PORTAMENTO/GLISSAIMDO
SECTION
-
Together,
four controls affect the transition between
successive
notes or
chords:
the
PORTAMENTO/
GLISSANDO
(P/G)
slider, the
P/G
FOOT
SWITCH
ASSIGNER,
the
P/G
SELECTOR SWITCH,
and
the
FOOT SWITCH.
Portamento is a
smooth,
continuous
glide
in
pitch
from
the
previously
played note or chord
to
the next Glissando is also a change in
pitch
from the
previously played
note
or
chord
to
the next, but
is a
stepped progression
rather than
a continuous
slide
. . .
like
playing
a
chromatic
1/2 step
scale from
one note
or chord
to
the
next.
A.
PORTAMENTO/GLISSANDO SLIDER (white)
Adjusts how
long
it takes to
move from one
note
to
the next
when
Portamento
or
Glissando
is ON.
Set
at
SHORT (up)
there
is
no
audible effect; at
LONG (down)
the
maximum effect is obtained.
With the lever at maximum LONG effect, it takes
about 10
seconds for the pitch
to
change from
the
lowest
to
the highest
note
on the keyboard
(about
2
seconds per octave).
B. P/G FOOT SWITCH ASSIGNER (black) When
switched
to
ON,
the
FOOT SWITCH controls
the
portamento or glissando
effect.
If
you
wish
to
activate the
P/G
effect with your hand, turn
off
this switch;
it then bypasses
the
FOOT
SWITCH
and introduces the amount and
type
of effect you set with the
P/G
SLIDER
and
SELECTOR SWITCH,
NOTE:
With the
FOOT SWITCH
unplugged, the
ASSIGNER switch does not function,
so
P/G
is
always ON. If
you
prefer
not
to
use
a
FOOT
SWITCH
and
you
want
to
switch
P/G ON
and
OFF,
do it by
moving
the
P/G SLIDER
up and down, or insert an
unwired
standard
phone
plug in the rear-panel
foot
switch jack
to
activate the
ASSIGNER switch.
C.
FOOT SWITCH PEDAL
Stepping
on
the
FOOT SWITCH PEDAL
turns
ON the P/G
effect
only
when the P/G FOOT
SWITCH
ASSIGNER
is
also
ON. The
amount
of
effect is set with
the
P/G
SLIDER.
However,
releasing
the
pedal
will
immediately
end
the gradual
transition
and
cause
the
pitch
to
jump
to
the
note BEING
played.
(This
FOOT SWITCH
PEDAL
may
also
be used
to
control
Sustain; see the previous
section,
paragraph
13 C.)
D.
P/G
SELECTOR SWITCH (black) With
the
switch
rocked back.
Portamento
will
be
activated
if
the
appropriate
P/G
controls are
also
ON. With
the switch
rocked forward,
Glissando
will be activated instead.
