Smoothly Changing the Pitch
(Portamento)

Portamento is a function that causes the pitch to change
smoothly from one note to the next note played.

The Portamento Time setting determines the time for the
change in pitch when the portamento effect is applied to the
sound. Higher settings will cause the pitch change to the next
note to take more time.

Changing the Pitch
(Coarse Tune/Fine Tune)

This makes settings related to the pitch of each Part.

1 cent = 1/100 semitone

Turning Each Controller On and Off

These settings determine whether the external MIDI device is
controlled (ON), or not (OFF) by the pedals connected to
each PEDAL jack, the [CONTROL] knobs, the Modulation
lever, and the Bender.

Setting the Change in Volume
According to the Force Used to
Play the Keyboard (Velocity)

Set the change in volume that occurs in response to the force
used to play the keyboard (velocity) and the maximum value
of the change.

NOTE

This setting is disregarded with certain tones.

Description

SNS
(Velocity Sens)

-63–+63

This setting determines how
the volume changes in re-
sponse to the velocity. The
volume is increased as the
keyboard is played with
greater force when a positive
Value is used; when a nega-
tive value is selected, the vol-
ume decreases as the keys are
played with greater force. If
this is set to “0,” the volume
will not be affected by the
strength of your playing on
the keyboard.

MAX
(Velocity Max)

1–127

This is the maximum value
for the change in volume oc-
curring in response to the ve-
locity. Lowering this value
will produce softer notes
even if you play the key-
board strongly.
