Portamento (mode, time)
Note:
After pressing (FUNCTION), press the
below “Port” in the display.
Portamento is a smooth change from the pitch of one
note to the pitch of the next played note. The portamento
effect is determined by the portamento mode and the
portamento time.
Press the below “ >EXIT” in the display to
return to the previous display.’
(1) Portamento mode
Function
Select the portamento mode.
Settings
Full Time Porta, Fingerd Porta
Explanation
When poly/mono mode is set to “poly”, you will be
able to select only “Full Time Porta”. When “mono”
mode has been selected, you will be able to select either
“Full Time Porta” or “Fingered Porta”
Full Time Porta
Portamento will always apply.
Fingered Porta
Portamento will apply only when you play legato
(press the next note before releasing the previous
note).
(2) Portamento time
Function
Set the time of the portamento effect.
Settings
0 – 99
Explanation
This sets the time required for the pitch to move to
the pitch of the next played key. A portamento time
setting of 0 results in instant pitch change, i.e. no
portamento. Higher settings of portamento time result
in more gradual pitch change.
When you don’t want to use portamento, set the
portamento time to 0. If a foot switch is connected
to the rear panel FS jack, and if the foot switch is
set to “por” (portamento), portamento will apply only
while the foot switch is pressed.
Foot controller (volume, pitch, amplitude)
After pressing (FUNCTION), press the
below “FC” in the display.
An optional foot controller (FC7, FC9, etc.) can be
connected to the rear panel FC jack, and used to modify
the depth of vibrato, tremolo, wah, etc., or adjust volume
or tone while playing.
Press the below “ > EXIT” in the display to
return to the previous display.
(1) Volume
Function
Set the amount of volume regulated by the foot
controller.
Setting
0 – 99
Explanation
This allows you to regulate volume using the foot
controller. As you advance the foot controller, the
volume will increase. When the setting is 0, the foot
controller will have no effect, and when the setting
is 99, it will have maximum effect.
Note:
If a foot controller is not connected, the result will
be the same as when the foot controller is fully de-
pressed.
If you do not want to control volume using the
foot controller, set this to 0.
When a foot controller is connected to the rear
panel VOLUME jack, in single play mode it will act
as a volume pedal to adjust master volume inde-
pendently of this setting. In performance play mode
it will act as a volume pedal only for the instruments
whose receive channel matches the transmit channel.
