Low values will give a short glide time in the range of milliseconds thatgives a special character to the sound. High values will result in a long glide time up to severalseconds which can be useful for solo and effect sounds.Glide ModePortamento / Fingered Portamento / Glissando / Fingeres GlissDetermines the way the Glide effect works.•Portamento means that a continuous glide is performed on all new notes.•Fingered Portamento means that a continuous glide is performed only, when notes areplayed legato. Staccato played notes start on the exact pitch of their note.•Glissando makes the normal Glissando effect in the same manner by changing the pitch insemitones.•Fingered Gliss is similar to Glissando but generates a pitchchange only when notes areplayed coherent (legato).Glide / Activeoff / onEnables or disables the Glide effect.MixerIn the Mixer, you control the volumes of the oscillators, the noise generator and an external soundsource.
