slides

[Guest captain]

how do I do slides in my sequencing program (Cubase SX)? I'm trying to get those old-school goa and acid sounds. Is it as simple as holding a note and then turning on the portamento for the proceeding note? Is there a special options for this in the piano roll (not editor)? I don't have access to an analogue step sequencer in order to try this. Oh yes, Cubase SX is controlling external midi synths, not VSTs. Thank you for the replies.

In The A1 synth ( comes with cubase sx) there is an button on the lower left corner. THis option does nice slides and the synth does nice GOA sounds to...Tty it

i think it's the portamento,

you can set that on the synthesizer, set it to half way

and put two half-notes next to each other, one being one octave

up, one down..

hope that helps..

I assume you want that tb303 type slide. This can only be specified by your synth/vsti... SX doesn't control things like that. Set your synth to in 'Legato' mode (sometimes just called mono), if it supports it cause not all do, then you should be good. Some synths just call it 'glide' too. Portamento is not is very uncontrollable when it comes to slides, cause EVERY note glides. Mono/Legato/Glide will just glide the notes that are overlapping.
