Performance Functions and Effects
Portamento is an effect that smoothly changes the pitch from
one note to the next. Vibrato is an effect that uses an LFO (Low
Frequency Oscillator) to cyclically vary the pitch.
Here’s how the settings of the current Performance can be
saved in the Prelude as a new Performance.

3. Use [ ] [ ] to move the cursor, and turn the VALUE

Legato
Switch
OFF,
ON,
TONE
This setting specifies whether the
Legato Switch will be used (ON)
or not (OFF). Legato Switch is
valid when the Mono/Poly
parameter is set to “MONO.”
With the Legato Switch “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.
When “TONE” is selected, the
Tone’s own settings take effect.
Portamento
Switch
OFF,
ON,
TONE
Specifies whether portamento
will be applied (ON) or not
(OFF). When “TONE” is
selected, the Tone’s own settings
take effect.
Portamento
Time
0–127,
TONE
Adjusts the speed at which the
pitch will change when
portamento is used. Higher
settings will lengthen the time over
which the pitch changes to the next
note. When “TONE” is selected,
the Tone’s own settings take effect.
Pitch Bend
Range
0–24,
TONE
Specifies the range of pitch
change that can be controlled
using the Pitch Bend controller.
When “TONE” is selected, the
Tone’s own settings take effect.
Hold Pedal
Switch
OFF, ON
Specifies whether the hold
pedal will apply to the Tone
(ON) or will not apply (OFF).
Control
Pedal
Switch
OFF, ON
Specifies whether the control
pedal will apply to the Tone (ON)
or will have no effect (OFF).
This is enabled when “Pedal
Assign” in “System settings” is set
to EXPRESSION, SOSTENUTO,
or SOFT (p. 45).
