How to pitch bend/tune overlapping/consecutive notes?

[Munckfruit]

 

Hey all, second post...

I've noticed some instruments have a feature where if the notes line up/overlap on the roll it will pitch bend/tune to the next note automatically.

Is there a feature for applying this to any instrument? I'm not sure what it would be called. I know you can do it manually, but its a bit tedious.

I received suggestions in another thread to use portamento or legato, but I'm not sure how to implement those?

Any help appreciated!

Not to any instrument, no. You have to use an instrument that supports that feature. You have to look for parameters named Glide, and/or Legato. 

For example in the ES2 you have to click the Legato mode, then adjust the Glide time:

In Retro Synth you have to go to the Settings, set the Polyphony to Legato, then turn on Glide and adjust the Glide time: 

In Alchemy you have to set the Mode to Legato and adjust the Glide time: 

In Sampler you have to click the Details button in the Synth pane, set the mode to Legato and adjust the Glide time:

Hey David,

Wow! Thank you for an extremely helpful and detailed reply! Thank you for taking the time to post edited screenshots for the 3 different synthesisers with clear explantations.

You're welcome! Happy to hear you find it helpful. Don't hesitate if you have follow-up questions, for example on another specific synth where you're not finding the settings.

Thanks, appreciate that! The synth I was using was alchemy so that solved it for me, cheers
