Hi, I have read every mention of Glide in the manual and the userforum. I still have a lot of questions about glide. I tried to do it just by listening, but I haven't had much luck in cracking the code yet.
I understand that there are two parameters that control glide - time & steps.
I guess I don't understand how the glide time maps to actual time, and what the defaults are for glide steps. If I just want a smooth glide between notes, do I have to manipulate the steps value or leave on default 0? Being that FX1 is executed before FX2, which setting should I manipulate first? Also, I assume if I turn glide on in a row (by setting time >0) then the glide will occur between that row and the next row (and every subsequent row until I set time back to 0). So if I set glide time in row 3 >0, and set it to 0 in row 4, I will only glide between the notes one 3 & 4, correct? A pictogram similar to the one for the trigger value may be warranted here.
Can this be explained in more detail? Is glide steps default 0 maximum steps or minimum steps? Is the number of steps related to bit-depth? If steps value is high but time is low, what happens?
Also as an advanced topic, I find that logarithmic glide shapes work best (at least for traditional berlin or acid style). I read about using add/mul in another topic and I can see potentially how you cold possibly do that in a table but even with a table speed of 1 it doesn't seem like you would get it very smooth, but either way I don't see how to start messing with the curve if I don't know how time & steps work and are inter-related!
Thanks.
