The Parameters

PORTAMENTO Determines the 
amount of time it takes for the 
pitch to glide from the current 
note to the next note played. POR-
TAMENTO is a significant feature 
of KEY MODE (see paragraph 
above); the two are closely related.

BEND UP Determines the interval 
of the bend when the Pitch Bender 
is moved upwards to the full 
extent of its range. Control range: -
64 semitones to +63 semitones.

BEND DOWN Determines the 
interval of the bend when the 
Pitch Bender is moved downwards 
to the full extent of its range. Con-
trol range: -64 semitones to +63 
semitones.

BEND SCALE Determines the shape 
of the curve which in turn deter-
mines the effect of the Pitch Bend 
data. You can chose from:

 LIN    Starting from the 0 value, 

(center position) the pitch bend is 
linear.  In other words, when you 
bend the pitch up to exactly half 
the distance of the pitch bend’s full 
range, the interval you hear is 
equivalent to exactly half of the 
value you set for BEND UP (see 
paragraph above).

 EXP    Starting from the 0 value 

(center position) the pitch bend is 
exponential - at first the bend is 
gradual and as you move further 
away from the center position, the
