Okay, here's what you do -- remap the controller. Portamento has to have two controls to work, so you want to remap both your modulation wheel and your sustain pedal. First launch QWS. Select the options menu, then MIDI Assignments. Tab to the Control Num box and arrow to controller 1. Hit tab again and arrow to controller 5. Now press Shift+Tab to go back up one box and arrow to 64, hit tab, and change it to 65 and press enter to close the window. Now while you hold your sustain pedal down Portamento is on, and the amount will be governed by the modulation wheel. Note that this assumes your sound source supports Portamento. These settings are persistent, so they'll work the same until you change them back. (I'd love a "clear all changes" button on this window to reset everything to defaults)

I meant something like a pedal or a wheel or a button on my controller. I don't know what you call those. I know it's possible to do it with the pedal, but I still couldn't figure it out. I tried it with a pedal, but even a sustain controller, or a hold won't work. Portamento also does not work.
