• Loud-playing gamelans consist of instruments only (no voices) and are associated with noisy outdoor events (festivals, processions, and so on.). In loud-playing performance style only the drums and louder metal instruments are used.
• Soft-playing gamelans are associated with more intimate indoor events and involve singing. In soft-playing style these instruments play softly, and voices and "soft-playing" instruments are featured.
