Portamento speed not saved

DX100
Portamento speed and mono is not saved per patch?
KODAMO
No, this is saved per Part (inside a Performance)
DX100
Yes, this makes sense on one level but then when the portamento is integral to the voice doesn't make sense.

Yes, if possible, please, please implement polyphonic portamento. It is available in my elderly DX 100 which I've had since 1985 (and is now slightly shaky), and it seems like it's available in the Korg Opsix (the Opsix menu has it as "Poly Legato"). When programmed carefully and played tastefully, it can be very beautiful indeed, as demonstrated here in the Sonicstate demo of that instrument (From 8:30):



To be able to create this kind of polyphonic glide patch with four sine operators and slight detuning between the operators gives a lovely shimmer and melancholy that is hard to beat, especially with moderate reverb.

While it makes sense for monophonic voices to have glide, I'd love to have glide availeble for polyphonic sounds as well in the EssenceFM or keyboard based successors thereof.

Shouldn't portamento be at the voice level?
For example a patch should be able to layer a portamento voice along with a non-portamento voice.
This is not currently possible, correct?
KODAMO
This is possible by using a performance. Since portamento is handled at the part level, simply put several parts on the same MIDI channel to stack them, with different portamento settings. Handling this per voice won't be possible.

Ah well, it's still my best synth 😜
