■ Pad Performances
Drum sounds are divided into two banks, Drum Bank A and Drum Bank B, each of which
contains sixteen sounds, with one of the sixteen sounds each being assigned to a key pad.

With the DR-670, you can elect to have either Drum Bank A or B, or bass sounds played
when the key pads are tapped.

About Polyphony
The DR-670 features 20-voice polyphony; that is, a maximum of twenty sounds (voices)
can be played simultaneously. However, some instruments use two voices each time
they sound, so when playing such instruments, the actual number of simultaneous
notes may be less than twenty.
To find the number of voices used by each instrument, refer to the “Instrument/Bass
Tone List” (p. 99).
