Polyphony

The C-720 contains sampled sounds, which have been record- ed, analyzed and processed from the actual sounds of the orig- inal musical instruments. These sounds usually consist of one or more different samples reproduced by pressing a key. Each sample is played back by a single oscillator. Sounds using just one oscillator have a full polyphony of max. 62 voices, while sounds using two oscillators have a limited polyphony of max. 31 notes. Sounds using more oscillators have a more limited polyphony. When the number of notes exceeds the limit of the sound, some notes will be stopped, so that the new ones can be heard.

Furthermore, when playing in Layer mode with more than two notes, the max. polyphony depends on how many oscillators are used in total.

Please refer to the table on page 68 for more information about the number of oscillators used by each sound.
