 (VOICE mode only)

• Portamento Mode
• Settings: Full, Fngr

Portamento produces a “slide” effect between
subsequently played notes. The “Portamento
Mode” parameter determines how the portamento
slide is produced. When “Full” is selected the
portamento slide will occur between any two
subsequent notes when the “14(10): Porta Sw”
parameter, below, is “on” even if the first note is
released before the second is played. When
“Fngr”(Fingered) is selected the portamento slide
will only occur if the first note is still held when
the second note is played.
•

Portamento may not produce a perfectly smooth
slide with voices in which the driver character-
istics affect pitch (brass instruments, for
example).

• Portamento Switch
• Settings: off, on

Turns portamento “on” or “off”. When “on” the
portamento effect will produced as determined by
the “13: Porta Mode” and “15: Porta Time”
parameters.
•

This parameter also selects the “single-trigger”
or “multi-trigger” mode. Refer to “06(05):
Mono/Poly” on page 80.

• Portamento Time
• Settings: 000 … 127

The “Time” parameter sets the portamento time
(i.e. the length of the slide between notes). A
setting of “000” produces the fastest portamento
time; “127” produces the longest portamento slide
effect.

• Dry Output Level
• Settings: 000 … 127

Sets the output level of the VL70-m “dry” (i.e.
without effects) sound. The higher the value the
higher the dry output level. Increased dry levels
produce a relative reduction in the perceived
“depth” of any applied effects.
•

This parameter display will not appear when
the VARIATION EDIT mode “VarConnect”
parameter is set to “INS” (Insertion Effect).
