Playing Drum Kits

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 Press the [PERC./DRUM KIT] button. 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.
