[sdiy] a different kind of slide

Economy of microprocessor output pins (again, economics driving the 303
design).  By using some tricky timing characteristics, they were able to get
two uses out of one pin.  If you quickly pulse that line, you'll latch a new
value into the DAC, and induce a breif moment of glide.  If you hold that
line, you'll get the new value into the latch, and switch in the glide circuit.

It would be very interesting to see how the slide signal relates to the gate
input.  It'll bet they're both quantized to the same 16th note steps.
