Playing the PSR-5700
Keyboard Percussion
When voice number 98 (DRUM KIT) or 99 (POP DRUM KIT) is se-
lected, 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.
The Transpose, Tune, Sustain, Harmony, Left Hold, Modulation, and Octave
Change functions do
not
affect the keyboard percussion sound.
The pitch bend wheel can be used to bend the pitch of the keyboard percussion
voices to create unique musical effects, but it has little effect on some percus-
sion sounds.
