- independent up/down pitch bender range
- way to change modulation depth when pushing up on the pitch bender
- knob to change Portamento time


Yes, the first two points are valid but the TIME knob in the effect section is changing the portamento time as well as the 8 number buttons when holding down portamento button. The buttons are great for coarse changes and the time knob for fine ones.

The bender intensity is a bummer but I got used to be easy on the lever. It all comes down to training.
