TIME--Use this parameter to specify the speed at which the glides are carried out. The higher the value, the slower the transitions. TUNING--This parameter allows you to introduce subtle (or not-so-subtle) pitch inaccuracies usually associated with analog synthesizers. Irrespective of the choice you make here ("Low", "Mid", "High"), the effect will be noticeable, but never overly dramatic. Select "Off" if you do not need this effect. This is not the same as a vibrato effect, because it only affects the onset of the notes. There is thus no periodic modulation of the pitch.
