       There
 are still some kinks to work out with the portamento
 code.
 One
 of the main problems with the old code was that if you
 released the first (lead) note before playing the next
 (destination note), there would not be any portamento slide
 at all. So I fixed that particular problem. Now, you should
 be able to do trills easier than before.
 However,
 I also tried to redesign the code so that the slide time
 would be roughly the same no matter how distant the two
 keys. And it kind of works, there are some problems though.
 The main issue is written up in the release notes.
 So, although I've managed to put in
 the time to improve the timing and the note on/off behavior,
 I am going to have to wait a week or more before I can spend
 the time to iron out the kinks. And if people would prefer
 the original set up as it was then perhaps I can just revert
 back.

       Thanks
 Mike.
 Seems to be working like it used to
 now after the reflash.
 The glide rate seems
 a little slow though.  I thought it use to have a wider
 range.  Now it seems to go medium speed to very slow to
 crazy slow, a quick glide doesn't seem to happen.
 
 It won't let you begin to
 glide one direction, then go back the other direction mid
 slide when you hit a different key?
 Say
 start high, hit a low note and it begins to glide down..
 Then hit a high note again and it stays playing but goes
 back up again.
 
 I guess the
 mono mode never did let you play "trills".
 Where you hold one note down, then hit another
 note while holding the first.
 The new  note
 takes over and plays, but if you let it go, it will restart
 the previous key still held down.
 Let's
 you sound like a pro very easily.
