[sdiy] super simple portamento / slide / glide / slew limiting circuit?

Nyle Steiner did it very simply. Look at this page at my web site. It's a
dual unit, but you only have to build one side of it.

-- An RC circuit will give you an exponential portamento (constant time).
It's possibly more
-- of a "classic" sound, but it might be a little wonky sounding for longer
portamento times,
-- since it slows down and asymptotically approaches the destination pitch.
A proper slew
-- limiter (constant rate) might be better for general purpose use.
