Yamaha PortaTone PSR-180 Owner's Manual - Sound Effect and Drum List

Sound Effect and Drum Pads (PSR-180)

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.

NOTE

 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.

Sound Effect and Drum List

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.

Up to two Pads ten 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.)
