Creating a Patch
Portamento Switch
Specifies whether the portamento effect will be applied (ON) or not
(OFF).
Value:
OFF, ON
Portamento Mode
Specifies the performance conditions for which portamento will be
applied.
Value
NORMAL:
Portamento will always be applied.
LEGATO:
Portamento will be applied only when you play legato
(i.e., when you press the next key before releasing the previous key).
Portamento Type
Specifies the type of portamento effect.
Value
RATE:
The time it takes will depend on the distance between the
two pitches.
TIME:
The time it takes will be constant, regardless of how far apart
in pitch the notes are.
Portamento Start
When another key is pressed during a pitch change produced by
portamento, a new pitch change will begin. This setting specifies the
pitch at which the change will begin.
Value
PITCH:
Starts a new portamento when another key is pressed while
the pitch is changing.

NOTE:
Portamento will begin anew from the pitch where the current
change would end.
fig.Potra-2.e
Portamento Time
When portamento is used, this specifies the time over which the
pitch will change. Higher settings will cause the pitch change to the
next note to take more time.
Value:
0–127
Let's say you have the Legato Switch set to “ON,” and the
Legato Retrigger set to “OFF.” When you try to sound a legato
(by pressing a higher key while a lower key is held down), the
pitch may sometimes not be able to rise all the way to the
intended pitch (stopping instead at an intermediate pitch). This
can occur because the limit of pitch rise, as determined at the
wave level, has been exceeded. Additionally, if differing upper
pitch limits are used for the waves of a Patch that uses multiple
tones, it may stop being heard in MONO. When making large
pitch changes, set the Legato Retrigger to “ON.”
Portamento
Portamento is an effect which smoothly changes the pitch from
the first-played key to the next-played key. By applying
portamento when the Mono/Poly parameter is “MONO,” you
can simulate slide performance techniques on a violin or similar
instrument.
