> 1) realtime programming (esp. with accent)

It isn't realtime -- you program it, then you play it back. You can twirl 
the accent knob around while playing, if that is what you mean.

Nope, either a note has a slide or it doesn't.  You can't set varying 
amounts -- it is either on or off.

> 3) psychic portamento - i.e. the portamento note starts early so that the

Since the sequence is already programmmed in before you can play it, it 
knows where the slides are before it gets to them.  That is the big 
gimmick in the TB-303's sequencer.

PEACE OUT :)
