9. PATTERNS AND SOUNDS
29
A higher setting decreases the modulation level more and more the higher you play the [KEYBOARD].
A lower level of modulation decreases the complexity of the tone in the higher frequencies, which is a
typical behavior in many acoustic instruments.
9.5.2 KEY SCALING B1
Same as KEY SCALING A, but for operator B1
9.5.3 KEY SCALING B2
Same as KEY SCALING A, but for operator B2
9.5.4 FILTER KEYTRACK
Keytrack lets the Multimode filter cuto frequency follow the pitch of the Sound. A setting of 100 makes
the filter track the oscillator frequency in note intervals. (0–100)
9.5.5 PORTAMENTO
Here you find settings related to the portamento. Press [FUNC] + [HOLD] to toggle the portamento on/
o. The <PORTAMENTO> LED indicates the portamento’s on/o status. For more information, please
see “11.2 TRIG PARAMETERS PAGE” on page 45.
• TYPE
TRACK. When you play notes, the pitch glides from the pitch of the last note played to the next new
note played on the track.
VOICE When you play notes, the pitch glides from the pitch of the last note played by a specific
voice to the pitch of the next new note played by the same voice.
LEGATO ONLY When you play notes, the pitch glides from the pitch of the last note played and
held (the last key pressed down and not yet released) to the pitch of the next new note played on
the track.
• SLOPE
CONSTANT RATE. The pitch glides linearly at a constant rate. Longer glides take longer time to
complete.
CONSTANT TIME The pitch glides linearly, but the glide is completed in a specific time, regardless
of the interval between the start and end notes. Glides over wider note intervals, therefore, have a
higher rate.
• AMOUNT
This setting enables partial glides where just the final part of the interval is included in the glide. For
example, a setting of 100 gives a full glide from start to finish. Lower values start the glide closer to
the goal pitch. With polyphonic portamento on chords, this can result in a shorter and less messy
glide.
• TYPE
GLIDE Ordinary continuous portamento.
GLISSANDO Quantizes the portamento to semitones.
• GATING
OFF The glide continues after the key is released.
ON The glide stops when the key is released.
9.5.6 VELOCITY TO VOL
Selects how velocity aects volume when playing the Sound from the [KEYBOARD] or a MIDI keyboard.
OFF means velocity does not aect the volume of the Sound.
LOG applies a logarithmic velocity curve. The volume dierence are greater between softer keyboard
presses than between harder.
LIN applies a linear velocity curve. The volume dierence between keyboard presses corresponds
linearly to the force applied.
EXP applies an exponential velocity curve. The volume dierence are greater between harder key-
board presses than between softer.
9.5.7 PITCH BEND DEPTH
Sets how much the PITCH WHEEL or pitch bend data from external MIDI devices, aects the Digitone
Keys.
