Portamento
Portamento is used to create a smooth transition
in pitch from the first note played on the
keyboard to the next, and can be used in Voice or
Performance Mode. You can switch portamento
on/off using the PORTAMENTO [ON/OFF] key
on the front panel. When switched on, the
PORTAMENTO [ON/OFF] key LED will be lit.
You can use the [PORTAMENTO] knob to vary
the pitch transition time (Portamento Time).
Turn the knob clockwise to lengthen the time.
Before enabling portamento, specify how portamento
should work using parameters available in the
Portamento screen (Page 84).
If Portamento is switched on and ready for use, the
PORTAMENTO [ON/OFF] key LED will light when
you select the Voice.
In Performance Mode, you can apply portamento to
Voices of Parts that have their Layer Switch (Page
133) and Portamento switch set to “on” (Page 131).
Depending on the method of storage (Pages 116,
141), the portamento state (on/off) can be saved
with the Voice or Performance.
You can set the portamento state in the Portamento
screen (Pages 84, 131) in Voice or Performance Edit
Mode.
Pan
You can use the [PAN] knob on the front panel to
set the stereo position (pan) of the currently
selected Voice, Performance or Clip Kit. The Pan
parameter can be set in each Edit Mode, but the
front panel [PAN] knob lets you adjust this
parameter in real time in any of the Play Modes.
On the CS6R, this is set at the QED Level screen
(Page 81).
