TB Sequencer Replication by Software (was another @#!! TB thread)

Yes, I am on the list. 

Seq-303 does not do a perfect job of replicating TB-303 slide; what it does
is this:

1) it lengthens the note to which glide is applied (makes it legato),
2) it turns on glide at the end of the note.

This of course does not do a great job - the slide begins when the second
note starts, not 80 msec before. And it uses MIDI portamento messages for
glide, which seem to be ignored by most instruments (certainly by all sound
cards!) 

Maybe I could try moving the note start time ahead a few clocks when glide
is on.

I owned a TB back when they were new, but never used the slide or the
internal synth. Kind of ironic :')
