#PORTAMENTO AUDIOSAUNA HOW TO#

So that's a number that you might use for the bottom input on the Selector module (in red, above). A higher filter frequency means a shorter portamento time. If you use a 1-Pole Low-Pass Filter module on the pitch signal as portamento, then a filter pitch of 128 is high enough to jump five octaves without noticeable glide.

The end result is that whenever you play a note after a gap, the portamento time is set to its minimum setting so that the pitch jumps to the new note instantly, and then the portamento time is set back to its original setting.ĭepending on how the portamento module or macro is programmed, you may have to adapt the Hold module time and the alternative low time setting for the portamento to get the desired result. You then use the output of the Hold module to select between the time setting for the portamento, and a constant time value (indicated in red in the image) that is low enough so that the new pitch is reached within the 1 millisecond that you've set in the Hold module. You then use a Separator module to filter out the key-off events, and use the key-on events to trigger a Hold module with a very short time, e.g. You set both its minimum and maximum output value to 1, so that every key-on event has a value of 1 whatever the velocity is. You start with the Single Trigger Gate module, which creates a gate signal of all keys/voices combined, which means that it doesn't send a new key-on event when playing legato. Here's one such solution, which temporarily sets the portamento time to its minimum value at the start of non-legato notes: Not sure if I have all of the connections correctly from the image below:įor a monophonic instrument, or a polyphonic instrument with the number of voices set to one, you can use simple tricks to get legato-only portamento to work. The AllKeyGate macro from accepted answer works nicely.Īttempting now to implement the Portamento macro that implements is, including a pitch filter: (Selector input should be around 128, not 0.)

#PORTAMENTO AUDIOSAUNA HOW TO#

So I think that perhaps for the 'Monophonic Legato-Only Portamento' approach it would be inserting the 'Single Trigger Gate>Separator>Hold>Selector' module, something like this, but I don't know what is coming out of the selector module, how to tell what is coming out of it, or what it is supposed to feed. There's a tutorial here by Mike Huckaby, which demonstrates putting the pitch input through a 1 pole filter, and converting the low-pass output from the filter from analog to event data, while using a control (knob) to generate the input on the 1 pole filter, which might step (as in this example) by increments of 1 between -60 and 60 Hertz (mostly below the audible range). The first thing I realized is that portamento happens between the pitch input and the sound generation. However, I aim to make sense of the wonderful answer to this question anyway.īased on the input from answer below, I am working on building the various version of this module. Updateįirst of all, I realized that I can achieve the musical goal in this case simply by manually manipulating the amount of portamento with the knob, turning it down for non-legato lines. The portamento goes away when I remove the (highlight) cable between the GI output and the Glide GI input and am thinking maybe some kind of use of a Compare module will do the trick. Or perhaps within the gate pitch > mono > glide itself: It looks like this would be done in the gate pitch > mono module: the gate has closed) begins on it's default pitch rather than pulling the pitch from the previous note. I would like to alter the instrument so that a new note (ie. In the factory synth, Oki Computer, there is a portamento/glide knob.
