When set to RATE, the speed the effect takes depends on the interval. For example:
1 sec
2 secs
4 secs
8 secs
16 secs
When RATE is selected
In the PORT(amento) page, F1 and F2 act as cursor keys to move you about the three fields.
Use F1 and F2 to place the cursor on the field you want to adjust and use the DATA wheel to
set the value.
NOTES ON USING PORTAMENTO
The portamento effect can be used when playing polyphonically or monophonically.
When playing polyphonically, notes in a chord will slide up or down to the next chord
accordingly at a speed set by the RATE and TYPE parameter. If one note in a chord is held
when a new chord is played, it will not be affected.
When playing monophonically (i.e. with MONO LEGATO switched ON), the effect is just like
that found on an old analogue monosynth and many exciting synth sounds can be created
using the portamento function that fit in perfectly with the current fashion for using analogue
synths.
Of course, when playing monophonically, the effect can be applied equally as effectively to
samples of acoustic instruments and the effect can be switched in and out using the MIDI
PORTAMENTO pedal for expressive phrasing.
If the RATE parameter is set high but you play notes quickly, the portamento effect may be so
slow that your notes never hit the right pitches!
