A purely hypothetical dirge :)

I know, I know. Maybe I should have been more specific but I was
thinking of a case where you've got an external kb or sequencer
through a MIDI/CV convertor into the lag module then into a VCO.
>> Now, it is possible to play keyed portamento with an 820, but it
depends on what you are using to control it. I can set my Prophecy
to send CC #65 only when playing legato, and then set an Aux output
from my Pro-4 to send CC #65, and plug that into the Bypass jack on
the 820. The Pro-4 grounds the jack and turns on the Bypass, when
it sends +5 the ground backs off and the portamento kicks in.
Interesting - thanks for the input (you too Mike).
I find the first case (portamento only when a "new" trigger is
received w/ an "old" gate signal) to be more natural.
Just to (hopefully) clarify for anyone who hasn't followed my
convoluted description here's a diagram to illustrate my different
cases (Where "X" is a discrete trigger signal and "---" is the gate):
This is the first case:
X X
----------------------
This is the second case:
X X
-------- -----------
