MS-20 Portamento problem...

Hi There,
When I go through the presets in Program mode, every preset with the MS-20 engine in it has lots of Portamento on it.
The other engines are ok.
Has anyone else had this problem?.
Thanks in advance,
Toxi.

may be it's not a problem )may be it's just factory presets , I think you just need to get into presets editing deeply , after all that's the advantage of the Kronos , you can tweak a lot)

Hi Genehart,
Every MS-20 preset sounds like it's set to 127. Yet when I check the Portamento level in the EXi tab it's 0.
Is this the way your Kronos is?.
Thanks for replying.

Is anything connected to the MIDI input (including USB MIDI devices)? MIDI CCs 5 and 65 will affect portamento. Try this:
1. disconnect the MIDI input and any USB MIDI devices (nanoPAD etc.)
2. restart the KRONOS
3. play the MS-20EX Programs. Do they sound the same as before?

is each and every ms-20 preset have portamento knob at 0 ??
I'm not using ms-20 patches in my everyday practice , but I also noticed a controller bug (??) ...when my pan/cutoff knob is set on the max value after I played some synth combis etc ,later when I play on the next day (rebooted, on/off etc ) , and sometimes (not so often) then after some pause I get back to playing piano from a setlist , my pan is changed according to a knob setting , while i didn't touched the knob at all
