SPECIAL FEATURES
USING THE
PERCUSSION PADS
The Concertmate-580’s percussion
pads put the sound of five different per-
cussion instruments — bass drum,
conga, snare drum, hi-hat, and cymbal
— at your fingertips.
To play a percussion pad sound, sim-
ply press the desired pad at any time
during play. The keyboard plays the
selected percussion sound once each
time you press the pad. Repeatedly
press the pad to play the selected
sound several times in a row.
Note
: The Concertmate-580 has nine
sound channels. This means that you
can play and hear up to nine notes at
one time on the keyboard.
The percussion pads automatically
turn on each time you press any one of
the pads. While turned on, the percus-
sion pads use three of the nine avail-
able sound channels. To turn off the
percussion pads and free-up those
sound channels, press
PERCUS OFF
so its red indicator turns off.
USING SUSTAIN
The Concertmate-580’s sustain fea-
ture lets you give your music a “linger-
ing” effect, making the note(s) sound
for a short time after you stop pressing
the key(s). To turn on the sustain fea-
ture, simply press
SUSTAIN
before or
during play.
To turn off sustain, press
SUSTAIN
again.
