PSR-S500 Owner’s Manual

Drum Kits are collections of drum and percussion instruments. When you select a violin or other normal
instrument—as a 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 percussion instrument.
1

The “PERC./DRUM KIT” category appears.
2
Rotate the dial and select the Drum Kit you want to play
(013–027).
Voice numbers 001–012 are percussion numbers.
