4–4b: Portamento
Portamento lets the pitch glide smoothly between
notes, instead of changing abruptly.
Enable
On (checked): Turns on Portamento, so that pitch
glides smoothly between notes.
Off (unchecked): Turns off Portamento. This is the
default state.
Fingered
This parameter allows you to control Portamento
through your playing style. When it's enabled, playing
legato will turn on Portamento, and playing detached
will turn it off again.
This option is only available when Portamento Enable
is turned on.
On (checked): Turns on Fingered Portamento.
Off (unchecked): Turns off Fingered Portamento.
Mode
[Constant Rate, Constant Time]
Constant Rate means that Portamento will always take
the same amount of time to glide a given distance in
pitch - for instance, one second per octave. Put another
way, gliding several octaves will take much longer
than gliding a half-step.
Constant Time means that Portamento will always take
the same amount of time to glide from one note to
another, regardless of the difference in pitch. This is
especially useful when playing chords, since it ensures
that each note in the chord will end its glide at the
same time.
Time
This controls the portamento time. Higher values
mean longer times, for slower changes in pitch. When
Time is set to 0, the pitch will be reached instantly–just
as if Portamento Enable was turned Off.
AMS
This selects an AMS source to control the Portamento
Time. For a list of AMS sources, see "AMS (Alternate
Modulation Source) List" on page 967.
The modulation occurs only at note-on. This means
that you can change the time for the next pitch glide,
but you can't change any glides which are already in
progress.
Intensity
This controls the depth and direction of the
Portamento Time AMS modulation.
Assigning SW1 or SW2 to Portamento On/Off
You can use the two assignable switches, SW1 and
SW2, to turn portamento on and off.
To do so:
1. Go to Program page 1-8, Controller Setup.
2. Under Panel Switch Assign, set either SW1 or SW2
to Portamento SW (CC#65).

Program P4: OSC Pitch
Now, the selected switch will enable and disable
Portamento. It will also send the MIDI Portamento
controller, CC#65.
Even if you don't assign SW1/2 to Portamento, you
can still use MIDI Controller #65 to turn Portamento
on and off.
4–4c: LFO
LFO Select
[LFO 1, LFO 2, LFO 3, LFO 4,
This selects an LFO to modulate all oscillators
simultaneously. This shared modulation can be useful
for vibrato, among other things.
The LFO Intensity, JS+ Y Intensity, and AMS are all
summed together to produce the final amount of LFO
pitch modulation.
LFO Intensity
This controls the initial effect of the LFO on the pitch,
in semitones, before any JS+Y or AMS modulation.
Negative (–) settings will invert the phase of the LFO.
JS+Y Intensity
Moving the joystick "up" from the center detent
position, away from yourself, produces the JS+Y
controller. You can use this to scale the amount of the
LFO applied to the pitch. This parameter sets the
maximum amount of LFO modulation added by JS+Y,
in semitones.
As this value is increased, moving the joystick in the
+Y direction will cause the LFO to produce deeper
pitch modulation.
Negative (–) settings will invert the phase of the LFO.
You can also use this to reduce the initial amount of the
LFO, as set by LFO1 Intensity, above.
AMS
This selects an AMS modulation source to scale the
amount of the LFO applied to pitch.
For a list of AMS sources, see "AMS (Alternate
Modulation Source) List" on page 967.
Intensity
This controls the depth and direction of the LFO AMS
modulation, in semitones.
