*If a voice is already sounding for a note number identical to the Source Note Number, this voice will continue sounding (i.e., legato) and will, when the next Note- on is received, smoothly change to the pitch of that
*The rate of the pitch change caused by Portamento Control is determined by the Portamento Time value.

*NRPN can be received when Rx.NRPN = ON. "Rx.NRPN" is set to OFF by power- on reset or by receiving "Turn General MIDI System On," and it is set to ON by "GS RESET."
*The value set by NRPN will not be reset even if Program Change or Reset All Controllers is received.
**NRPN**
The NRPN (Non Registered Parameter Number) message allows an extended range of control changes to be used. On this unit, NRPN messages can be used to modify sound parameters etc.
To use these messages, you must first use NRPN messages (Controller number 98 and 99, their order does not matter) to specify the parameter to be controlled, and then use Data Entry messages to specify the value of the specified parameter. Once an NRPN parameter has been specified, all Data Entry messages received on that channel will modify the value of that parameter. To prevent accidents, it is recommended that you set RPN Null (RPN Number = 7FH/7FH) when you have finished setting the value of the desired parameter. Refer to Section 5. Supplementary material "Examples of actual MIDI messages" <Example 4> (page 207). On this unit, Data entry LSB (Controller number 38) of NRPN is ignored, so it is no problem to send Data entry MSB (Controller number 6) only (without Data entry LSB).
On this unit, NRPN can be used to modify the following parameters.

*Data entry LSB (llH) is ignored.
*Parameters marked "relative change" will change relative to the preset value(40H). Even among different GS devices, "relative change" parameters may sometimes dif- fer in the way the sound changes or in the range of change.
*Parameters marked "absolute change" will be set to the absolute value of the para- meter, regardless of the preset value.
*It is not possible to simultaneously use both Chorus Send Level and Delay Send Level on a single Drum Instrument.
