Fun Sounds; Drum Kits; Sound Effects - Yamaha Portatone PSR-295 Owner's Manual

This instrument includes a range of drum kits and unique sound effects
you can use for entertainment. Laughter, babbling brooks, jet fly-bys, eerie
effects, and much more. These sounds can be a great way to enhance the
mood at parties.
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.

Sound Effects

As you try out the various keys you'll hear the
sound of a submarine, a telephone bell, a
creaking door, laughter, and many other useful
effects. "125 SFX Kit1" includes light-
ning, running water, dogs barking, and others.
Some keys do not have assigned sound effects,
and will therefore produce no sound.
For details on the instruments included in the
SFX kit voices, see "SFX Kit 1" and "SFX Kit
2" in the "Drum kit List" on page 83.
