Notes:
• The following preset sounds do
not follow the musical scale, but
change slightly as y ou play them
in different octaves on the keyboard:
• 10 SAMBA WHISTLE
• 54 TOM
• 55 ROCK DRUM
• 56 SWING DRUM
• 57 TRIANGLE
• 59 MATSURI
• 82 INSECT
• 83 EMERGENCY ALARM
• 84 LASER BEAM
• 85 COSMIC SOUND
• 87 CAR HORN
• 89 MOTORCYCLE
• Most sounds on this keyboard
have been recorded and processed using a technique called
digital sampling. To ensure a high
level of tonal quality, samples are
taken in the low, mid, and high
ranges and then combined to
sound amazingly close to the originals.
You might notice very slight differences in volum e or sound quality
for some sounds when you play
them at different positions on the
keyboard. This is an unav oidable
result of digital sampling and is
not a malfunction.

(see “Easy Random Fingering”).
Standard Fingering
•
— lets you

formations of three or four notes
(see “Standard Fingering” on

fingering, when you press one, two,
three, or four accompanim ent keys at
the same time.
Number
of Keys

SOUND
POLY/TEXTURE
42-402 9.fm Page 18 Wednesday, August 11, 1999 4:14 PM
ADJUSTING THE
POLYPHONY/TEXTURE
The Concertmate 575 lets you adjust
the “polyphony” and “texture” of its
sound.
Polyphony
•
harmony and the number of notes
(such as 4 or 8) played to produce
the sound.
Texture
•
ity or depth.
Your Concertmate 575 has two polyphony/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 polyphony at Setting 1.
