• ACKH Glissando Mode:, By pressing the begin and end notes, the system automatically generates a pentatonic, heptatonic, or Persian scale sequence in between (according to the Key setting); The time interval between the begin and end notes controls the duration of each note in the sequence, thus determines the speed of the glissando. The velocity of begin and end notes controls the variation in intensity, allowing for different variations from soft to hard or vice versa.
