its like pitching from one note to the other.
other sequenzer have this feature called slide,
many synths call it glide, whatever.
you write something in the pianoroll, then you can decide which notes you want to slide.

Glide is a feature from a synth. So ANY piano roll can do this.
Including Live.

It's just a matter of making the note end after the next note starts...

yes but i mean, i want this feature in the piano roll without using the synth glide function because its different to each synth
when you look at fruity loops, its long time ago but i think you can mark notes in the piano roll to slide
and only the notes you want to slide not all

in fruity it is only possible with certain synths, specifically the ones that are bundled. You'll notice that it doesn't work with 3rd party vsti. It's a good trick, but there isn't anything directly comparable with Live - you caould sortof fake it by accessing the 'glide' envelope for the on/off button of the specific vsti.

I am assuming you mean like the slide option in the FLStudio pianoroll.

The answer is no, the Live piano roll does not have this option.

you mean to automate glide on off and glide time?

*edit* when do you think you finished your step sequenzer plugin?

my life is just too busy right now, I make changes to these things for my own amusement but they look terrible with old elements everywhere. Even when I do make a new version I dont get a chance to update the site or installers, EG I have a new version of the angstrolooper that was made in december!

I was actually using the step sequencer for something this weekend though so there's a chance I will simply release it as-is. I find it fun so other people probably will. Theres a traditional "sliders" type sequencer hidden on that site too which I should probably expose more.
