There are two midi controllers that SHOULD control this; the first is Portamento
off/on and the second is portamento amount, which goes from 0 to 127. I'm
on a business trip to Asia right now, and am writing from my hotel room, so
I don't have any midi documentation as to which numbers these controllers are
- perhaps someone else can answer - and I also don't know whether the GUS
responds to portamento. I'll try this out when I get home next month, but in
the meantime, if anyone tries it, please let us know what you find out.
