Portamento Rate

e Portamento Rate parameter determines how fast a note glides from the pitch of one

note to the pitch of the next played note. e value selected for this parameter determines

how many seconds a note takes to glide one semitone (half-step) toward the pitch of the

next played note. For example, at a setting of 12 keys/second the pitch would glide an octave

every second. Select a higher value for a faster pitch glide, or a lower value for a slower pitch

glide. e list of values is nonlinear; that is, the increments get larger as you scroll to higher

values.

Mono Sample XFade

When applying portamento to programs that use multiple samples (Acoustic Guitar, for

example), the Forte will play more than one sample root as the pitch glides from the starting

pitch to the ending pitch. is may cause a small click at each sample root transition. You

can eliminate clicks by setting the Mono Sample XFade parameter to On. When the Mono

Sample XFade parameter is set to On, the Forte performs a crossfade at each sample root

transition to eliminate clicks.
