Re: [Evolver] Fingered Glide

2005-10-24 by Ravi Ivan Sharma

Glide is interesting on the poly evolvers when not in mono or unison mode. This is so because the poly evolver (and the keyboard) have 4 complete Evolver's in them, and each voice doesn't *really* know what the other voice is doing, or that it exists with other voices. So when there is glide on in a poly patch, a voice will glide from where *it* last was, not the voice played before it. So if it last played a G (4 notes ago in the case of a poly or pek -- or 8 notes ago in the case of a PEK polychained to a Poly) and you give it a higher D, it will glide to that, the problem is that the last note you played might have also been a G (played by the voice before), then the next note will slide from the D to a G inexplicably. This goes for regular glide mode.
for fingered glide, the voice needs to sense that it has recieved a new note on signal before its turned off the prior note (i.e. legato) before it will execute a glide. Thing is, in poly mode, the last note you are playing is a completely different voice and the new voice that needs to glide will have long ago gone off most likely and therefore won't glide.

Hello,

Is there a trick to making the fingered glide work on the keyboard? The
manual says: Fingered Glide only works in Mono or Unison key assign
modes. What does this mean?

Regards,
Bernie
