NOTES
• Voices in the DUAL VOICE/SOUND EFFECT group
are actually combinations of two voices, so the total
number of simultaneous notes that can be played when
these voices are selected is less than when any of the
other voices are selected.
When either of the DRUMS voices is selected —
Drum Kit or Pop Drum Kit, you can play 59 different
drums and percussion instruments on the keyboard. The
drums and percussion instruments played by the various
keys are marked by symbols above the keys. Some of the
instruments in the Drum Kit and Pop Drum Kit voices
sound different even though they have the same name,
while others are essentially the same.
