8.4.4 PITCH PARAMETERS MENU

To access the PITCH PARAMETERS menu press the POLY EDIT switch.
FLASHING=EDIT
The POLY EDIT switch will then start fl ashing and the VOICE PARAMETERS menu is
then shown. Press the EDIT switch again to show the PITCH PARAMETERS menu:
Note: The page location memory function can be turned off using the
REMEMBER PAGES function in the GLOBAL SETTINGS menu.
To navigate the options in the PITCH PARAMETERS menu, use the UP, DOWN,
switches.
Selected parameters are adjusted using the -NO/+YES switches, the rotary knob
or the fader. The rotary knob has a click which allows very accurate control. The
fader allows rapid adjustment across the full range:
The following options are available in the PITCH PARAMETERS menu:
TRANSPOSE - This option allows you to TRANSPOSE notes played on the
keyboard. The notes played can be transposed in steps of single semitones.
The TRANSPOSE range is from -48 to +48. The default TRANSPOSE setting is 0.
So a transpose of -7 would mean that all played keys would be transposed down
by seven semitones.
PORTA-TIME - This option is the same as the PORTAMENTO knob on the surface.
Any changes on the surface will be refl ected here.
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 PORTAMENTO range is from 0(0.00s - instant change of note) to 255(10.00s of
glide). The default PORTAMENTO setting is 0(0.00s/Off ).
PORTA-MODE - This option allows you to confi gure the PORTAMENTO function
to operate in diff erent ways depending on your requirements. The options are as
follows:
Normal - In this mode the slide time between played notes is a fi xed time,
• •
regardless of overlapping notes or pitch distance. The sliding between notes
is linear.
• • Fingered - In this mode the slide time between played notes is a fi xed time,
regardless of pitch distance. Sliding is only applied when notes overlap. The
sliding between notes is linear.
• • Fix-Rate - In this mode the slide time between played notes is a fi xed rate,
regardless of overlapping notes. The pitch distance from note to note will
aff ect the time it takes to slide between notes. The sliding between notes is
linear.
• • Fix-Fing - In this mode the slide time between played notes is a fi xed rate.
The pitch distance from note to note will aff ect the time it takes to slide
between notes. Sliding is only applied when notes overlap. The sliding
between notes is linear.
• • Exp - In this mode the slide time between played notes is a fi xed rate. The
pitch distance from note to note will aff ect the time it takes to slide between
notes. Sliding is only applied when notes overlap. The sliding between notes
is exponential.
• • Exp-Fing - In this mode the slide time between played notes is a fi xed
rate. The pitch distance from note to note will aff ect the time it takes to
slide between notes. Sliding is only applied when notes overlap. The sliding
between notes is exponential.
• • Fixed+2 - In this mode the note always starts at a pitch two semitones
above the played note regardless of overlapping notes or pitch distance. The
sliding between notes is exponential.
• • Fixed-2 - In this mode the note always starts at a pitch two semitones below
the played note regardless of overlapping notes or pitch distance. The sliding
between notes is exponential.
Fixed+5 - In this mode the note always starts at a pitch fi ve semitones
• •
above the played note regardless of overlapping notes or pitch distance. The
sliding between notes is exponential.
• • Fixed-5 - In this mode the note always starts at a pitch fi ve semitones below
the played note regardless of overlapping notes or pitch distance. The sliding
between notes is exponential.
• • Fixed+12 - In this mode the note always starts at a pitch twelve semitones
(one octave) above the played note regardless of overlapping notes or pitch
distance. The sliding between notes is exponential.
Fixed-12 - In this mode the note always starts at a pitch twelve semitones
• •
(one octave) below the played note regardless of overlapping notes or pitch
distance. The sliding between notes is exponential.
• • Fixed+24 - In this mode the note always starts at a pitch twenty-four
semitones (two octaves) above the played note regardless of overlapping
notes or pitch distance. The sliding between notes is exponential.
• • Fixed-24 - In this mode the note always starts at a pitch twenty-four
semitones (two octaves) below the played note regardless of overlapping
notes or pitch distance. The sliding between notes is exponential .
