PSR-S500 Owner’s Manual 21
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.
