Glide
Glide Glide creates a smooth transition from one note to the next instead of the
normal instantaneous change in pitch when a new key is pressed. This
effect is commonly heard on slide guitars, synthesizers and violins.
The front panel Glide Button LED comes on when the any layer of the
current preset has a glide rate greater than 0.000 seconds (regardless of if a
PatchCord is connected or not). Pressing the button turns the LED and
glide off. Pressing the front panel glide button when all layers are set to a
glide of 0.000 turns glide on with a rate of 0.142 seconds/octave.
The Glide Rate parameter defines the time it takes to glide to the new pitch
(the larger the value, the slower the glide rate) The glide rate value range is
from 0 through 32.738 seconds (zero means off).
The Glide Curve describes how the glide accelerates as it slides between
notes. Because of the ear’s non-linear response to pitch, a linear glide
sounds slow at the beginning and speeds up toward the end. Exponential
curves actually sound smoother and more linear. Eight exponential curves
are provided. Choose one that suits your style.
Glide can be either polyphonic or monophonic depending of the state of
Solo Mode.
To Set up a Glide Rate Knob:
1. Set at least one layer to the minimum setting of 0.002 sec/oct. (This
forces the Glide LED to come on.)
2. Connect the MIDI controller of your choice to Glide Rate on the layers
you’d like to glide. Adjust the Cord Amount for the desired range.
3. Disconnect the MIDI controller from whatever else it was connected to
before you started mucking about.
4. The Glide button turns Glide on/off and the knob controls the rate.
