5.4 Octave Shift (OCT UP/DOWN)

These switches allow you to raise or lower the keyboard's pitch range in steps of
one octave.
The LEDs above the switches labelled OCTAVE will show the current octave shift
applied to the keyboard.
Pressing both switches together will reset to Octave 0 (no transpose).

5.5 Voice Indication

The DeepMind 12 has 12 independent voices. There are 12 LEDs above the
keyboard showing the status of each voice.
When playing in traditional POLY mode the voice LEDs will light individually using
the full polyphonic capabilities.
When playing in any of the UNISON or MONO modes the voice LEDs will light
simultaneously depending on the number of voices allocated.
Note: The settings to adjust the polyphony and voice allocation can be found in
the POLY-VOICE PARAMETERS menu.

5.6 Portamento

The PORTAMENTO function makes the pitch of a note glide up or down from
the previously played note. The PORTAMENTO knob controls the time taken to
transition from the previous note to the currently played note.
The knob ranges from 0 seconds (instant change of note, with no pitch gliding) to
10 seconds.
The PORTAMENTO function can be tuned to your specifi c playing requirements by
way of 14 diff erent modes.
The PORTAMENTO function can also be balanced between the OSCs, allowing you
to set the ratio of PORTAMENTO applied to OSC 1 and OSC 2.
