Modulation
The [MODULATION] wheel can be used to modulate the parameters below as well as the pitch (vibrato),
the filter (wah), or the amplitude (tremolo). Here, you can set the degree to which the [MODULATION]
wheel modulates each of the following parameters.
NOTE
LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) is a device which periodically varies (oscillates) a signal by using a low frequency wave. For example, a vibrato effect can
be produced by applying LFO to the pitch, a wah effect can be produced by applying it to the filter, and a tremolo effect can be produced by applying it to
the volume of a Voice.

Portamento Type
Determines how the actual pitch transition time is calculated from the Portamento
Time value.
Fixed Rate:
Determines the pitch change rate from a range of 0: max., 127: min.
The actual pitch transition time varies according to the interval between the
two notes.
