Analogue-sequencer

Just a quick one.

I want to sequence my Macbeth M3X (analogue mini "clone" from Ken Macbeth)
with the P3 so that it glides like a 303 when I tie steps with the P3, but
is does NOT glide when notes are not legato/tied.

the M3X has a legato function on the envelopes, so when tieing steps
together it will NOT retrigger the envelope, which is what I want really,
however, for portamento, the M3X needs a controller number (say #65) to tell
him to turn the portamento on or off.  The actual controller # can be set up
to what I want (the M3X has an integrated kenton pro-one MIDI to CV
interface)...
So far I've been recreating the tie-gliding character of the 303 by setting
up an aux controller number and basically replicating by hand what happens
on the Tie line onto the Aux line. but it's a bit of a pain and a much
simpler way could be to tell the P3 to send such MIDI controller accordingly
to what happens in the Tie event sequence.

so here's the question : does the P3 send MIDI event of any kind for steps
that have their tie status activated ?
if not, which is what I believe (after all, from a MIDI perspective a Tie is
just a note off message carried one step further), then can I set the P3 in
such a manner (say using an Aux events that would get the Tie status of the
step and act on my controller number 65 ?)

I had a quick look at the reference manual yesterday and from what I can
read , there is no way to do that at the moment...

I was thinking maybe Colin could give us some thoughts as to how this is
possible ?
