Yes, and my impression is that many midi knob boxes can as well. Of
course any computer sequencer will be able to do it.

For "303 slide type moments" all you have to do is set the glide rates
to X or to 0 (where X is the rate you want), depending on whether the
next note needs a slide or not -- there's no reason to send very many
messages.

Naw...

For a _slide_? That would _far_ more midi-intensive than simply setting
the osc glide rates (before each note, or even better, just when it
changes) and letting the synth do all the work...
The only exception I can think of is if you want a different glide curve
than what the Evolver uses, in which case I suppose a pitch bend would
be better (but then that pretty much holds for any synth).
