Hi guys, this seems to be never ending story for some people here, but how is actually slide meant to be used? For both pitch / parameter slide — I’d expect so sequencer goes from A to B, but I’m actually not able to achieve it correctly, even locked note will not stay in pitch after increasing SLI parameter … I’ve tried to put slide trigs around, nothing helped … I know many of you are asking to have 303-like slide… this is what one would expect, but if it’s not designed in such an obvious way, there must be a reason why it’s done the way like this, right?
There is note slide and parameter slide. Both works just fine as described in the v1.1 manual on page 38 and 39.
If a note slide trig is placed on the same step as a note trig, the pitch of the previous note trig will slide. For instance, if a track contains two note trigs and a note slide trig is placed on the same step as the second note trig, the pitch of the first note trig will slide to the pitch of the second note trig. The speed of the pitch slide is determined by the SLI parameter, found in the second page of the OSC2 menu.
For a parameter value to slide between two trigs, it needs to be locked on one of the trigs. A locked parameter value will slide to the unlocked value and vice versa. To make the parameter value slide, place a slide trig on the same sequencer step as the trig whose parameters you want to slide. The speed of the slide is relative to the current tempo and the slide is completed when the next trig is reached. Several parameter values can slide at the same time.
Nat: yeah, I’ve kept hassling with these portamento is just for external control, not the sequencer
Avantronica: haha, yeah, I’ve got caught on this few times already - I think I’ve got my lesson already
LarsErik: yeah, I’ve read that, but I still don’t get what I can do with that, the logic … what I’m trying to figure out is not as technical I suppose…
let say I put a A3 trig on 5, C3 trig on 12 (slide on trig 5) - this slides from C3 to A3 and then it cuts to C3 (if SLI is high, you will never hear A3)
With portamento ON, legato ON, while using keyboard it works fine, but no luck with the sequencer …
any ideas why it’s designed this way and how it can be used? with BND param it’s perfect for pitch bends on the start, but slide trigs can’t make me think how to make use of it the way it’s designed …
one thing to make sure, is that Polyphonic voice allocation is turned off for that track - it wont slide notes in the sequencer if that is turned on - needs to be a monophonic patch
yeh i had this same issue, and thats what fixed it for me… i really dig on the note slides too - btw you can parameter lock the “slide” parameter so the sliding changes speed within the track - thats the hotness
portamento is just for external control, not the sequencer
