True. I'm using Pro 6.4.1, and hadn't heard of that capability in Pro 7.

Good to know. Are any of the JI tunings based on whole number ratios of the
key frequencies, a la Harry Partch? (ie. , if the frequency of the key note
is 1/1, then the frequencies of the note placements in the octave above
that are of the form 9/8, 5/4, 6/5, 4/3, 4/3, etc.). This is the basis of
the scale I've been using for a couple of decades, and I like it.

Will this portamento rate adjustment modify the pitch bend data on a
slide-generated note? Or does it apply to keyboard entry, to dictate the
change between discretely entered notes? (Or both? Or something else?)
