Manfred Mann's Blinded By The Light "glide" effect

2012-10-12 by karnevil@rocketmail.com

Hi everyone,

This is my first post although I've been reading this forum for a while now and I've learnt a lot of things about modular synths from you guys, so first of all thank you for that :) I've got an A-100 basic system 2 that I mainly use for recording and now I'm a bit stuck and asking for your kind help. It might be a silly question, so don't tell me off please :)
I need to recreate the Minimoog "glide" effect in Manfred Mann's version of Blinded By The Light. You can hear it on this live recording, it starts around 1:56

Actually I used apostrophes cause I'm almost sure it's not done with the Glide feature of the Minimoog, I think it's just envelopes. That's what I'm experimenting at the moment on my A-100, I connected the ADSR's outputs to the CV inputs of my oscillators, but this way the increasing pitch doesn't stop on the particular key I hit, but keeps increasing endlessly. I'm sure it's something to do with the ADSR settings, I just can't figure out what... Any help would be very appreciated.

By the way here's a little introduction from me, about a year ago just after purchasing my A-100 system I tried to recreate Keith Emerson's famous solo patch on Lucky Man:

All the best,
