Portamento 
Set the amount of “glide” between notes: 
 
off  

 

No portamento. 
 
legato only 

 

Portamento will occur only if you play a second key before lifting 
up the first key. 
 
always  
Portamento will occur even if there is no overlap between the 
lifting of one key and the playing of another. 
 
PortaType 
Set the type of portamento: 
 
fixed  
No matter how far apart the two keys are, it takes the same 
amount of time to travel between them. The PortaTime parameter 
determines this amount of time. 
 
scaled  
With this setting, the PortaTime parameter determines the amount 
of time it takes to glide a distance of one octave.  
 
gliss fixed 

 

Identical to fixed, but with the glide stepping chromatically (C, C#, 
D, D#, etc.) rather than smoothly. 
 
gliss scaled 

 

Identical to scaled, but with the glide stepping chromatically (C, C#, 
D, D#, etc.) rather than smoothly. 
 
PortaTime 
Set the base time for portamento to slide from note to note. 
 
Pitch Wheel 
When set to bend all notes, moving the pitch wheel will bend the 
pitch of all voices that are sounding, even if they are being 
sustained by the (sust pedal) or are in their release stage. 
 
When this parameter is set to bend held notes, only voices for which 
the keys are still depressed will allow their pitch to be bent by the 
pitch wheel.
