Portamento will be applied only when you play legato.
Portamento Type RATE, TIME

Parameter
Value Explanation
Mono/Poly
MONO, POLY
MONO:
Only the last-played note will sound. This setting is effective when playing a solo instrument patch
such as sax or flute.
POLY:
Two or more notes can be played simultaneously.
Legato Switch OFF, ON
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 is effective when you wish to simulate the hammering-
on and pulling-off techniques used by a guitarist.
* Legato Switch is valid when the Mono/Poly parameter is set to “MONO.”
Legato Retrigger
OFF, ON
OFF:
When one key is held down and another key is then pressed, only the pitch changes, without the attack
of the latter key being played. Set this to “OFF” when performing wind and string phrases or when using mod-
ulation with the mono synth keyboard sound.
ON:
Normally you will leave this parameter “ON.”
* Legato Retrigger is valid when the Mono/Poly is set to “MONO” and the Legato Switch is set to “ON.”
Pitch Bend Range Up 0– +48 Degree of pitch change in semitones when the Pitch Bend lever is all the way right
Pitch Bend Range Down -48–0 Degree of pitch change in semitones when the Pitch Bend lever is all the way left
