Notes:
• The Concertmate 970 has 12-note(maximum) polyphonic sound.This
means that you can play upto 12 different notes at the sametime
with most of the keyboard’spreset sounds. Many of the key-board’s
preset sounds, however,are capable of only 6-note polyph-ony.
• Most sounds on this keyboardhave been recorded and pro-cessed
using a technique calleddigital sampling. To ensure a highlevel of
tonal quality, samples aretaken in the low, mid, and highranges and
then combined tosound amazingly close to the orig-inals. You might
notice very slightdifferences in volume or soundquality for some
sounds when youplay them at different positions onthe keyboard.
This is an unavoid-able result of multiple samplingand is not a
malfunction.
• Sounds 75–79 (which are soundeffects) do not follow the
musicalscale when played, but changeeffect as you play them in
differentoctaves on the keyboard.

or four notes, andlets the experienced musician play a wider
variety of accompaniment chords.
You can play the following 15 chord types on your Concertmate
970, in any key, us-ing the standard fingering method.
Notes:
• To produce a 7, m7, M7, mM7, 9, or m9 chord, omit the finger
positions shownin parentheses.

for each chord.It is possible to play a chord using several
different positions. For example, thefollowing three fingering
