Portamento

Portamento is used to create a smooth transition in pitch from one note played on the keyboard
to the next one.

Selects monophonic or polyphonic.
Mono: The selected Voice is played back monophonically; only a
single note is played back simultaneously.
Poly: The selected Voice is played back polyphonically; multiple
notes or chords can be played back simultaneously.
For many instrument sounds (such as bass and synth lead), Mono allows
a more natural and smooth sounding legato performance than Poly.
Determines the playing method when the same notes are received
continuously in the same channel, and without a corresponding note off
message.
Single: If double playback of the same note is transmitted to the
internal tone generator, the first note will be stopped and then the next
note will be sounded.
Multi: When double playback of the same note is transmitted to the
internal tone generator, all the notes are sounded simultaneously.
Single is useful when two or more instances of the same note are received
nearly simultaneously, or without a corresponding note off message. To
allow playback of each instance of the same note, set this to Multi.
Determines whether Portamento is applied to the current Voice or not.
Determines the pitch transition time or rate when Portamento is applied.
Higher values result in a longer pitch change time.
The effect of the parameter depends on the settings of Portamento Time
Mode.
Determines how Portamento is applied to your keyboard performance.
Fingered: Portamento is only applied when you play legato (playing
the next note before releasing the previous one).
Fulltime: Portamento is applied to all notes.
Determines how the pitch changes in time.
: Pitch changes at the specified rate.
Rate1
Time1: Pitch changes in the specified time.
Rate2: Pitch changes at the specified rate within an octave.
Time2: Pitch changes in the specified time within an octave.
Adjusts the attack of the Voice for Mono legato playing.
When the parameter Mono/Poly is set to Mono, legato playing may
produce an unnatural attack depending on the waveform assigned to the
selected Voice. To solve such a problem, you can use this parameter to
adjust the attack of the Voice.
Normally, this should be set to a low value for waveforms with short attack
times, and to a high value for waveforms with long attack times.
