Portamento Mode

This function sets the number of notes that will be affected by portamento. For
example, if the Portamento Mode is set to two keys and a three-note chord is
played, only two of the notes will glide. Notes will glide from the previous note
or notes played. By setting the number of keys to match the number of notes in
your chords, smooth glides between those chords can be accomplished without
having notes glide in from random starting points. The number of keys can be
set from mono to 5 note polyphonic.

Crossfade Mode

This function determines which of the following crossfade modes will be selected:
Off, Crossfad e, or Cross-Switch.
Off
When "Off" is selected, crossfade is disabled.
Crossfade
When "X-Fade" is selected, a control input is used to fade between the
primary and secondary instruments. Any modulation source may be used
as an input (velocity, wheel, etc.).
Cross-Switch
When "X-Switch" is selected, the secondary layer is selected if the input
crosses a certain threshold or if a footswitch controlling cross-switch is
activated. The switch occurs only at the start of the note; no further
switching takes place while the key is held down. If key position or velocity
is routed to cross-switch, the threshold is the switch point. Realtime
controllers do not have any effect when routed to cross-switch.
