Keyboard Percussion and Special Effects
......................................................................................................
When one of the Drum Kit or SFX Kit voices in the [PERCUS-
SION] group is selected, you can play 61 different drums and
percussion instruments or SFX (special effects) sounds on the
keyboard. The drum and percussion instruments played by the
various keys are marked by symbols above the keys. Some of the
instruments in the different drum kit voices sound different even
though they have the same name, while others are essentially
the same.

Set Initial Volume Levels
.....................................................................................................................................................
Set the [MASTER VOLUME] control to an appropriate
level, and make sure that the LEFT, R1, R2, and LEAD volume
levels in the
MIXING CONSOLE MAIN VOLUME
display
are set to their maximum “127” levels (use the corresponding
LCD dials to set these volume levels if necessary). You can set
the [MASTER VOLUME] control for the most comfortable
overall volume level after beginning to play.
• No sound will be produced if all volume levels other than the [MASTER
VOLUME] control are set to their minimum values.
• The instrument symbols above the keyboard correspond to the actual
instrument sounds only when the default MIXER and normal play mode
OCTAVE settings apply. If the OCTAVE settings are altered the
instruments will shift position accordingly.
• See page 166 for a complete listing of the Drum Kit and SFX Kit
assignments.
• The Transpose, Tune, Sustain, Harmony, Left Hold, and Modulation
functions do not affect the Drum Kit or SFX Kit voices.
• The pitch bend wheel can be used to bend the pitch of the keyboard
percussion and SFX voices to create unique musical effects, but it has
little effect on some percussion sounds.
