Help

The last features (portamento and pitch envelope) have been implemented only based on the documentation, not compared with the real hardward. If you own a DX11 or TX81Z I need you! Please record your sound with different values of portamento and pitch envelope and send it to me so I can improve the fidelity of the emulation.
