PLAY-PROGRAM
Knob 4
[ Turn] Program 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] rate (fingered), rate (fulltime), time (fingered),
time (fulltime)
• 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
(EDIT-MAP/OUT-Mix&Key) (page 127). Samples set
to poly always receive "fulltime" portamento.
Knob 5
[ Turn] Program 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").
