STMODE
Start Mode
MODE This page determines where the portamento is
sliding from—its start point.
LSTKEY When a new note is played, it will “slide” from
the last key played.
OFFSET When a new note is played, it will slide from a
fixed number of semitones above or below the
note, as set by the OFFSET variable set by Soft
Knob 2.
CHORD Each voice slides from its previous value. For
example, whatever note Voice 8 last played,
that’s where it will slide from when called upon
again. The voice order is set in the
KBD MODE
section (Unison X, Poly, and Mono).
OLDEST Each voice slides from the oldest note that is
being held.
OFFSET -127 ··· + 127 Sets the number of notes above or below the
present note where the slide will start, when the
MODE is set to OFFSET . For example, a setting of
-12 will always start sliding from an octave
below the note played.
Portamento MOD Parameters
The Portamento Modulation parameters permit you to create a mod route to
modulate the
TIME parameter. Please note that, unlike most of the other MOD pages,
TIME is the only Portamento parameter that can be modulated.
