46 Glide
Sequential
Glide
Glide or
portamento
causes the pitch of a note to glide up or down from
the pitch of the previously played note on the triggered voice. Glide is
turned on and off using the
glide
switch, but the
glide
amount
must also
be set. If the
glide
button is on, but
glide
amount
is set to 0,
glide
has no
effect.
The Glide controls
There are four modes that determine how
glide
behaves.
Fixed Rate (
FR
):
The time to transition between notes varies with the
interval between the notes; the greater the interval, the longer the transi-
tion time. The glide rate is fixed. This is the default glide mode.
Fixed Rate A (
FRA
):
The same as Fixed Rate, but glide is only applied
when playing legato when Unison mode is on. That is, glide only occurs
when a note is held until the next note is played. This effectively allows
glide to be turned on and off from the keyboard.
Fixed Time (
FT
):
Glide is set to a fixed time, regardless of the interval
between notes.
Fixed Time A (
FTA
):
The same as Fixed Time, but glide only occurs
when playing legato.
To select a glide mode:
1. Press and hold the
glide
switch. The numeric display shows the
currently selected Glide mode.
2. To select a different mode, continue to hold down the
glide
switch then
press the
bank
/
decrement
and
tens
/
increment
switches to step through
the other choices.
3.
When finished, release the
glide
switch.
