MODE This parameter is used to select from among
three portamento actions:
NORMAL Each new voice that is played will have
Portamento. The portamento will glide from the
last note played by this voice to the new note.
LEGATO Voices played staccato will not glide. While
holding
the first voice of a program, subsequent
voices will glide, starting from the last key
pressed.
LEGATO2 Operates like NORMAL for each first voice of a
program. While holding the original note
(voice), subsequent notes will not glide.
CURVE This parameter allows you to select the slope
used to glide between notes. Refer to the
discussionand the graphs on the following
pages for a complete description of these slopes.
LINEAR standard linear slope
EXP 1 Exponential 1: less steep version of Exponential 2
EXP 2 Exponential 2: standard ln curve
EXP 3 Exponential 3: steeper verion of Exponential 2
LOG 1 Logarithmic 1: less steep version of Logarthmic 2
LOG 2 Logarithmic 2: standard e x curve
LOG 3 Logarithmic 3: steeper verion of Logarthmic 2
SCURV1 S-Curve 1: forward “S-Curve”, created by
merging
EXPO2 into LOG2
SCURV2 S-Curve 2: reverse progression of SCURVE1
ENABLE OFF, ON Enables portamento. The ON/OFF LED reflects
the status.
