PORTAMENTO/GLISSAIMDO SECTION -
Together, four controls affect the transition
between
successive notes or chords: the
PORTAMENTO/
GLISSANDO
(P/G)
slider,
the
P/G
FOOT SWITCH
ASSIGNER,
the
P/G
SELECTOR SWITCH,
and the
FOOT
SWITCH.
Portamento
is
a smooth, continuous
glide in pitch
from
the
previously played note
or
chord
to
the
next
Glissando
is
also
a
change
in
pitch
from
the
previously played
note
or
chord
to the next, but
is
a
stepped progression rather than
a
continuous
slide
. . .
like
playing
a
chromatic
1/2 step scale
from one
note
or
chord
to the next.
A.
PORTAMENTO/GLISSANDO
SLIDER
(white)
Adjusts
how
long
it
takes to
move
from one
note
to
the next
when
Portamento
or Glissando
is
ON.
Set
at
SHORT
(up) there
is
no audible
effect; at
LONG
(down)
the
maximum
effect
is
obtained.
With the
lever at
maximum LONG
effect,
it
takes
about 10 seconds for the pitch to
change from
the lowest to the highest note on the
keyboard
(about 2 seconds per octave).
B.
P/G
FOOT SWITCH ASSIGNER
(black)
When
switched to
ON,
the
FOOT
SWITCH
controls
the
portamento
or glissando
effect. If
you
wish
to
activate the
P/G
effect with
your
hand, turn
off this
switch;
it
then bypasses
the
FOOT
SWITCH
and introduces the
amount
and type
of effect
you
set with the
P/G
SLIDER
and
SELECTOR
SWITCH,
NOTE:
With
the
FOOT
SWITCH
unplugged, the
ASSIGNER
switch does not function, so
P/G
is
always
ON.
If
you
prefer not to use
a
FOOT
SWITCH
and
you want
to switch P/G
ON
and
OFF,
do
it
by
moving
the
P/G
SLIDER
up and down,
or insert
an
unwired standard
phone
plug
in
the rear-panel foot
switch jack to activate the
ASSIGNER
switch.
C.
FOOT SWITCH PEDAL
Stepping on
the
FOOT SWITCH PEDAL
turns
ON
the
P/G
effect
only
when
the P/G
FOOT
SWITCH ASSIGNER
is
also
ON. The amount
of effect
is
set
with the
P/G SLIDER.
However,
releasing the pedal
will
immediately end
the gradual transition and cause
the pitch to
jump
to the note
BEING
played.
(This
FOOT
SWITCH PEDAL
may
also be used
to control Sustain;
see
the previous
section,
paragraph 13
C.)
D.
P/G
SELECTOR SWITCH
(black) With the
switch rocked back. Portamento
will be
activated
if
the appropriate
P/G
controls
are
also
ON.
With the switch rocked forward,
Glissando
will
be activated
instead.
