Re: Applying Portamento

2012-01-27 by BooleanYulian

pretty straight forward:

cv source (seq, midi>cv, s/h, etc..) into signal in of one of the TGs, take it's output to the destination (osc cv in, filter freq, etc...). Set TG's rise & fall fully cw (no portamento), play your source and adjust the rise/fall knobs until the desired effect is reached. Rise will slew the increasing voltages and fall will slew the decreasing ones.

.. a useful trick:

if you want to change the response curve of the slewed or non-slewed voltages, patch the TG's output into the rise/fall cv input and use the cv amount knob to adjust the response curve in the following manner (if i remember correctly):

- 12 o clock = lin
- fully ccw = exp
- fully cw = log

hope this helps

So, I've got a DTG & I'm wondering exactly what the correct patch is? I fooled around with it a little bit but couldn't quite get any glide. Fairly certain I was doing it wrong since I was trying to be careful not to disrupt a current patch.
