When Slope is
0
, playing different notes on the keyboard won’t change the pitch at all; it will be as if you’re always
playing C4.

Pitch
Note on Keyboard
Pitch Mod
LFO Intensity
[–144.00…+144.00]
This controls the initial effect of the Pitch LFO on the pitch, in semitones.
Envelope
[–144.00…+144.00]
This controls the initial effect of the Pitch Envelope, in semitones, before any modulation (such as from Velocity,
below).
The Pitch Envelope Sustain Level can be either positive or negative, so the envelope can create negative values.
Vel->Env
[-144.00…+144.00]
This lets you use velocity to scale the amount of the Pitch Envelope applied to pitch, in semitones.
Portamento
Portamento
[Off, On]
Portamento lets the pitch glide smoothly between notes, instead of changing abruptly.
On:
Turns on Portamento, so that pitch glides smoothly between notes.
Off:
Turns off Portamento. This is the default.
Fingered
[Off, On]
Fingered applies only when Portamento is
On
.
On:
Playing legato will turn on Portamento, and playing detached will turn it off again.
Off:
Legato/detached playing will not affect Portamento.
Type
[Constant Rate, Constant Time]
Constant Rate
: Portamento will always take the same amount of time to glide a given distance in pitch—for instance,
one second per octave. Put another way, gliding several octaves will take much longer than gliding a half-step.
Constant Time
: Portamento will always take the same amount of time to glide from one note to another, regardless of
the difference in pitch. This is especially useful when playing chords, since it ensures that each note in the chord will
end its glide at the same time.
