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
