Hello,

I am having trouble getting the Glide function to work in the 'Analog' synth. I place notes on the midi track adjacent to each other(i.e. second note starts exactly when first ends) but I don't get the glide/portamento effect.

I think there is something weird going on because it will randomly work if I turn the vibrato on, and then off. It'll glide for 1 loop and then stop. (Of course the Glide button is ON. I've also tried playing with the time setting it makes no difference when it's not working. I also tried legato using one note then add another while the first one is playing, no dice.)

I am running Live 7 on Mac OS X Leopard on a MacBook Air.

Any ideas?

Thanks. This program is a masterpiece.

Ok, I found out that if I set 'Analog' to 'Mono' under the 'Voices' parameter, then it glides. In non-mono voice setups there seems to be some underlying voice assignment process that does not allow gliding if i'm just doing one note followed by another single note in 8 voice mode for instance.

Would be nice to mention this in the manual unless i'm missing something, since the default mode for the synth is 8 voices?
