Hold
When hold is on, any notes played will continue to play until hold is
turned off. When used in conjunction with the Arpeggiator, notes are
latched on and replaced by any new note(s) struck. If
hold is on and at
least one key continuously held down, any new notes played are added to
the arpeggio.
HOLD
The Hold button
Glide
Glide or portamento causes the pitch of a note to glide up or down from
the pitch of the previously played note. 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.
GLIDE
GLIDE RATE
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 xed. This is the default glide mode.
Fixed Rate A (FRA): The same as Fixed Rate, but glide is only applied
when playing legato. 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.
