Plaing files

If you only messed up one character in a string of characters, simply use the data dial to move the cursor to that character and then enter the correct character. You may have noticed that many of the "files" in the PSR and Tyros have a little icon next to the file name. For example, if you select a GrandPiano voice, you see a miniature piano as an icon. A trumpet will have a small trumpet as an icon. You can select any icon you want to go along with your file name.

Folders already have a preset icon of a folder, which you can not change. When you do, you will be presented with an icon selection screen. On the PSR illustrated below there are 5 pages of icons, each page showing 50 selections. On any individual page, use the [3] buttons to move up and down the list of icons and the [4] and [5] buttons to move left and right.

The cursor is, again, hard to see but if you look closely, you will see it. The icon currently under the cursor is also shown in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. Examine the figure below to see how to navigate this screen and pick your icon. For the sample task we will show in these lessons, I will be creating "my own" version of a preset style and saving it in my own "Ballad" folder.

Let's also give it a unique icon. I have a preset style that I have renamed by appending a "-j" to the end of the name. It is on my USB drive in the "Ballad" folder. The Tyros3 gives all styles the same "Pro" icon. We want to change that to something else. So, since the icon is part of the file name, the first step os to select the NAME option.

With the NAME option selected, the next thing we need to do is to select the file or the folder that we wish to rename. In this case, there is only one file visible on the screen so we press [A] to select and highlight that file and then press the OK button [7B]. In the Tyros3, there are 18 pages of icons available. The Tyros5, however, only has 4 pages with a total of icons.

Each page has up to 50 icons. The [TAB] buttons are used to move back and forth between the various pages. Unfortunately, there is no way to jump to a particular page or to move instantly to the first or last page.

That's too bad, because tabbing through all these pages can take some time! This particular style starts off with a RomanceClarinet as the R1 voice. So, I decide to find an icon of a clarinet and use that. It doesn't matter what icon you choose; the icons have no effect on the style playback, only on the visual name of the style. Searching through the pages, I find some clarinets on page 6. The [3] and [5] buttons can be used to move the cursor, which indicates the currently selected icon, left and right on the page.

The [4] buttons move the cursor up and down a particular column. There is a clarinet as the 9th icon on the first row. I move the cursor there to select it and then press OK. This takes me back to the NAME input screen. Behind the scenes, however, the operating system keeps track of what you are storing.

The only thing on my USB drive is a single folder called ExFiles with the example files from the previous lesson. You select this option, which will create a new file folder, by pressing the [7B] button. The "B" in this notation stands for "Bottom" and [7B] means the button below the number 7 button. By default, the Tyros3 enters "NewFolder" as the folder name. I don't want that name so I have to delete those characters and enter the name I want. You use the buttons at the bottom of the screen to enter characters for the new folder name.

In this screen shot, I have entered the characters for a new folder name "Ballad". When you have the name that you want, press the OK button to complete creating your new folder. If you were to open up the Ballad folder, you would see that it is empty. We haven't put any files in it yet. Folders are shown in all the displays. OK, we now have our new folder. These special handles were added to WYSIWYG in order to prevent the same issues in the future, but this could only be done in the next version of the software.
