Menu: Program/Program/Pitch
Parameter: Pitch Bend Range
Value Range: 0 – 12 Semitones
Assign the pitch bend wheel’s range here. Values range from 0 (no pitch
bend) to 12 semitones.
Menu: Program/Program/Pitch
Parameter: Portamento Time
Value Range: 0 – 30 Sec
Portamento is when your instrument “glides” between notes (like a cello
for example) instead of abruptly jumping between them (like a piano).
This value sets the time it takes to glide between one note and another.
You can turn this function off by setting its value to 0.
Menu: Program/Program/Pitch
Parameter: Scaled
Value Range: On, Off
If you check this box, your “Portamento Time” setting (see above)
represents the time it takes to glide one octave. If you leave this box
unchecked, your “Portamento Time” parameter represents the time it
takes to glide from one note to another (regardless of distance between
each note).
Menu: Program/Program/Pitch
Parameter: Legato
Value Range: On, Off
If this parameter is set, portamento only occurs if when you play in
legato fashion (i.e., when you play a note before releasing the last note
played).
Menu: Program/Program/Pitch
Parameter: Continuous Pitch
Value Range: On, Off
If this parameter is set to “on,” the portamento pitch starts from where
the last portamento stopped. In other words, if you stop your
portamento in the middle of its glide, it will pick up wherever you left
off when you play your next note.
On the other hand, if this parameter is left off, the pitch will simply pick
up from the last note played.
