Description

Keyboard
Mono/Poly

Mono
(Monophonic)

Only the last-played note will sound.
The monophonic setting is effective when playing a solo instrument patch
such as sax or flute.

Poly
(Polyphonic)

Two or more notes can be played simultaneously.

Legato (Legato Switch)

OFF, ON

Legato is valid when the Mono/Poly parameter is set to monophonic. This
setting specifies whether the Legato function will be used (ON) or not (OFF).

With the Legato Switch parameter “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 creates a smooth
transition between notes, which is effective when you wish to simulate the
hammering-on and pulling-off techniques used by a guitarist.

Portamento
Portamento
(Portamento Switch)

OFF, ON

Specifies whether the portamento effect will be applied (ON) or not (OFF).

Mode
(Portamento Mode)

NORMAL

Portamento will always be applied.

LEGATO

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

Type (Portamento Type)

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.

Time (Portamento Time)

0–127

When portamento is used, this specifies the time over which the pitch will
change. Higher settings will cause the pitch change to the next note to take
more time.

Time Velo Sens
(Portamento Time Velocity Sensi-
tivity)

-63– +63

This allows keyboard dynamics to affect the portamento Time. If you want
portamento Time to be speeded up for strongly played notes, set this param-
eter to a positive (+) value. If you want it to be slowed down, set this to a
negative (-) value.
