Description
• Sets the portamento mode for each element. "Portamento" denotes the pitch-slide
effect that occurs between sequentially played notes.
• If MaxNotes is set to 1 (monophonic), you can select between "fingered" and
"fulltime" portamento, as described below. If MaxNotes is set to 2 or above
(polyphonic), the VP1 automatically sets portamento to "0: retain" — meaning that
portamento will always be applied.
• 0: fingered
Portamento between sequentially played notes occurs only if you hit the second
note while still holding down the first note. (The portamento switch has no
effect.)
• 1: fulltime
Portamento is always applied.
• The window at the right of the screen indicates the current portamento mode setting
for each element. If the element is "off", the setting is listed as "------".
Important
• The VP1 does not apply portamento if Quick Edit "POR TIME" is set to zero. (
BASICS: 3-18)
• You cannot set the portamento mode for an element whose Element Switch is
"off". ( REFERENCE: 1-17)
• If you have not connected the portamento switch, the switch is considered to be set
ON and the Quick Edit "POR TIME" setting determines the effect. (

• Use the Portamento Resolution setting to set the smoothness of the portamento slide. For
