KEY ASSIGN

PORTAMENTO

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 parameter is monophonic,
you can simulate slide performance techniques on a violin or
similar instrument.

VeloSens

-63–
+63

Keyboard playing dynamics can be used
to control the volume of the patch. If you
want the volume to have more effect for
strongly played notes, set this parameter
to a positive (+) value. If you want the vol-
ume to have less effect for strongly played
notes, set this to a negative (-) value.

LevelMod-
Depth

-63–
+63

Adjusts the volume of the patch by the
controller assigned by

Controller

(p. 31).

Parameter

Value

Explanation

Pan

L64–
0–63R

Specifies the pan of the patch. “L64” is far
left, “0” is center, and “63R” is far right.

PanKF
(Pan Key
Follow)

-200–
+200

Use this parameter if you want key posi-
tion to affect panning. Positive (+) settings
will cause notes higher than C5 key (cen-
ter C) to be panned increasingly further to-
ward the right, and negative (-) settings
will cause notes higher than C5 key (cen-
ter C) to be panned toward the left. Larger
settings will produce greater change.

PanMod-
Depth

-63–
+63

Adjusts the pan of the patch by the con-
troller assigned by

Controller

(p. 31).

Parameter

Value

Explanation

Time

0–127

Specifies the attack time of the envelope
(the time from when you press a key until
the envelope level reaches the maximum
value).

VeloSens

-63–
+63

This allows keyboard dynamics to affect
the attack time of the envelope. If you
want attack time to be speeded up for
strongly played notes, set this parameter
to a positive (+) value. If you want it to be
slowed down, set this to a negative (-) val-
ue.

Parameter

Value

Explanation

Time

0–127

Specifies the release time of the envelope
(the time from when you release a key un-
til the envelope level reaches 0).

Parameter

Explanation

Mono/
Poly

MONO,
POLY

Specifies whether the patch will play
monophonically or polyphonically.
The monophonic setting is effective
when playing a solo instrument patch
such as sax or flute.

MONO

: Only the last-played note will

sound.

POLY

: Two or more notes can be

played simultaneously.

LegatoSw

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.

Parameter

Value

Explanation

PortaSw

OFF,
ON

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

Mode

NORMAL,
LEGATO

Specifies the performance conditions
for which portamento will be ap-
plied.

NORMAL

: Portamento will always

be applied.

LEGATO

: Portamento will be ap-

plied only when you play legato (i.e.,
when you press the next key before
releasing the previous key).

Type

RATE,
TIME

Specifies the type of portamento ef-
fect.

RATE

: The time it takes will depend

on the distance between the two
pitches.

TIME

: The time it takes will be con-

stant, regardless of how far apart in
pitch the notes are.
