Polyphony

The C-520 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
Page
polyphony. When the number of notes exceeds the limit of the
10
sound, some notes will be stopped, so that the new ones can be
heard.
Furthermore, when playing in Layer mode with more than two
12
notes, the max. polyphony depends on how many oscillators
are used in total.

Please refer to the table on page 277 for more information
about the number of oscillators used by each sound.
