Knob 2
[ Turn] Pitch Coarse
Turn the knob to adjust the sample's pitch, in semitone
increments.
[Range] -127 — +127
[ Press] QUICK...
Calls the quick entry menu (page 83).
Knob 3
[ Turn] Pitch Fine
Turn the knob to fine-tune the sample's pitch. Each click
adjusts the pitch by 1.171875 cent. (Note: 100 cents = 1
semitone)
[Range] -63 — +63
• When editing a sample bank "(---)" will appear and
this parameter cannot be edited.
[ Press] QUICK...
Calls the quick entry menu (page 83).
Knob 4
[ Turn] Fixed Pitch
Set this parameter on if you want the sample to play at
the same pitch over its entire key range.
[Range] off, on
• off ... The pitch of the sample depends on the note
played.
• on ... The sample will always play at the same
pitch.
Knob 5
[ Turn] Random Pitch
Use this setting to impart a slight, random pitch variation
to the sample's pitch.
[Range] 0 — 63
• Set to 0 to eliminate all random variation. Increase
the value to produce a greater range of variation.
• Note that this variation is applied to each note at the
start of its playback. This setting does not affect how
pitch develops once the note has started playing.

Calls the quick entry menu (page 83).

Knob 3
[ Turn] Sample Portamento Mode
Turn either knob to select the mode. The "rate" settings
select a fixed-rate slide, while the "time" settings select a
fixed-time slide.
[Range] off, =Pgm, rate (fingered), rate (fulltime), time
(fingered), time (fulltime)
• off ... No sample portamento.
• =Pgm ... The Program Portamento setting (page
91) takes priority.
• rate (fingered) ... Slides one note into the next
only if the first note (key) is still held when the
next note is struck. Slide is at a constant rate;
the time required to slide from the first note's
pitch to the next note's pitch increases as the
difference between the pitches increases.
• rate (fulltime) ... Pitch between consecutive notes
always slides, even if the first note is released
before the second note is struck. Again, pitch
slide occurs at a constant rate.
• time (fingered) ... Slides one note into the next
only if the first note (key) is still held when the
next note is struck. The slide time is always
the same; the slide rate increases as the dif-
ference between the pitches increases.
• time (fulltime) ... Pitch between consecutive notes
always slides, even if the first note is released
before the second note is struck. Again, the
slide time is always the same.
• Note that the "fingered" setting is effective only on
samples that are set for one-note-at-a-time replay
(samples whose Mono/Poly switch is set to mono;
page 127). Samples set to poly always receive "full-
time" portamento.
Knob 5
[ Turn] Sample Portamento Rate/Time
This value sets the pitch slide rate or slide time. The set-
ting determines the slide rate (if the mode is set to "rate")
or the slide time (if the mode is set to "time").
[Range] 1 — 127
• This parameter cannot be edited when the Sample
Portamento Mode is set to "=Pgm."
