trying to control an outboard harmoniser with the Tyros over midi . . . my friend is convinced he has seen a store demonstration of a Tyros set up with some kind of outboard harmoniser, where the harmoniser was responding correctly to played single finger chords. This suggests that there may be some way of getting the Tyros to send out true chord data even in single finger mode.
I'm not aware of any external harmonizer which recognizes Yamaha System exclusive .XF Chord data, so in order for an external harmonizer to recognize 'single notes' sent to it from any keyboard (in this case Tyros1), it must support "VOCODER" mode. Most external vocal harmonizers I know include this feature, so setting the external harmonizer to vocoder mode should hopefully provide the solution. Good luck. - Scott
