Section 15 — Sampled Sound Parameters TS-10 Musician’s Manual
22
GLIDEMODE Range: various (see below)
Enables Glide (portamento) and several forms of monophonic voice assignment in each layer.
There are five GLIDE modes available:
For monophonic voice assignment without glide, set GLIDEMODE to LEGATO, TRIGGER, or
MINIMODE, and set TIME=0.
• NONE — Glide is off. This is normal polyphonic operation, with no portamento.
• LEGATO — Enables monophonic voice assignment, allowing only one note of polyphony to
be active in the layer. If a key is depressed before another is released (i.e.: if you play legato),
the voice will glide from the old note to the new one. If you play a key with no other keys
down (i.e.: if you play staccato), the voice will not glide. The envelopes and WaveSamples are
retriggered, or restarted, from the beginning each time there is a new key down. This is also
the mode to use to enable the legato layer function.
• PEDAL — Enables the sustain pedal to start polyphonic glide. In this mode, the glide and
polyphony are controlled by the sustain pedal. When the pedal is up, there is no glide and the
layer is fully polyphonic. When the sustain pedal is depressed, the glide is enabled, and the
polyphony is limited to the number of notes being sounded at the moment. For example, with
the pedal up play a three-note chord. Press the sustain pedal and lift your fingers off the keys
(the three notes will sustain). Now press another key: one of these sustaining notes will be
stolen and will glide to the new note. The envelopes and WaveSamples are retriggered, or
restarted, each time there is a new key down. Holding a key down will prevent the note from
being stolen. This allows controlled voice leading.
• TRIGGER — This mode plays monophonically, with the envelopes and WaveSamples
retriggering, or restarting, each time there is a new key down. This mode works just like
LEGATO mode, except that it has no “note memory”. It is ideal for adding monophonic piano
“thuds” to piano sounds.
• MINIMODE — This mode plays with one-voice polyphony, and new notes will glide from the
previous note if the previous note is still held. Unlike the LEGATO, PEDAL, or TRIGGER
modes, the envelopes and WaveSamples are only restarted from the beginning when you play
a key with no other keys down (i.e.: if you play staccato).
Note: LEGATO and MINIMODE feature “note memory.” If you release a key while still holding down
another key, the pitch will glide back to the note you are holding. Holding down the sustain
pedal will dynamically disable note memory.

TIME Range: 0 to 99
This parameter controls the time it takes for the pitch to slide smoothly (glide) from one note to
another. The higher the value, the longer the glide time. The TS-10 uses Constant-Time
Portamento. This means that it will take the same amount of time to glide between notes that are
close together (i.e. C4 to D4) as it will to glide between notes that are far apart (i.e. C4 to C7).
