Glide parameter for Midi - Murcia Parker - 08-21-2023

A glide parameter for midi would be incredible

Midi can’t do glide. There is no note change in the midi specs and so no synth or anything could do that.
You could only simulate it with the pitch bend but this probably won’t work with many synths plus it will have also side effects.

I'm a bit confused. I thought you said it was possible:

Am I wrong?

No those are aftertouch or cc parameters, not note glides. These also depend on what the synth can do.

Sorry, I misspoke: I wanted to say cc parameters glides... Could it be possible?

You could connect the CC parameters to envelopes / automators now or with the upcoming version generate a dedicated glide with the mappings. 
In general a fully functional glide function like with the internal CV is not possible since there is never a known current /start position of the selected CC. The current CC values are only know. By the external synthesizers. So only ‘forced’ glides are possible and you could use the mentioned functions for that.
