Hi,
If someone could make a tutorial on programming the 8 glide modes in a sequencer pianoroll, I would be happy!!

The frist two glide modes are the ones you may find on other synths.
#3 to 8 are rather exotic ones.
These are normally only used for experimental style, or for very special situations or playing styles.
1: normal glide
Glide is always on. Of cause depending on the set glide rate. Obvious, right?
This is the mode the Minimoog D and most other synths have.
2: legato glide
glide is only active while you play legato.
Example:
you press the first note and hold it -> no glide
press a second note and hold it -> glide will get active
release the second note -> glide while the pitch changes to the first note still held
3: legato glide to second only
you press the first note and hold it -> no glide
press a second note and hold it -> glide will get active
release the second note -> no glide while the pitch changes to the first note still held
4: legato glide back to first only
you press the first note and hold it -> no glide
press a second note and hold it -> no glide
release the second note -> glide while the pitch changes to the first note still held
5: legato first note
6: mode 4+5 combined
7: legato glide back to first off
8: legato glide changing
same as mode #2, but here the glide is only active every second time you press and release a second note.
Feel free to add the missing descriptions here.
keep on turning these Moog knobs

You might find it easier to grasp what the glide modes are doing by playing the Moog from a keyboard rather than programming from a piano roll. I find that each mode leads to a different playing style.
Tills desciptons in the previous post are so clear and simple you shouldn't need a tutorial.
