Hi,
This is not really a Live specific question, but you all seem like a friendly helpful bunch who know plenty about making music...
I'm trying to recreate a sample of a synth lead that gradually sweeps (over about 15secs) from one note to the octave above. I have the Arturia Moog Modular and NI Pro-53, but not the know how! Could anyone explain to me how this might be achieved.
Thanks for any help,

Synth sweep - How?
The effect you look for is portamento, sometimes also called glide.
if a synth has it you need to turn it on, and/or increase a parameter to a longer time than 0. Often (but not always) it gets triggered by playing notes overlapping, instead of jumping from one note to another the tone will, erm, glide.
Hope that helps.

you can use the clip envelopes or arrange view envelopes to do a massive pitchbend...shortwave wrote:Hi,

or you can automate the frequency of the oscilators.. which is basically the same thing.
