Basic Operations Polyphony The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes you can play at the same time. The keyboard has 24-note polyphony, which includes the notes you play as well as the rhythms and auto-accompaniment patterns that are played by the keyboard. This means that when a rhythm or autoaccompaniment pattern is being played by the keyboard, the number of notes (polyphony) available for keyboard play is reduced. Also note that some of the tones offer only 12-note polyphony. • When rhythm or auto accompaniment is playing, the number of sounds simultaneously played is reduced. Digital Sampling A number of the tones that are available with 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 provide you with sounds that are amazingly close to the originals. You may notice very slight differences in volume or sound quality for some tones when you play them at different positions on the keyboard. This is an unavoidable result of multiple sampling, and it is not a sign of malfunction. E-20 CTK591_e_08-21.p65 20 03.10.7, 4:27 PM 704A-E-022A
