If you imagine a guitar solo when the string is excited only once, and all the notes later are a result of smooth change of the pitch of a string by just placing fingers on different frets without other excitement. This function worked well on Amiga’s Protracker. Here’s very short YT video describing how it works. I’d love to have this function in my mini. https://youtu.be/IQr8X1Yv0ao?si=NrMX9TIR7emADCG7&t=140
In glide function it triggers the next note and with a slide there’s no notes but values.
I wish it did on my unit. When a place a note and then another note with glide fx by it, apart from the fact the glide towards the second note is performed, after reaching it the second note is being played from the very beginning of a sample. Is there any tutorial you can suggest for me to see in this matter?
Please find attached example from my amiga module. Part on the far left is heavily modulated by portamento effect. Despite being able to emulate this effect partially it’s very inconvenient to create intricate solo parts this way.

Also I’m sorry for being not as precise as I should. I’m talking about a Tone Portamento
Aah, i see what you mean now. Yes Glide retriggers the sample that is correct. Which is not a problem if you use for example a single cycle waveform. But if you have something longer it will become obvious, that is correct. But there is a way around that by using the playback position FX - p.
I actually don’t remember how Protracker handled that on longer samples, i’d have to go check my old .mod’s for that
I hope this helps you. If you feel like you’d still want to create a wish for this, we should probably change it to an new type of Glide FX that doesn’t retrigger the sample. But that’s usually where you’d use Slide Up or Slide Down FX.
