Playing the PSR-520

Keyboard Percussion

When one of the eight PERCUSSION KIT voices are selected — voice

numbers 142 through 149 — you can play drums and percussion instru-
ments on the keyboard. The drums and percussion instruments played by the
various keys are marked by symbols below the keys.

• The Harmony/Echo and Dual

functions (pages 20 and 17)
cannot be turned ON while a
keyboard percussion voice is
selected, and will automatically
be turned OFF if a keyboard
percussion voice is selected
while they are ON.

• The TRANSPOSE parameter

(page 23) has no effect on the
keyboard percussion voices.

• See page 88 for a complete

listing of the keyboard percus-
sion drum instrument assign-
ments.

Play & Adjust Volume

.........................................................................................................................

You can now play the selected voice on the PSR-520 keyboard. Use the

[MASTER VOLUME] control to adjust the overall volume level.

adjusted independently from the
accompaniment volume via the
“Kybd Vol” function in the OVER-
ALL function group — see page
67. “Kybd Vol” function can be
quickly selected by pressing and
holding the [VOICE] button.

• The optimum octave settings

(OVERALL function: octave = 0)
are set to the keyboard for each
voice (except for keyboard per-
cussion).
