The Pro Solo MkI appears not to have an auto- or legato-glide mode, which is
what you need to use tie for activating slide.
This is a common feature on better MIDI to CV convertors, and was indeed
added to the Pro Solo MkII.

There's no way to do this automatically at the moment.
It's the sort of thing I could add as a user config option.
I'll put it on the list for the next time I have a look at the P3 OS.
