different
portamento
modes
are available: Full

is
set to
POLY,
only
the Full

mode
is
accessible.
In
the
MONO
mode,
however, you
have
a
choice
between
the
Full
Time and
Fingered
portamento modes.

"Full T.

A
conventional
portamento
effect
in
which portamento occurs
whenever
a
new
note
is
played.

"Fingered

(MONO
mode): Portamento only occurs
if
the previously
played note
is
held
while
the next
note
is
played. This
mode
is
useful
in
re-
creating the effect of guitar string
bending techniques, acoustic bass or
bass
guitar slide effects, etc.
If
you
lift
your
hand
off
the

will
be no portamento
