Sound Effect and Drum Pads (PSR-185)
The Sound Effect and Drum Pads let you play se-
lected drum and percussion sounds, as well as
special sound effects, from the four Pads directly
above the right side of the keyboard.
The Pads can be played in any of the modes. You can
play them alone (for example, to try out your own
rhythms), or play them along with the Styles, Songs
and Jam Track patterns. Eight banks of sounds (four
in each bank) are available. There are 16 Sound
Effect sounds and 16 Drum sounds, and each sound is
shown graphically on the panel.
Use the button corresponding to the desired set of
sounds to change the bank. Press the button repeat-
edly to step through the banks. The selected bank
number briefly appears in the MULTI DISPLAY. For
example, to select bank 3, press the button next to
SOUND EFFECT repeatedly until “3” appears in the
MULTI DISPLAY.
NOTE
Up to two Pads can be played simultaneously. Three or more
Pads can be played successively; however, the limit on total
simultaneous notes may result in cancellation of some sounds
or notes played in the Voice, Style or Song mode. (Refer to
the note regarding polyphony on page 5.)
NOTE
Unlike the "one-shot” Drum sounds, the Sound Effect sounds
are complex sequences of sounds and once triggered, play
through to their end.
When the power is turned on, bank 1 of the Sound
Effect sounds is automatically selected.
