Sliding Bass

Q  ... how do I get sliding bass sound you use in your some of your track?

A  Getting slides:

1. Put your synth into monophonic mode (can only play one note at a time)

2. Turn the Portamento (or slide) function on.

3. Enter 2 MIDI notes that slightly overlap into the key editor. See screenshot below:

The C note's pitch will now slide up to the G, starting from beat 4.3 and taking the amount of time determined by the portamento rate paramete.

Now when you play the sequence, any notes that are overlapped will trigger only the first note's envelope and will slide to the next note that it is overlapped with.

4. Adjust the portamento rate (sometimes called time) so that the slide occurs at the speed you require.

Have fun
