PORTAMENTO
TIME

Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the
first note played on the keyboard to the next. The Portamento Time deter-
mines the pitch transition time. Higher values result in a longer pitch
change time. Setting this to “0” results in no effect. This parameter is
available when the selected keyboard part is set to MONO (

page 16

).

[C]/[H]

PITCH BEND
RANGE

Determines the range of the [PITCH BEND] wheel for each keyboard
part. The range is from “0” to “12” with each step corresponding to one
semitone.

[D]/[I]

OCTAVE

Determines the range of the pitch change in octaves, over two octaves up
or down for each keyboard part. The value set here is added to the setting
made via the UPPER OCTAVE [-]/[+] buttons.

[E]/[J]

TUNING

Determines the pitch of each keyboard part in cents.

NOTE

In musical terms a “cent” is 1/100th of a semitone. (100 cents equal one semitone.)

TRANSPOSE

Allows you to set transposition for the overall sound of the instrument
(MASTER), Song playback (SONG), or the keyboard pitch (KBD),
respectively. Please note that the “KBD” setting also transposes the pitch
of Style playback and the Multi Pads (since these are also affected by key-
board play in the left-hand section).
