PORTAMENTO TIME ............When the part is set to Mono (page 59, 90), this determines the Portamento time. The
higher the value, the longer the time it takes for the pitch to change. Portamento is only
applied when you play legato (playing the next note before releasing the previous one).
PITCH BEND RANGE ...........When the Pitch Bend or Glide effect is assigned to the pedal, this determines the range of
the pitch change in semitones.
OCTAVE................................Determines the range of the pitch change in octaves, over two octaves up or down.
TUNING...............................Determines the pitch of the instrument.
