Set the ES2 glide time

The Glide parameter (also known as portamento) sets the time it takes for the pitch of one played note to travel to the pitch of another played note.

Make portamento active

Rotate the Glide knob.
Glide behavior is dependent on the chosen keyboard mode. See Set the ES2 keyboard mode.
- If the keyboard mode is set to Poly or Mono, and Glide is set to a value other than 0, portamento is active.
- If Legato is chosen, and Glide is set to a value other than 0, you need to play legato (press a new key while holding the old one) to activate portamento. If you don’t play in a legato style, portamento won’t work. This behavior is also known as fingered portamento.
