Glide

“Glide or "Portamento" describes the continuous gliding from one note to another. This effect can be

created on fretless string instruments or some brass instruments (e.g. trombone). It is very common on

synthesizers and used throughout all music styles. Please note that Glide affects the pitch of all

oscillators.

The controls for the glide effect are located in the Oscillators section.

The following parameters can be accessed via the Oscillator edit menu of the Q Rack or the front

panel of the Q Keyboard:

Glide Rate 0…127

Determines the glide time. Low values will give a short glide time in the range of milliseconds that

gives a special character to the sound. High values will result in a long glide time up to several

seconds which can be useful for solo and effect sounds.

Glide Mode Portamento / Fingered Portamento / Glissando / Fingered Gliss

Determines the way the Glide effect works.

• Portamento means that a continuous glide is performed on all new notes.

• Fingered Portamento means that a continuous glide is performed only, when notes are

played legato. Staccato played notes start on the exact pitch of their note.

• Glissando makes the normal Glissando effect in the same manner by changing the pitch in

semitones.

• Fingered Gliss is similar to Glissando but generates a pitchchange only when notes are

played coherent (legato).

Glide / Active off / on

Enables or disables the Glide effect.
