Notes:
• The Concertmate 970 has 12-note
(maximum) polyphonic
This means that you can play up
to 12 different notes at the same
time with most of the keyboard's
preset sounds. Many of the key-
board's preset sounds, however,
are capable of only 6-note polyph-
ony.
• Most sounds on this keyboard
have been recorded and pro-
cessed 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 orig-
inals. You might notice very slight
differences in volume or sound
quality for some sounds when you
play them at different positions on
the keyboard. This is an unavoid-
able result of multiple sampling
and is not a malfunction.
• Sounds 75–79 (which are sound
effects) do not follow the musical
scale when played, but change
effect as you play them in different
octaves on the keyboard.
