Use this page to set the portamento mode and portamento rate or time for the selected
program. Portamento refers to the “sliding” of one pitch into the next during replay.
The settings here determine how each played note slides into the next played note.
Important
These settings apply only to samples for which portamento is switched on. They have no
effect on samples whose Porta parameter is set to off. (☞174)
Knob 1 Change Page Select P/S
• Turn the knob to change to a different page within the SETUP function. Available
pages are: PgmMstr, Portmnt (this page), ADSetup, and ADOut.
• Push the knob to move to the Program/Sample Selection screen. (☞95)
Knobs 2, 3
Mode(mono) = rate(fingered), rate(fulltime),
time(fingered), time(fulltime)
• Turn either knob to select the mode.
• The “rate” settings select a fixed-rate slide, while the “time” settings select a fixed-
time slide.
• If you select a “fingered” portamento, the A3000 applies a slide between two consecu-
tive notes only if the first note is still being held when the second note is played. If
you select a “fulltime” portamento, the A3000 applies a slide between all consecu-
tively played notes, even if the first note is released before the next note is played.
• Note that the “fingered” setting is effective only on samples that are set for one-note-
at-a-time replay (samples whose Mono/Poly switch is set to mono; ☞174). Samples
set to poly always receive “fulltime” portamento.
rate(fingered) Slides one note into the next only if the first note (key) is still
held when the next note is struck. Slide is at a constant rate; the
time required to slide from the first note’s pitch to the next note’s
pitch increases as the difference between the pitches increases.
rate(fulltime) Pitch between consecutive notes always slides, even if the first
note is released before the second note is struck. Again, pitch
slide occurs at a constant rate.
