Re: [AN1x] Glissando/Portamento

2003-01-06 by Bruce Wahler

Hi Alan,

Portamento Time is MIDI CC#5 on the AN1x.  All you have to do is change the Foot Controller setting to CC#5, and you should be OK.  And the best (IMHO) foot pedal ever made is the Yamaha FC-7, which works perfectly with the AN1x!

Regards,

-BW
