Portamento on keyboard, not step sequencer

Post by shobley »

Does anyone know if it's possible to route only the keyboard input through the portamento function, and not the step sequencer patterns?

I tried to reproduce this bassline the other day:

And when I added portamento to the sound it applied to the changes from the step sequencer, as well as the input from the keyboard. I realize now how much of this sound is truly 'analog' where you are mixing CV signals as well as audio.

Can I set up the Radias to only slide transpositions, and not the steps of the sequence?

Hi,

AFAIK it is not possible what you ask.
Portamento is a parameter of the timbres. Both keyboard and step sequencers feed the timbre via the same port (See the position parameter in the manual), so you can not make a distinction between them.

Have fun.
