List” on page 100.

Drum kits are collections of drum and percussion instruments. When you select a violin or other normal
instrument 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 percus-
sion instrument.

The sound effects are included in the drum kit voice group (voice numbers 132 and 133). When either of these
voices are selected you will be able to play a range of sound effects on the keyboard.
