then select it (the Tyros) as the default, and all should be well. Please note that you will need the Tyros keyboard connected to your computer in order to hear the sound when you play the file in Composer.

Hi Sherry all I need now is to find this ins file for tyros 4. http://www.crestonhall.com/music/insdef1.html does not exist any more or so they say. Yamaha site as you say does not have Tyros files. I am sure this file will be wanted by people with tyros keyboards as your new updated Notation is very easy to use for including lyrics in the score display. Regards and Merry Christmas

Actually the guy just renamed the page but forgot to put up a redirect

His new page link is http://www.crestonhall.com/music/insdef1.php (notice the change in page type from html to php - that's the only difference).

I also see that he is directing Tyros users to a different page for those INS files. That one is at "Heiko's page" (click here to go there ).

Thanks for the heads up on that change

Hi Sherry Hope you are having a great Christmas. Fianlly I have some peace and are having another attempt to to get notation composer to export a file with added lyrics (lyrics are very easy to add which is great) without changing the Tyros voice settings. I downloaded the tyros 4 ins file (tyros_kbds_1.06.ins) from the Heiko site and set it as the default midi but the problem still occurs. I am missing a step somewhere and am sure others must have had the same problem. When I go into the mixing console of the tyros and look at the song channels 1 to 16 they are totally different from the original recording and much poorer sounds. Tried a number of different midi files all with the same result. Regards Nigel
