[sdiy] Glide question

[Dave Leith]

Hi Veronica

yup believe it is, the pitch never quite seems to get to the note
(ARP) because of the exponential ....and time is the same for closer
or wider pitch intervals.

whereas the mini always sounds like it gets to the end note (just like
the guitar example) The time actually changes for closer or wider
intervals.
