Slides and Accents

[shagghie]

I can't speak to the feasibility of implementing that in the NDLR firmware, but my suggestion is that if the target synth has a portamento function that is MIDI CC controllable, you would be able to use a motif pattern as an lfo shape in the mod matrix to turn it up and down for different steps. If this would work it would be a much simpler solution. I'll see if I can try it out and get back to you as to the results.

I actually ran into some problems testing my idea, (mod matrix mod range is buggy when targeting MIDI CCs it looks like) and will have to add a bug sighting to the list, and as such, I wasn't able to confirm my theory, but I did try using the idea of sequencing 1 synth with 2 sequences, and sure enough overlapping notes created slides, so that does appear to be one possible solution.

What is the setup you used to hit one synth with two sequences? Might be interesting to run 1 sequence at say 80 Velocity and the other at 127 velocity and let the second sequence really act as an accent and slide “generator” against the first (primary) sequence. More fun still using different length patterns for polyrhythmic accent /slide behavior.
