Part Parameters
46
1-3-3 Portamento
Portamento is used to create a smooth transition in pitch from one note played on the keyboard
to the next one.
Arp Play Only Determines whether or not the Part whose Arpeggio is set to On is played.
If this parameter is set to On, the Part is played with Arpeggio. If set to Off,
the Part makes no sound.
Element Pan Switch Switches an Element Pan selected by Element Edit ([EDIT] → Part
Selection → Element Selection → [Amplitude]→ [Level/Pan]) On or Off.
When set to “off,” the Pan setting by Element Edit is set as the center
position for the Pan.
Pitch Bend Range Upper
/ Pitch Bend Range
Lower
Determines the maximum Pitch Bend Range in semitones.
Examples:
Setting the Upper parameter to +12 results in a maximum pitch rise of one
octave when the Pitch Bend wheel is moved upwards.
Setting the Lower parameter to -12 results in the pitch being lowered up to
a maximum of one octave (12 semitones) when the Pitch Bend wheel is
moved downwards.
Micro Tuning Number Selects the Micro Tuning Number.
The Preset Bank provides several types including the most common:
Equal Temperament. See Section 1-3-4 Micro Tuning List.
Micro Tuning Root Sets the base note for each scale.
For some scales this setting may not be necessary.
Portamento Master
Switch
Determines whether Portamento is applied to all Parts or not.
Portamento Part Switch Determines whether Portamento is applied to each Part or not, when the
Portamento Master Switch is set to On.
Portamento Time Determines the pitch transition time or rate when Portamento is applied.
Higher values result in a longer pitch change time.
The effect of the parameter depends on the settings of the Portamento
Time Mode.
Portamento Mode Determines how Portamento is applied to your keyboard performance.
 Fingered: Portamento is only applied when you play legato (playing
the next note before releasing the previous one).
 Fulltime: Portamento is applied to all notes.
Portamento Time Mode Determines how the pitch changes in time.
Rate1: Pitch changes at the specified rate.
Time1: Pitch changes in the specified time.
Rate2: Pitch changes at the specified rate within an octave.
Time2: Pitch changes in the specified time within an octave.
Legato Slope Adjusts the attack of the Part for Mono legato playing.
When the parameter Mono/Poly is set to Mono, legato playing may
produce an unnatural attack depending on the waveform assigned to the
selected Part. To solve such a problem, you can use this parameter to
adjust the attack of the Part.
Normally, this should be set to a low value for waveforms with short attack
times, and to a high value for waveforms with long attack times.
