I purchased the unit from a private party and the original owners manual was not available. Having the ability to download it was extremely helpful and clarified operating the equipment immensely. This is a complicated unit and without the manual I would not have been able to maximize it's potential. Thank you.
Being a user of older radios of many kinds, preferring them over more modern rigs, this manual was invaluable in the programming of my two. I now know for certain what the assorted buttons functions are, and am very grateful to have found this excellent site. Many thanks for your assistance, Tony.
5 star quality on these downloadable manuals. Easy to read and all the information is there. A must when doing a custom install or needing to service your precious old school electronics.

ADJUSTING THE POLYPHONY/TEXTURE
The Concertmate 575 lets you adjust the �polyphony� and �texture� of its sound. � Polyphony refers to the level of harmony and the number of notes (such as 4 or 8) played to produce the sound. � Texture refers to the sound�s quality 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. Sound No.

At Setting 2, the opposite is true � the settings listed in the table play with up to 4-note polyphony, and all other sounds play with up to 8-note polyphony. Each time you turn on the Concertmate 575 or select a different sound, the Concertmate 575 automatically selects Setting 1. To switch the polyphony/texture setting at any time during play, simply press SOUND POLY/TEXTURE.
