28 Chromatic Glide (Glissando)

Glissando is similar to glide, except that the pitch changes in chromatic steps

instead of a smooth slide between notes.

This patch is not exactly obvious, but it makes sense once you know the secret.

It’s another example of how the “Power of the Patchcords” can be used to

create new features for your Proteus or Emulator X.

 To Add Glissando:

1. To try out this example, load the Proteus X Composer bank and select

Preset 26: LV’s Worm from the Tree by clicking on the little keyboard. This

is a nice monophonic lead that makes a good starting point for this effect.

2. Next click on the (+) symbol to open the preset

modules.

3. Click on the Voice Processing icon . The

Voice Processing (synthesizer controls) module

appears.

4. Select page three of the Cords section, which has a bunch of unused Cords.

5. Set-up the Patchcords as

shown at right.

6. Key Glide is amplified

four times, then inverted

and routed to Pitch. This

cancels out the normal

Glide patch.

7. The 4x Key Glide signal is

next sent to the Quantizer

twice at full level (100%

just wasn’t enough).

The output of the

Quantizer is then routed

to Pitch with an amount

of +50. (The output of the

Quantizer determines the step size.)

8. That about does it. Now just increase the Glide time

and play.

9. After you’ve explored glissando awhile, try, changing

the Key Mode to Poly Normal. What’s better than

glissando? Polyphonic Glissando!

6. These Cords

Cancel the

normal Glide

7. These Cords

Add the

Quantized

Glide back in
