Mono Portamento Time Type Determines how an actual pitch transition time is calculated from the Portamento Time value. • Fixed Rate: Make 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: Make 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 Portamento 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. Panel Sustain Kbd Harmony/ Arpeggio Determines the sustain level applied to the edited Voice when the [SUSTAIN] button on the panel is turned on. Basically the same as in the display called up via [MENU]  [Kbd Harmony/Arp], except that (Setting) is located at a different position. Refer to the Owner's Manual and "Making Detailed Settings for Harmony/Arpeggio" on page 44. Controller Modulation (+), Modulation (-) The joystick can be used to modulate the parameters below as well as the pitch (vibrato). Here, you can set the degree to which the joystick modulates each of the following parameters. Filter Determines the degree to which the joystick modulates the Filter Cutoff Frequency. For details about the filter, see below. Amplitude Determines the degree to which the joystick modulates the amplitude (volume). LFO Pitch Determines the degree to which the joystick modulates the pitch, or the vibrato effect. LFO Filter Determines the degree to which the joystick modulates the Filter modulation, or the wah effect. LFO Amplitude Determines the degree to which the joystick modulates the amplitude, or the tremolo effect. Sound Filter Filter is a processor that changes the timbre or tone of a sound by either blocking or passing a specific frequency range. The parameters below determine the overall timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting a certain frequency range. In addition to making the sound either brighter or mellower, Filter can be used to produce electronic, synthesizer-like effects. Cutoff Determines the cutoff frequency or effective frequency range of the filter (see diagram). Higher values result in a brighter sound. Volume Cutoff Frequency Resonance These frequencies are "passed" by the filter. Determines the emphasis given to the cutoff frequency (resonance), set in Cutoff above (see diagram). Higher values result in a more pronounced effect. Volume Cutoff range Frequency (pitch) Resonance Frequency (pitch) 48 PSR-SX900/SX700 Reference Manual
