Hi Tore, your question is an EXCELLENT one.

I too viewed the onboard Tyros demo you're referring to of which purports that the Tyrs includes this feature, and am as baffled as you about 'how to' to get the REAL TIME recording of the MIXER CONSOLE's knob & fader setting moves to work.

I looked both (in the Tyros' LCD screen menus) as well as in the Tyros Owners manual and couldn't find anything on this. Did I perhaps overlook something, or has
Yamaha not actually delivered on this feature. Thanks for input & help. - Scott

Again, here are step by step instructions on how to access the aforementioned demo:

DEMO> Menu (press upper section of 8 button) > Mixing Console (F button) > What Is Automation (press lower section of 3 button) of which first 1) STATES:

"The faders and knobs of the mixing console control many different parameters like volume, panning, effects settings, EQ, and others. These settings are not static, but may also change dynamically within a piece of music. Like a pro digital mixer, any movement of the knobs & faders can be recorded within a song. When the song is played back, then also all the different settings & movements within the song are recalled."

and then 2) DEMONSTRATES (via video clip) after you press the 'lower section of the 1 button'.
