To clarify this as well:Pashkuli wrote: ↑Sun Nov 17, 2019 12:25 am To be more specific and as a quick reference to Roli Seaboard and its feature we discuss in this topic:
When you slide across the bumpy surface - trigger a legato slide (short legato notes)
When you trigger a slide front or back flat areas, trigger either Pitch Bend Message (not correct with respect to the technique with the same name) or Portamento.
Now, the challenge to the developers is to see if they can implement it that way... because i think they can't, because it is a linear grid instrument.
Would be good to see a demo from Seaboard owners though. I sold mine long time ago.
If you disable "GLIDE" dimension, gliding your finger across the surface will produce a legato stream of notes.
If you have "GLIDE" enabled to any degree (Because you can adjust its sensitivity), gliding your finger across will produce a SINGLE note with pitchbend data.
And yes it would indeed be possible for ROLI to implement pitchbend-like gliding on the bottom/top strips while having "legato like" stream in the middle, since its essentially a very cleverly mapped grid
