Portamento
is an effect which smoothly changes the pitch from the first-played key to the
next-played key. By applying portamento when the Mono/Poly is “MONO,” you can sim-
ulate slide performance techniques on a violin or similar instrument.

Specifies the performance conditions for which portamento will be applied.
NORMAL:
Portamento will always be applied.

Portamento will be applied only when you play legato (i.e., when you press
the next key before releasing the previous key).

PITCH, NOTE
When another key is pressed during a pitch change produced by portamento, a new pitch
change will begin. This setting specifies the pitch at which the change will begin.
