Explanation
Portamento will always be applied.
Applies portamento only when you play
legato (while you are playing one note
and then change your fingering to play
another note).
The time it takes will depend on the
distance between the two pitches.
The time it takes will be constant.
Starts a new portamento when another
key is pressed while the pitch is changing.

When portamento is used, this specifies
the time over which the pitch will change.
Higher settings will cause the pitch
change to the next note to take more
time.
Change on a linear curve.
Change on a non-linear curve
(gentle slope).
Change on a non-linear curve
(steep slope).
Specifies the degree of pitch change in
semitones when the Pitch Bend lever is all
the way right.
For example, if this parameter is set to
"48, " the pitch will rise four octave when
the pitch bend lever is moved to the
right-most position.
Specifies the degree of pitch change in
semitones when the Pitch Bend lever is all
the way left.
For example if this is set to "48" and you
move the pitch bend lever all the way to
the left, the pitch will fall 4 octaves.
Finely adjusts the degree of pitch change
in one-cent units when the Pitch Bend
lever is moved to the right.

partials 1 and 2 (3 and 4) are sounded as a pair, either

each partial so that the Velocity Range (p. 40) does not
conflict.

Tone Parameters
Explanation
The pitch bend lever works in the
conventional way.
The pitch bend effect applies only to the
last-played note.
If a note-on occurs while pitch bend is
already applied, the new note sounds at
the center pitch.
The pitch starts changing only after the
controller passes through the center
position.
Specifies the amount of volume change
that occurs when you operate the soft
pedal (CC#67).
This is effective when specified for piano
sounds.
Off
Different partials are sounded according
to the playing velocity and the Velocity
Range Lower/Upper and Velocity Fade
Low/Up (p. 40) settings.
Each partial is sounded randomly or
cyclically.
Each partial is sounded randomly or
cyclically.
When using Velocity Control between
partials, the crossfade level changes in a
non-linear curve.
When using Velocity Control to switch
between partials, the crossfade level
changes in a linear curve.
Adjusts the slight pitch drift that occurs
when notes are played on an analog
synthesizer.
Use this to adjust the amount of drift.
Simulates the changes that occur as a
unit ages.
