How to add Portamento

[ulrik]

@beatbossb I think I wrote that script, it's a glide up/down to pressed key script, in the picture below:
if key pressed, the sounding note will start 2 semitones under the pressed key and glide up to the pressed key during the amount of time set (102ms)

You could try this one, I think it will do what you had in mind
It's a monophonic portamento script (at least I think portamento is the correct name, someone with more knowledge please chime in)

@Ulrik

Thank you

@weezycarter

Did you ever get the Glide to work?

[tsempire]

Does anyone have a real Portamento that does the job properly? I've been looking for months

[d.healey]

@tsempire Everyone seems to mean something slightly different when they say portamento. How do you mean it?

[tsempire]

@d-healey

I'm looking for a portamento effect like in Kontakt, for the Balkan and Oriental styles.

Even when I tested the glide, it doesn't sound right. I've looked everywhere on the forum and tried scripted things for months without success.

This is what I've been trying to find for months, the glide and Portamento

@d-healey

Is this what the latest version is?

Legato.js

[d.healey]

@tsempire No

[tsempire]

@tsempire Is there a latest version of the script ?

[d.healey]

@tsempire The script you linked to is the latest version of my legato script, but it's not a portamento script so won't be useful to you

[tsempire]

@d-healey Excuse me, I meant for the Legato, I'll test it then.

11 minute video in a language I don't understand isn't much help here.

Can you give me a break down of how it should work from a user's perspective?

Press 1 key, what should happen?
Press 2 keys at the same time, what happens?
Hold 1 key and press another, what happens?
etc.

[tsempire]

@d-healey I'm almost there. The problem is that the notes get cut off when they are played. The notes should pitch correctly. Do you understand me better now ?

[d.healey]

@tsempire said in How to add Portamento:

Not really. Imagine I'm DaveGPT and you need to explain to me what you want.

[tsempire]

@d-healey A glide effect (also called portamento) makes the pitch slide smoothly from one note to another instead of jumping instantly.

When you play two different notes:

Without glide → the first note stops and the second starts instantly.

With glide → the pitch slides gradually from the first note to the second, creating a smooth transition

[d.healey]

@tsempire Does the snippet do what you want?

[tsempire]

@d-healey Yes, except that when you play two notes in a row, the first one cuts off. Do you know why?

Not sure what you mean, I'm able to play continuously with that snippet.

[tsempire]

@d-healey Indeed, it works on a Sine Wave Generator1.

But when I use a Sampler1 with samples,

when I hold down the E5 key and then play another note above it, like G#5, the E5 note stops playing immediately, even though I’m still holding the key down.

Do you understand better now?

@tsempire said in How to add Portamento:

I know exactly why that happens. The script won't work with samples.

Give me every single detail of what you want. How is the glide speed controlled? What role (if any) does velocity play? How should notes "glide"? - do you just want to pitch shift up/down or do you want to trigger the destination note too and transition into it with a crossfades, etc.
