Fun Sounds; Drum Kits; Sound Effects - Yamaha Portatone PSR-E403 Owner's Manual

This instrument includes a range of drum kits and unique sound effects you can
use for entertainment. Laughter, babbling brooks, jet fly-bys, eerie effects, and
much more. These sounds can be a great way to enhance the mood at parties.
Drum kits are collections of drum and percussion instruments. When you select a violin or other normal
instrument main voice, for example, all keys produce the sound of the same violin, only at different pitches. If
you select a drum kit as the main voice, however, each key produces the sound of a different drum or percus-
sion instrument.

Sound Effects

As you try out the various keys you'll hear the sound
of a submarine, a telephone bell, a creaking door,
laughter, and many other useful effects. "127 SFX
Kit1" includes lightning, running water, dogs bark-
ing, and others. Some keys do not have assigned
sound effects, and will therefore produce no sound.
For details on the instruments included in the SFX kit
voices, see "SFX Kit 1" and "SFX Kit 2" in the
"Drum Kit List" on page 110.
