Portamento Time
Type
Determines how the actual pitch transition time is calculated from the Portamento Time value.
Fixed Rate: Makes the pitch change rate to 0: max., 127: min. The actual pitch transition time
varies according to the interval between the two notes.
Fixed Time: Makes the actual pitch transition time to 0: min., 127: max. The pitch change rate
varies according to the interval between the two notes.
NOTE
• The basic rule of Portamento Time is unchanged even if this setting is changed. When the value of Por-
tamento Time is smaller, the actual time is shorter; when the value is larger, the actual time is longer.
• The greater the value of Portamento Time, the clearer the effect of this setting will be.
Fast Playing
Portamento
Time
Threshold
When the time between one note and the next is shorter than this Time
Threshold, the Portamento Time parameter below is used instead of the orig-
inal Portamento Time. This helps you play fast passages like trills or glis-
sando with a specialized Portamento Time for the purpose.
Portamento
Time
Determines the Portamento Time for when the time between one note and
the next is shorter than the Time Threshold parameter (above).
NOTE
The Portamento Time is not affected by the following.
• Intervals between a note and the next note
• Portamento Time
• Portamento Time Type
• Velocity to Portamento Time
• Min. Portamento Time
Velocity to
Portamento Time
Velocity
Sensitivity
Adjusts the Portamento Time by velocity. With a positive value, the Porta-
mento Time gets shorter/longer when a velocity is greater/less than the Ref-
erence Velocity below. With a negative value, the behavior is the opposite.
When the value is “0,” the Portamento Time is fixed.
Reference
Velocity
This is the base value against which the Portamento Time is changed. When
a played velocity is equal to the value set here, the original Portamento Time
is maintained. The greater the difference between the played velocity and the
Reference Velocity, the greater the altered Portamento Time becomes.
Min. Portamento
Time
Even if the Portamento Time is set to “0,” the Portamento Time never becomes shorter than the
Time set here, except while the Fast Playing Portamento is working.
Filter Brightness Determines the cutoff frequency or effective frequency range of the filter (see diagram).
Higher values result in a brighter sound.
