Mono/Poly Mode; Portamento Parameters; Portamento Switch; Portamento Time - Yamaha MU100 Owner's Manual

Mono/Poly Mode

Settings: mono, poly
Height of bars indicates selected Mono/Poly
Mode setting for each Part. (A single bar
indicates "mono" setting, while full height
indicates "poly".)
This determines whether the Part's Voice
is played monophonically (only one note
at a time) or polyphonically (up to 64
notes at a time). This parameter is not
available when the Part Mode is set to
Drum.

Portamento Parameters

Portamento is a function that creates a
smooth pitch glide from one note to an-
other.
Portamento Switch (PortametSw)
Settings: off, on
Height of bars indicates selected Portamento
Switch setting for each Part. (A single bar
indicates "off" setting, while full heignt
indicates "on.")
This determines whether Portamento is
on or off for the Part. (This parameter is
not available for Drum Parts.)
Portamento Time (PortametTm)
Range:
This determines the time of the
Portamento effect, or how long it takes
to glide the pitch from one note to the
next. Higher values result in a longer pitch
glide time. (This parameter is not avail-
able for Drum Parts.)

Element

Element Reserve (ElemReserv)
Range:
This determines the minimum number of
sound elements that are reserved for the
Part. This setting ensures that when the
maximum simultaneous polyphony of 64
notes (or elements) is exceeded, the se-
lected Part will still play up to the num-
ber of elements set here. For example, if
the Element Reserve of a Part is set to
10, the sounds for that Part (up to 10 si-
multaneous notes) will not be cut off,
even if the maximum polyphony is ex-
ceeded. The total number of Element
Reserve values for all of the Parts cannot
exceed 64.
This parameter is useful when playing
back dense song data, and it ensures that
the most important Parts in the song data
will play properly without being cut off.
