Voices

The PSR-9000 actually includes several voice categories: the PSR-9000 original preset

voices, percussion kits, the XG voices, the Organ Flutes voices, and Custom voices.

●

Keyboard Percussion

When one of the Drum Kit or SFX Kit voices in the [PERCUSSION] group is selected, you can

play 28 different drums and percussion instruments or SFX (sound effects) sounds on the

keyboard. The drum and percussion instruments played by the various keys are marked by

symbols below the keys. Some of the instruments in the different drum kit voices sound differ-

ent even though they have the same name, while others are essentially the same.

See page 174 for a complete listing of the Drum Kit and SFX Kit assignments.

●

XG Voices

Yamaha’s XG format is a major new enhancement to the GM (General MIDI) System Level 1

format. It provides a larger number of voices as well as greater expressive control and a wide

range of effects. XG also ensures continued compatibility with future instruments and soft-

ware.

Simultaneously hold down the desired VOICE button and press the [XG] button to call up the

XG voice display of the corresponding category.
