Normal Voices & Drum Voices; Part Mode Setting - Yamaha S08 Owner's Manual

Normal Voices & Drum Voices
There are two Voice types: Normal Voices and Drum Voices. Normal Voices are mainly pitched instrument sounds
that can be played over the range of the keyboard. Drum Voices are mainly percussion/drum sounds that are
assigned to individual notes on the keyboard. The Drum Voices also include special sound effects (SFX Kit).
