Lou, Wishing you a big WELCOME to our little corner of the world: arranger keyboard heaven.

In regards to page 112 of the Tyros Manual, this covers something different than what I was referring to. Page 112 covers the settings for the type of accomp section sound heard when the auto accompaniment is stopped ("Stop Accompaniment).

What I wanted to do is Freeze the 'left voice' when the auto accompaniment is on: 'running'. The GOOD news is that I recently found out the TYROS in fact DOES allow you to accomplish this. Claude (France), actually tested it out on his new Tyros and confirms it WORKS !

Here are the procedures:

1) Select (checkmark) only the STYLE parameter in the Freeze Parameters Window. Be sure to leave the VOICE parameter unchecked.

2) Turn on (activate) the Freeze button

After performing the above, you can select any Style and any of its 4 OTS registrations and all OTS voice setups will change EXCEPT the 'left' voice.

NOTE: Not only the Tyros, but the PSR2000 & 9000pro as well, allow you to freeze just the 'left voice' in the same manner. What I find strange is that this doesn't appear to be covered in any of the Yamaha manuals. Can anyone else find it?
