5: Portamento

●

Portamento Mode

≤ Full Time, Fingered.

Portamento produces a “slide” effect between subsequently played notes. The

“Portamento Mode” parameter determines how the portamento slide is produced.

The portamento slide will occur between any two subsequent notes

when the portamento switch is on, even if the first note is released

before the scond is played.

The portamento slide will only occur if the first note is still held when

the second note is played.

Full Time

Fingered

• If the “Key Mode” parameter (≥ Page 31) is set to “Poly” or “Unison”

the “Portamento Mode” parameter is fixed at “Full Time” and cannot

be changed.

●

Time MIDI Control

≤ off, on.

The portamento time (the length of the slide between notes) can be controlled in

realtime via a foot controller connected to the FOOT CONTROLLER 2 jack, the MODU-

LATION 2 wheel, or MIDI portamento time messages from an external device. This

parameter turns realtime portamento time control off or on.

• In order to use the foot controller or modulation wheel for portamento time

control, use the UTILITY mode “Assignable Controller” page (≥

Page 156) to assign the foot controller or modulation wheel to “Porta

Time” (MIDI control number 005).

●

Time

≤ 0 … 127.

This parameter becomes active only when the “Time MIDI Control” param-

eter, above, is turned “off”. The “Time” parameter sets the portamento time. A setting

of “0” produces the fastest portamento time; “127” produces the longest portamento

slide effect.

●

Element 1

≤ off, on.

Turns portamento off or on for element 1 only.
