• You can set an initial positive amount with the Intensity
parameter, and then reduce this amount with AMS. In
this case, the final effect of the EG is simply diminished,
and not actually inverted, as shown in example C.
• You can also set the AMS Intensity amount to be greater
than the initial Intensity. In this case, the EG will have a
positive effect with low modulation amounts, and an
inverted effect at higher modulation amounts–as shown
in example D.

2–2c: Portamento
Portamento lets the pitch glide smoothly between notes,
instead of changing abruptly.
Enable
On (checked): Turns on Portamento, so that pitch glides
smoothly between notes.
Off (unchecked): Turns off Portamento. This is the default
state.
Fingered
This parameter allows you to control Portamento through
your playing style. When it's enabled, playing legato will
turn on Portamento, and playing detached will turn it off
again.
This option is only available when Portamento Enable is
turned on.
On (checked): Turns on Fingered Portamento.
Off (unchecked): Turns off Fingered Portamento.
Mode
Rate means that Portamento will always take the same
amount of time to glide a given distance in pitch - for
instance, one second per octave. Put another way, gliding
several octaves will take much longer than gliding a half-
step.
Time means that Portamento will always take the same
amount of time to glide from one note to another, regardless
of the difference in pitch. This is especially useful when
playing chords, since it ensures that each note in the chord
will end its glide at the same time.
Time
This controls the portamento time. Higher values mean
longer times, for slower changes in pitch.
This option is only available when Portamento Enable is
turned on.

PROG P2: OSC/Pitch 2–2: OSC1 Pitch
Assigning SW1 or SW2 to Portamento On/Off
You can turn portamento on/off by using the KYBD-61/73/
88's two assignable switches SW1 and SW2.
To do so:
1. Go to the Prog P1: Basic/DT/Ctrls– Controllers Setup
page.
2. Under Panel Switch Assign, set either SW1 or SW2 to
Porta.SW (CC#65).
Now, the selected switch will enable and disable
Portamento. It will also send the MIDI Portamento
controller, CC#65.
Even if you don't assign SW1/2 to Portamento, you can
still use MIDI Controller #65 to turn Portamento on and
off.
2–2d: LFO1/2
LFO1 and LFO2 can both control the pitch. You can control
the strength of each LFO's modulation in three different
ways:
• Set an initial amount of LFO modulation, using the
LFO1 Int., LFO2 Int. parameters.
• Use JS +Y Int. to adjust the amount of LFO produced by
JS+Y operations.
• Use any AMS source to scale the amount the LFO.
The results are added together to produce the total LFO
effect.
LFO1
LFO1 Int. (LFO1 Intensity)
This controls the initial effect of the LFO on the pitch, in
semitones, before any JS+Y Int. or AMS modulation.
Negative (–) settings will invert the phase of the LFO.
JS+Y Int. (LFO1 JS+Y Intensity) [–12.00...+12.00]
Specify the depth of pitch modulation produced by OSC1
LFO1 when the KYBD-61/73/88's joystick is moved in the
+Y (away) direction (or when CC#1 is received). (Joystick
control in the +Y direction is called "JS +Y.")
This parameter sets the maximum amount of LFO
modulation added by JS+Y, in semitones.
As this value is increased, moving the joystick in the +Y
direction will cause the OSC1 LFO1 to produce deeper pitch
modulation.
Negative (–) settings will invert the phase of the LFO. You
can also use this to reduce the initial amount of the LFO, as
set by LFO1 Int., above. For example:
1. Set LFO1 Int. to +7.00.
The LFO will now have a fairly strong effect on the pitch,
bending it by a perfect 5th.
2. Set JS+Y Int. Intensity to –7.00.
Now, if you move the joystick up, the effect of the LFO will
fade away. When the joystick is all the way at the top of its
range, the LFO will be completely cancelled out.
AMS (LFO1)
This selects any AMS modulation source to scale the amount
of the LFO applied to pitch.
For a list of AMS sources, please see "AMS (Alternate
Modulation Source) List" on page 588.
Intensity
This controls the depth and direction of the AMS (LFO1)
modulation for pitch.
