When Slope is 0, playing dierent notes on the keyboard won’t change the pitch at all; it will be as if you’re always
playing C4.

Pitch
Note on Keyboard
Pitch Mod
LFO Intensity
[–144.00…+144.00]
is controls the initial eect of the Pitch LFO on the pitch, in semitones.
Envelope
[–144.00…+144.00]
is controls the initial eect of the Pitch Envelope, in semitones, before any modulation (such as from Velocity,
below).
e Pitch Envelope Sustain Level can be either positive or negative, so the envelope can create negative values.
Vel->Env
[-144.00…+144.00]
is lets you use velocity to scale the amount of the Pitch Envelope applied to pitch, in semitones.
Portamento
Portamento
[O, On]
Portamento lets the pitch glide smoothly between notes, instead of changing abruptly.
On: Turns on Portamento, so that pitch glides smoothly between notes.
O: Turns o Portamento. is is the default.
Fingered
[O, On]
Fingered applies only when Portamento is On.
On: Playing legato will turn on Portamento, and playing detached will turn it o again.
O: Legato/detached playing will not aect Portamento.
Type
[Constant Rate, Constant Time]
Constant Rate: 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: Portamento will always take the same amount of time to glide from one note to another, regardless of
the dierence in pitch. is is especially useful when playing chords, since it ensures that each note in the chord will
end its glide at the same time.
