Voyager XL Glide

Post by binarybonary » Fri Aug 09, 2013 7:43 pm

Hey,

I've just taken delivery of a Voyager XL and am a bit confused about the glide switch. Currently no matter what key/trigger/glide combination i try, nor whatever combo of glide switch and glide rate amount, gives me the portamento effect i'm expecting. Legato is fine, but hitting 2 notes legato at opposite ends of the keyboard still yields an immediate switch to the 2nd note even at the highest glide rate. When I patch the keyboard cv through the lag generator and onto the osc pitch i get the behaviour i'd expect, but it seems wrong that that would be the only way to do it - why have a glide switch?

Any help much appreciated!

Your XL glide switch is buggered.

Yep, seems like a defective glide switch.

Even if it's state is showing correctly on the screen?

If I use the lag generator am I missing out on anything - can't really face losing it for a month at the moment.

Thanks
