On my Roland JV-1000 it's called 'Legato'... Other synths may have other
names for it, kind of like 'Glide' vs 'Portamento'... The 820 itself doesn't
do this however the 820 does have CV control of the 'Bypass', 'Up', 'Down'
or 'Up/Down'. I've gotten some really cool stuff out of the CV's with an
800-EG and 320-LFO... You may be able to acheive something similar with a
700 switching the 'Bypass' on/off when certain notes are played on a
keyboard... Damn, Now I wish I had a 700 to try this!!! Oh, the
possibilities!!!

Not sure what the exact terminology is but you'll often find that
portamento can be set up so:
You only hear the lag/portamento/glide effect when you depress a
second key while the initial key is also held down (in other words
you send a second trigger signal while the original gate is open)
You hear the effect no matter if the initial key is held down when
the second key is held down or not.
For example, in the first case, I could play C4, release the key, and
5 seconds later play C5 and I would not hear the effect.
In the second case, same scenario, I would hear the portamento effect.
Does the 820 provide both modes?
Thanks - hope that's clear.
