Description
Global
The global glide mode setting: Por-
tamento, Glissando,
fi
ngered Porta-
mento,
fi
ngered Glissando.
Glissando is ‘quantized portamento’.
It’s as if you were sliding your
fi
nger
up a guitar neck, with discreet semi-
tone intervals being played as you
slide.
‘Fingered’ means it only glides when
legato notes are played (you play
a new note before lifting off the old
note).
PolyGlide Controls
Table 2:
There is also a new section that allows an exponential type
glide for each of the oscillator sections. This gilde rate can also
be modulated. Adjustment can be individually, or by group –
All A oscs, and all B oscs. There’s also a Enable/Disable button
for the individual glide (PolyGlide) function.
Filter Cutoff Tracking
(FcTrack)
Figure 43: Filter Cutoff Tracking Panel
This new section, Filter Cutoff Tracking, takes each
fi
lter’s Keytrack settings (which was previously dis-
played per
fi
lter in the Misc. section) and allows quick
and easy adjustment at a glance. The Keytrack Note is
the point around which the keytracking occurs, and is
global for all
fi
lters.
This signal is routed to all 4
fi
lters. The Note number is
the MIDI note number around which the key tracking
is centered. The Gradient is a percentage that controls
how steep the slope of the control value is across the
keyboard. 100% produces ‘even tempered pitch’ to the
fi
lters, especially useful when a
fi
lter is in full reso-
nance, and being used as a simple sine oscillator.
The Gradient parameter is now separate for each of
the 4
fi
lters. The Note value, however, must remain the
same for all four. The Gradient knobs changes with
each
fi
lter page as selected.
PolyGlide
(Glide)
New: Independent Exponential Glide
Figure 42: PolyGlide Panel
Independent exponential glide on a per oscillator basis
has been added to v5.0. The previous Glide function
(which is linear) is now the Global Glide Mode set-
tings. The individual oscillator glides settings (called
PolyGlide) have the following parameters:
Control
Description
PolyGlide On/
Off
Enables/disables the entire
PolyGlide section for typical pre-
version 5.0 operation
GlideMod
Allows you to select from a vari-
ety of modulation sources that will
affect the glide timing values for
all PolyGlide settings. There is a bi-
polar Mod Amount control.
Individual
oscillator set-
tings
The glide amount for each oscilla-
tor is controlled by the associated
knob, i.e. MM 1 is the MultiMode Osc
1, and so on. Unfortunately, there
wasn’t room to add a value display
for each knob, but the basic range
is from a few milliseconds to about 4
seconds.
All 1/All 2
Sometimes you may want to quickly
adjust all of the same members of
the oscillator pairs, without having to
change each individual knob. There
is an Enable button for this feature at
the top of the section. Once enabled,
the All 1 or All 2 knob values are
applied to all of the
fi
rst or second
members of the oscillator pairs.
