5.8.2. Glide
Also called portamento, Glide means that when you play a note, then play another, the pitch
will transition through the notes in between, almost like an invisible hand on a very precise
pitch ribbon controller.
•
Glide:
Sets the Glide time between notes.
•
Legato:
When active, Glide only occurs on legato playing.
♪
Legato means playing a new note without fully releasing the previous one. Setting Glide to Legato
helps you play expressively when you don’t want Glide all of the time. If you want to hear a note come
in crisply with no pitch travel, just make sure all prior notes are fully released, then play it.
5.8.2.1. Glide Modes
Glide (portamento) on the original Prophet-VS was actually between
voices, not notes.
Prophet-VS V gives you a choice, which is accessed in the side panel
:
•
Notes:
Prophet-VS V glides between notes as on most synths.
•
Original:
Prophet-VS V glides between voices as on the original hardware.
In Notes mode, the Glide setting ranges from zero to 2 seconds per octave. This means that
at a given setting, the pitch will take longer to arrive at a destination note that’s farther away
from the previous note played.
