Chapter 3 ES2 48
Set the ES2 glide time
The Glide parameter (also known as portamento) sets the time it takes for the pitch of one played
note to travel to the pitch of another played note.
Make portamento active
m Rotate the Glide knob.
Glide behavior is dependent on the chosen keyboard mode. See Set the ES2 keyboard mode.
•
If the keyboard mode is set to Poly or Mono, and Glide is set to a value other than 0,
portamento is active.
•
If Legato is chosen, and Glide is set to a value other than 0, you need to play legato (press a
new key while holding the old one) to activate portamento. If you don’t play in a legato style,
portamento won’t work. This behavior is also known as ngered portamento.
Set the ES2 pitch bend range
The Bend range elds determine the range for pitch bend modulation, typically performed with
your keyboard’s pitch bend wheel.
Set independent upward and downward bend ranges
m Drag in either eld to set a bend range.
Set an identical upward and downward bend range
1 Set the upward Bend range eld to Link mode.
This locks the upward and downward bend ranges, making them identical.
2 Set a downward Bend range value.
This is mirrored in the upward Bend range eld.
Note: A downward bend of 4 semitones results in a combined bend range of 8 semitones—9 if
you include the standard pitch, or “no bend” position.
