ADJUSTING THE POLYPHONY/TEXTURE

The Concertmate 575 lets you adjust the “polyphony” and “texture” of its sound.

•Polyphony refers to the level of harmony and the number of notes (such as 4 or 8) played to produce the sound.

•Texture refers to the sound’s qual- ity or depth.

Your Concertmate 575 has two po- lyphony/texture settings (1 and 2). The preset sounds listed in this chart can play with up to 8-note polyphony at Setting 1 (in other words, you can play and hear up to 8 notes at the same time). All other preset sounds (those not listed) play with up to 4-note po- lyphony at Setting 1.

At Setting 2, the opposite is true — the settings listed in the table play with up to 4-note polyphony, and all other sounds play with up to 8-note polypho- ny.

Each time you turn on the Concert- mate 575 or select a different sound, the Concertmate 575 automatically se- lects Setting 1. To switch the polypho- ny/texture setting at any time during play, simply press SOUND POLY/TEX- TURE.
