GLIDE
Known by different names (“slew”, “bend”, “portamento”, “glissando”…), the GLIDE module is a utility allowing sliding from one note pitch to another.
Is a utility allowing the sliding from one note pitch to another.
Concretely, this is a gradual voltage variation (the speed of which depends on the position of the potentiometer) between a signal entering at IN and exiting at OUT.
It can be used to read notes in a subtle or radical way, for special effects, to soften an LFO (rectangular waveform) or an ADSR curve, etc …
The slip time varies from 0 to ~7 seconds (when the potentiometer is fully right), ~2 seconds in the
middle (test carried out over a range of 0 to 1 volt, or one octave).
The “rate” setting thus allows a subtle effect on the first quarter (bass sequence, arp…), a little more
pronounced on the second, and more exaggerated on the next two.
A small trimpot, on the back of the module, allows you to switch from the classic Glide mode to the
more experimental “special effects” mode, even… psychedelic (slip time varies from 0 to ~13 seconds)!
– Trimpot maximum, counter-clockwise: Glide soft, traditional (as described in the “explications” section),
mode recommended for typical use.
– Trimpot maximum clockwise: Demonic Glide. Caution, in this mode, the “RATE” potentiometer at zero
already restores a Glide of about 6 seconds! You have to see the trimpot as a second potentiometer
connected in series with the main one. To be reserved for special effects or sound experiences 🙂
