Portamento Mode - Roland JX-305 Owner's Manual

Solo Legato (Solo Legato Switch)
Solo Legato is a function that can be applied when the
Solo Switch is on. When Solo Legato is on, playing a
note while the previous note is still held will cause
only the pitch to change, without generating a new
attack. This creates a smooth transition between notes,
which is effective when you wish to simulate the ham-
mering-on and pulling-off techniques used by a gui-
tarist.

played legato (i.e., notes played before
the previous note is released).
Portamento Type
Select the type of the portamento effect.
Available settings:
RATE : The time over which the pitch change occurs
will depend on the distance between the two
pitches.
TIME : The pitch change will occur over a fixed time,
regardless of the distance between pitches.
Portamento Start (Portamento Start
Pitch)
When portamento is on, pressing another key during
the pitch change will cause a new pitch change to
begin. This parameter specifies the pitch at which the
change will begin.
Available settings:
PITCH : When another key is pressed while the pitch
is changing, the new portamento movement
will begin from the pitch at that moment.
NOTE : The new portamento movement will begin
from the pitch toward which it had been
moving.
