Using Controllers; Modulation Wheel - Yamaha S-80 Owner's Manual

Following the example in this manual, if you
select Voice Program Number 098(G02) of INT,
Portamento is already set for this Voice. Use the
PORTAMENTO knob and [ON/OFF] keys to
change the portamento time and switch
portamento on/off (Page 74).
Using the Arpeggiator Hold
With Arpeggiator Hold switched on, the
arpeggiator will continue to play back, even after
you have released your fingers from the notes on
the keyboard. The same arpeggio pattern will be
played back until you press another set of notes
on the keyboard.
You can switch Arpeggiator Hold on/off by using
Knob [2] to change the Hold parameter of the
ARP Type screen.
With Arpeggio Hold switched on, the Arpeggiator
continues to play back after releasing the
keyboard, leaving your left hand free to perform
other tasks, such as adjusting the sliders.
