Port (Portamento)

Settings related to the Portamento effect of each part.
The following three parameters are available.

Port Sw (Portamento Switch)

Turns the portamento”on” and “off.” Portamento
creates a smooth glide in pitch from one note to the
next.

Settings: off, on

Port Time (Portamento Time)

Sets the time of the pitch glide between successively
played notes. Higher settings result in a longer
(slower) glide.

Settings: 0~127

Port Mode (Portamento Mode)

Selects the Portamento mode. The way the
Portamento moves will differ depending on whether
the Mono or Poly setting (page 165) in the MIX
screen is selected.

Settings: fngr (fingered), full

When “Mono” is selected in the Mix menu:
fngr (fingered):
Fingered portamento is applied only
when you play legato (playing a note before releasing the
previous one).

When “Poly” is selected in the Mix menu:
Same as for the mono (monophonic) mode except that
portamento is applied to multiple notes.

[F7]: CTRL (Controllers)

A variety of control functions can be assigned
beforehand to a controller such as the CONTROL
Knobs on the front panel or the keyboard. For example,
aftertouch of the keyboard can be assigned to control
vibrato or the [MODULATION] wheel can be assigned
to apply resonance. The control functions can be
assigned to affect a specific element in a voice for each
part. The assignment of controls to a voice is called
voice control, and a maximum of 16 different types of
voice controls can be assigned to one voice.

Excluding the master keyboard settings, the voice control
settings made here are the same as those explained in SET
(Controller Set) menu in Voice Edit (see page 104). Only
the content sections that differ from the SET will be
