no I don't actually, but I do know that every function of every synth (maybe except some oddballs) are explained in it's user manual. a quick google should find you a scan of the manual or something similar.
did you try using the tap-button and see what happens?

those TAP buttons on the bottom right have 2 functions.

in step-write mode (press the EDIT button), they are for inputting ACCent and PORTAmento (slide).
in real-time mode (SHIFT + NORM button), allows you to TAP in notes in real-time while the metronome sounds.

it also allows you to step through note/pitch data with the TAP key in EDIT modes.


if you don't have a manual - get it here: ftp://ftp.roland.co.uk/ProductSupport/M ... 202_OM.pdf
