Glide
Glide continuously changes the pitch from one note to the next, connecting
the notes and letting you smoothly glide from one to the other. This is
usually utilized in Mono mode (Voices Limit being set to Mono, see pg 75).
The Glide Mode has 4 values:
– Off: no Glide is applied
– On: Glide is applied, that is the pitch will glide to the new note,
even when there is a pause between the previous and current
note.
– Held: Only if notes overlap Glide is applied, however if they don't
then the notes are played without Glide. This makes it possible to
apply Glide only to selected notes by at least slightly overlapping
them.
– Bend: This mode allows you to apply a predetermined pitch bend to
each note. The bend range is set using the Range control below
the Mode button. A bend range of -48 to +48 semitones is
available. This is sometimes called Auto-Bend (and is actually no
Glide / Portamento at all).
When Glide is on, the Time/Rate dial is used to set the length of time it
takes for the first note to reach that of the second note. The Time/Rate
switch below this dial has two settings: Time and Rate. They determine the
manner in which the pitch of one note moves to that of the next note:
Time When set to Time, it takes a constant amount of time to move from
one note to the next. In this case it will take the same amount of time to
reach the destination pitch regardless of whether the preceding notes are a
semitone apart or an octave apart. This parameter can be modulated using
