Missing feature: legato-controlled glide

[rplktr]

The sequencer lets me create turn on glide just for selected steps but when playing the synth via MIDI, glide is applied to all notes, unless you turn it off or change its amount via CC. It would be great if there was a glide-while-legato mode that I became used to with softsynths. I can script the CCs with Logic but it's more work.

A related missing feature is that MIDI velocity is ignored in freeplay mode. It should be possible since MIDI velocity will apply accents when recording sequences in KB mode I know I can sort of work around this with the ASSIGN CV but there's only one and I need it for other things!

I'm going to second this...like the way the x0xb0x works. I always thought their implementation was really clever.
If two notes overlap, the glide is applied.
If a midi velocity is above a certain threshold, accent is applied.

I can't recall if there is a 'rest' midi note...maybe velocity of 1? 0 might be strange because that could be interpreted as a note off.

It would be awesome if I could just take my midi sequences that work on the x0x, plug the midi into the mother, and have it work close to the same. Or even route the x0x midiout to the mother to double it up.

Thank yall.

To reply to myself, you can set MIDI velocity to be output via the ASSIGN CC (option 10). Then you'd patch it to VCF cutoff, maybe through the mixer to attenuate how much the velocity affects it. So accents are actually pretty easy to solve.

For legato-controlled glide though, there's nothing like that. You can program your MIDI controller or DAW to output CC5 (amount of portamento) and/or CC65 (portamento on/off), both of which the Mother understands. However, I find that clumsy to use both for DAW programming and especially live performance. Legato would be much more obvious to use.
