BendRng (Bend Range)
Specifies the amount of pitch change in semitones (2 octaves)
that will occur when the Pitch Bend Lever is moved. The
amount of change when the lever is tilted is set to the same
value for both left and right sides.
Mno/Poly (Part Mono/Poly)
Set Mno/Pol to MONO when the GM Patch assigned to the
Part is to be played monophonically, or to MONO when the
GM Patch is to be played polyphonically.
For the Part to which the GM Rhythm Set is assigned,
this setting will be ignored.
Porta Sw:Time (Part Portamento Switch:Time)
Portamento makes a smooth pitch transition from one note to
the next note played. Also, when playing monophonically,
you can apply portamento to simulate the slide performance
technique sometimes used on instruments such as violin.
You can determine whether the Portamento effect will be
applied or not using Portamento switch (Sw). Turn this
parameter ON when you want to apply Portamento and OFF
when you don’t.
The Portamento Time (Time) setting adjusts the time over
which the pitch will change. Higher settings will cause the
pitch change to the next note to take more time.
For the Part to which the GM Rhythm Set is assigned,
this setting is ignored.

The displays allow you to check various settings such as
MIDI message reception status for each Part. This is
convenient when you need to check that the sound generator
is responding correctly to messages from the keyboard or
external MIDI controller.
For items other than Voices, you can modify the values.
When you do so, MIDI messages will be transmitted, and
they can be recorded by a sequencer or other device.
