include 126 “pitched” voices (voice numbers 1 through 126) and 10 drum kits
(numbers 127 through 136), while the GM voice set includes 128 pitched voices
(voice numbers 137 through 264).

A Word About the “R1”, “R2”, and “L” Voices

The PSR-330 allows up to three voices to be selected at the same time: “R1” (Right-

hand 1), “R2”, (Right-hand 2) and “L” (Left-hand). Only the “R1” voice is used when
you’re playing a single voice over the entire range of the keyboard. When you’re using
the DUAL VOICE and/or SPLIT VOICE modes (decribed on pages 17 and 18),
however, the “R2” and/or “L” voice will be used as well. The numbers of the currently
selected R1, R2, and L voices are all shown on the display panel.

The R2 and L voices will be discussed in more detail in the DUAL VOICE and

SPLIT VOICE sections. For now we’ll describe how to select and play the main R1
voice.
