Yep, I have been beat down about this before, but there is a very quick
slide (pretty much inaudible, but there nonetheless) and the degree of
its affecting the CV depends on the last CV amount and what the cap
charged to..mind you, the pulse gets longer as the tempo gets slower
too, since every note is divided into 6ths(24ppq).. you get a 1/6th
pulse for no glide (this updates the latch), and you get 6/6ths for a
glide. This I believe I gleaned from Robin Whittle. I would say you
could just automatically introduce this into the slide circuit by
triggering a little pulse circuit from the gate to introduce a spike to
the slide circuit. a cap, transistor, couple o resistors should do it. I
had to make one of these to go to the trig circuit in my Arp so I could
seperately trigger the ADSR independent of the GATE AR..works good.
am therefore now

That might work too, I would be worried it might be too long for fast
tempo stuff.
