Sliding Chords
8 min · Polyphonic mode · No patch cable needed
Pitch slides the glide knob can’t give you.
Glide slides at one speed and that’s it. Route the filter envelope to the oscillator pitch instead and you get three controls: attack sets how long the slide takes, sustain sets where it lands, decay sets how it settles. Slides over ten seconds are possible, or a barely-there wobble that reads as vintage oscillator drift. Also covers the difference between mono, unison and polyphonic voice allocation — worth knowing before you build any chord patch.

Tip: This patch shifts your overall pitch. Once the settings are dialed in, hold a note and retune to A 440 with the tune knob — otherwise the patch sits off-key against everything else.
