PORTAMENTO
TIME
Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note
played on the keyboard to the next. The Portamento Time determines the pitch transi-
tion time. Higher values result in a longer pitch change time. Setting this to “0” results
in no effect. This parameter is available only when the selected keyboard part is set to
Mono.

PITCH BEND
RANGE
Determines the range of the PITCH BEND wheel for each keyboard part. The range is
from “0” to “12” with each step corresponding to one semitone.

OCTAVE
Determines the range of the pitch change in octaves, over two octaves up or down for
each keyboard part. The value set here is added to the setting made via the OCTAVE [-
]/[+] buttons.

TRANSPOSE
Allows you to set transposition for overall sound of the instrument (MASTER), Song
playback (SONG), or keyboard pitch (KBD), respectively. Please note that the “KBD”
setting also transposes the pitch of Style playback and the Multi Pads (since these are
also affected by keyboard play in the left-hand section).
In musical terms a “cent” is 1/100th of a semitone. (100 cents equal one semitone.)
