PORTAMENTO TIME ............When the part is set to Mono (page 58, 88), this determines the Portamento time. The
higher the value, the longer the time it takes for the pitch to change. Portamento is only
applied when you play legato (playing the next note before releasing the previous one).
PITCH BEND RANGE ...........Determines the range of the PITCH BEND wheel for the corresponding part. The range is
from “0” to ”12” with each step corresponding to one semitone.
OCTAVE................................Determines the range of the pitch change in octaves, over two octaves up or down. The
value of this parameter is added to the value set via the [UPPER OCTAVE] button.
TUNING...............................Determines the pitch of the instrument.
