playing a bowed instrument (glissando), where the sound
is carried in a continuous glide from one note to the next,
through all the intermediate pitches.

The portamento is applied not only to the AN1x's voice as
audio output from the internal tone generator, portamento
data is also output from the MIDI [OUT] terminal, which
means it can affect a voice of an external tone generator
assigned to the same MIDI channel as the AN1x, or be
recorded as Control Change data in an external MIDI
sequencer.
Turning PORTAMENTO

Pressing the [PORTAMENTO] switch turns the portamento

Control function (see page 95).
