Notes node

Glide

Fills the gap between one played note and the next with a fast run of very short in-between notes, approximating a portamento slide since the note system has no continuous pitch to bend smoothly.

What it does

Glide is a note node: it makes, filters or changes notes before a synth plays them. It takes notes in and gives notes out.

Try it

Set the glide time to around 300–500ms on a bass line for a slippery, portamento-like slide between notes.
