FX PITCH Up and PITCH Down

[quadroctet]

Just an idea :

Effects you can find in old trackers (ZX Spectrum,...) in addition to GLIDE are PITCH Up and PITCH Down.

That means when the effect is set and the tracker encounter a Note, it starts to increase or decrease Pitch by a speed.
At this moment, I'm able to achieve this effect by using GLIDE and two notes like this :

00 C-7 -- -- -- GL C 000
01 C-2 -- -- -- GL C 001
02 ---   -- -- -- ----   ---
03 ---   -- -- -- ----   ---
04 B-7 -- -- -- GL C 000
05 B-2 -- -- -- GL C 001
06 ...

but it would be simpler to use only one Note and set the effect only one time.
I know that means a lot of new FX for a function I don't use every time...

You can do exactly that with the Pitch command (very first in the FX called PTCH).

Doesn't work for me !! Have you an example ?

Just Play a note and use the PTCH command a few times beneath each other, it will increase or decrease the pitch every time it passes.

Yes ok but not exactly what I suggest.

Thank you.

OK I see. (Just double checked again). I think another portamento function would be overkill. A portamento like with oldschool trackers do/can lead to non-scaled notes. The 'portamento to note' which in fact the glide is with the nerdseq is more precise to where the glide leads to.
You still can program a similar portamento using tables and most probably other FX (Add/Sub) in combination.
