EDIT PARTS MENU: PORTAMENTO
To select the EDIT PARTS menu can be also used the CURSOR to select and the ENTER button to enter.
1
Enter the EDIT PARTS menu pressing the PRESET button in the panel and then the
function button [F2]
2
Press the button PAGE NEXT on the panel to select the Page 2 control menu
navigation
This menu allows to play a selected part of a PRESET using the PORTAMENTO. The portamento is a tipical execution
mode common beetwen the acoustic instrument (i.e. violin, human voice, trombone) and it consist of a frequency
shift sliding, playing different notes.
3
Press the function button [F4] PORTAMENTO, the control menu appears on the screen
TIME/RATE This control affects the way that the SPEED setting is interpreted. Setting this parameter to TIME, the SPEED value
controls the actual amount of time it takes to slide from any note to any other note regardless of the “distance”
in pitch between the two. Thus the time taken to slide between any two notes will always be the same. Setting to
RATE, the SPEED value controls the amount of pitch change per second. This means that the time it takes to slide
from one note to another depends entirely on the “distance” it has to travel between the two. This means that the
time taken to slide between any two notes will be different depending on which notes are played.
SPEED
Adjust the time taken for the
pitch slide to occur.

Then Use the DIAL to modify the value. You can assign any of the sequencer track
from #1 to #32.
4
Move on the TRACK field using the RIGHT CURSOR to modify the track you want to
mute
The operation can be repeated selecting different programmable pads, in this way you can prepare
different buttons to realtime perform with the Song Player section.
The programmable pad set up can be stored in one of the internal MEMORIES or handled in
realtime using the LOCK function [F8]. Please refer to the relative section in the owner manual.
