303 Style Glide

[Larry Pham]

Hey guys,

I finally figured out how to get that 303 style glide effect in the 
piano roll / matrix editor of the sequencer.

Here's how I did it;

(Just a simple example)

1. Create a 4 beat midi loop
2. Set it to 8th beat quantization
3. Input a simple 8 note pattern;
     
      ----      ----                  ----
----                  ----      ----
            ----            ----
 
C2-C3-C1-C3-C2-C1-C2-C3


4. Draw in CC#5 (Portamento) about 90 or what ever level "glide" you 
want across the whole pattern;

      ----      ----                  ----
----                  ----      ----
            ----            ----
_________________________

----------------------------------     <---- CC#5 (Portamento)

5. For glides on the second and third notes, set CC#65 (Porta On/Off) 
value to 127;

      ----      ----                  ----
----                  ----      ----
            ----            ----

Have fun!
