E-60/E-50 Music Workstation
Instead of jumping in semitone steps (as you would
expect), the pitch glides from one note to the next
whenever the Portamento time is higher than “0”.
The higher the value you set, the slower the glide.
This effect is particularly useful for synthesizer
sounds.
(3) Press the [PORTAMENTO¥TIME] field of the Upper1
(UP1) or Upper2 (UP2) part to select it.
(4) Set the desired value with the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial or
the [DEC]/[INC] buttons.
Portamento Mode: Mono/Poly
The E-60/E-50 also allows you to set the Upper1 and
Upper2 parts to mono(phonic) mode. MONO means
that you can only play one note at a time. You could
select this mode to play a trumpet or woodwind part in
a more natural way. POLY, on the other hand, means
that you can play chords using the selected part.
(5) Press the [MONO] or [POLY] field of the Upper part
whose setting you want to change.
(6) Press the [EXIT] button to return to the main page.
Lower Hold
The E-60/E-50 is an instrument that allows you to
change many settings in realtime. Because you can
trigger the LWR part and the Arranger simultaneously,
selecting another Music Style pattern usually means
that you have to lift your left hand from the keyboard.
If the LOWER HOLD function is not active in ARR mode,
the LWR part stops sounding as soon as you release all
keys in the left area.
If you press the [LOWER¥HOLD] field, however, the
notes of that Lower part go on sounding until you play
other notes in the left keyboard area.
Note: The LOWER HOLD functions are only available in SPLIT
mode.
(1) Press the [MENU] button.
The display changes to:
(2) Press the [SPLIT&TOUCH] field, followed by the
[KEYBOARD¥OPTIONS] field.
(3) Switch on the LWR part (its PART ON/OFF button
must light).
(4) Press the [LOWER¥HOLD] field to switch it on.
(5) Play a short note in the left half of the keyboard
and release the key.
This note goes on sounding until you press another
note or chord in the left half of the keyboard.
Note: This setting can also be switched on and off with an
optional footswitch (see p. 56).
(6) Press the [EXIT] button to return to the main page.
