[F4 (CTRL)]
Parameter Value Explanation
Portamento Switch OFF, ON Specifies whether the portamento effect will be applied (ON) or not (OFF).
Portamento Mode NORMAL, LEGATO NORMAL: Portamento will always be applied.
LEGATO: Portamento will be applied only when you play legato.
Portamento Type RATE, TIME RATE: The time it takes will depend on the distance between the two pitches.
TIME: The time it takes will be constant, regardless of how far apart in pitch the notes are.
Portamento Start PITCH, NOTE PITCH: Starts a new portamento when another key is pressed while the pitch is changing.
NOTE: Portamento will begin anew from the pitch where the current change would end.
Portamento Time 0–127 Specifies the time over which the pitch will change.
Parameter Value Explanation
Mono/Poly MONO, POLY MONO: Only the last-played note will sound. This setting is effective when playing a solo instru-
ment patch such as sax or flute.
POLY: Two or more notes can be played simultaneously.
Legato Switch OFF, ON ON: Pressing a key while continuing to press a previous key causes the note to change pitch to
the pitch of the most recently pressed key, sounding all the while. This is effective when you wish
to simulate the hammering-on and pulling-off techniques used by a guitarist.
* Legato Switch is valid when the Mono/Poly parameter is set to “MONO.”
Legato Retrigger OFF, ON OFF: When one key is held down and another key is then pressed, only the pitch changes, with-
out the attack of the latter key being played. Set this to “OFF” when performing wind and string
phrases or when using modulation with the mono synth keyboard sound.
ON: Normally you will leave this parameter “ON.”
* Legato Retrigger is valid when the Mono/Poly is set to “MONO” and the Legato Switch is set to “ON.”
Pitch Bend Range Up 0– +48 Degree of pitch change in semitones when the Pitch Bend lever is all the way right
Pitch Bend Range Down -48–0 Degree of pitch change in semitones when the Pitch Bend lever is all the way left
