Re: Evolver sequencer-triggered glide workaround

2005-11-16 by rgmccaig

I did think of that too (so I say... :) ). The drawback for me is that
I make patterns with the goal of eventually syncing them with other
gear... and of course I could record the midi pattern and sequence
externally, but I love the method of using gear that is independantly
sequenced, for me it allows the funkiest live tweaking.

But I agree it is a cool workaround. Now that I'm thinking about it
again, suppose I'll have to do it, thanx :)

Another semi-workaround is to modulate a pitch envelope, but it's a
lot more work to get glide-type results that way.

So please Mr.Dave <g> I would still love to see internal-triggered
glide on the Evolver, please!!!!!
