When we say that a synth is GM compatible, it means that there is a basic set of instruments in the Tyros that will be triggered by default when BiaB sends instructions to it. Those instruments sound pretty good, but there are many other sets of instruments in the Tyros that will sound even better. The "Live" and 'Sweet" voices, for instance, are over and above the GM set. You can access these from BiaB with a bit of programming.

Here is an example: On my Yamaha, the "Live" piano is voice #1, MSB 000, LSB 113. When I tell BiaB to call these numbers, the "Live" piano is what I hear.

Look in the back of your Tyros manual to see the codes and numbers for all the voices the Tyros has.

Then get the patchmap that PGHBOEMIKE sent you installed in BiaB and figured out. When you have these working, you will get sounds out of the Tyros that beat any soft synth.

There is a learning curve to all this, but I promise you it will be worth it.

(All these instructions are digital code in the language called 'MIDI.' They are communicated using a USB cable from the computer to the Tyros. The realtracks are Audio, not digital, not MIDI, and require the audio connections described by others above.)
