[sdiy] Naming a module

[Gavin Muir]

If I understand correctly, this sounds familiar to one of the "Page  
2" functions on the Oberheim OB-8; Oberheim called it "Portamento Bend".

Oberheim described it in the manual:

"This switch causes all notes to glissando from a programmable  
interval above or below the note being played. The rate of the gliss  
is controlled by the portamento control on the other page."

It's amazing what a little ultra-fast "portamento bend" can do to a  
powerful fast attack brass patch!
