About simultaneous polyphony
The RD-600 is able to produce a maximum of 64 notes at once, but the number of notes which
can actually be played will depend on the Tone.
Some Tones consist of multiple voices (sound components) which are combined in order to cre-
ate the best possible sound. For example when you play one note with a Tone that consists of
two voices, you will be using two voices, meaning that in actuality a maximum of 32 notes can
be played. If you are playing a Layer two Tones will be sounding simultaneously, meaning that
the number of simultaneous notes will be even less. For the number of voices used by each
Tone, refer to the included Tone list.

Playing different Tones in combination/separately — Layer/Split —
By turning on the indicators of both the INT UPPER / LOWER part switches, you can play the
Tones of these parts together (layered).
You can also divide the keyboard into two halves at a specified key (Split Point) and play these
Tones separately in the two areas.
