• 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.
