PLAY-PROGRAM Knob 4 [ Turn] Program Portamento Mode Turn either knob to select the mode. The "rate" settings select a fixed-rate slide, while the "time" settings select a fixed-time slide. [Range] rate (fingered), rate (fulltime), time (fingered), time (fulltime) • rate (fingered) ... Slides one note into the next only if the first note (key) is still held when the next note is struck. Slide is at a constant rate; the time required to slide from the first note's pitch to the next note's pitch increases as the difference between the pitches increases. • rate (fulltime) ... Pitch between consecutive notes always slides, even if the first note is released before the second note is struck. Again, pitch slide occurs at a constant rate. • time (fingered) ... Slides one note into the next only if the first note (key) is still held when the next note is struck. The slide time is always the same; the slide rate increases as the difference between the pitches increases. • time (fulltime) ... Pitch between consecutive notes always slides, even if the first note is released before the second note is struck. Again, the slide time is always the same. • Note that the "fingered" setting is effective only on samples that are set for one-note-at-a-time replay (samples whose Mono/Poly switch is set to mono (EDIT-MAP/OUT-Mix&Key) (page 127). Samples set to poly always receive "fulltime" portamento. Knob 5 [ Turn] Program Portamento Rate/Time This value sets the pitch slide rate or slide time. The setting determines the slide rate (if the mode is set to "rate") or the slide time (if the mode is set to "time"). [Range] 1 - 127 [ Press] QUICK...
