SQ1 - MIDI-limitation: no SLIDE

As already mentioned in my previous post

the SQ1 can not SLIDE in MIDI-mode. This limits in my opinion the SQ1s possibilities significantly!!!!!!
If you look for example at the Volca Bass "tie-ing" 2 equal notes is very important for the groove. You can create grooves consisting of 1/16th notes, 1/4th notes, full notes and so on. With the SQ1 (in MIDI-mode only!!) you are limited to one note-length as every step triggers a new NoteOn-message.
There are normally 2 different slides:
o a slide between 2 different notes
this is rather difficult to program for MIDI but can be done with MIDI-CCs (similar to pitch-bend)
o a "slide" between 2 equal notes (= "tie")
this is rather easy to program !!!
Basic algorithm:
IF SLIDE BETWEEN EQUAL NOTES
skip NoteOff at the end of 1st step and NoteOn on start of 2nd step
PLS KORG: GIVE US FOR THE SQ1 MIDI-SLIDE !!! (at least to tie notes)
