Slide... (and porta mento) about juicysfplugin HOT 6 CLOSED

@KJinx101 What you show in the YouTube video looks pretty cool, but I think the underlying synthesizer (fluidsynth) doesn't expose any easy way to do that. Their APIs expose a portamento "mode", but that's basically "on or off". If it is possible, then I expect it'd be through individual voice control. I don't want to go as far as maintaining the state of a voice and tracking changes myself; I want to leave the heavy lifting to fluidsynth.

Your suggestion of automating a glide knob to change the speed of portamento... maybe we can do that already? I pass every MIDI CC event on to FluidSynth. They do support portamento.

I think you could try sending a CC 65 to enable portamento (assuming it's not on by default), and then automate MIDI CC 5 Portamento Time -- that sounds like it's for changing portamento speed (same as the "glide" knob).

@bahburah pitch shift is supported; we accept the standard MIDI Pitch Bend Event. but yeah, it'd be hard to implement glide with that.

I second this.

This plugin is almost perfect. The sound quality is amazing and it has ADSR.

If only there was a pitch shift option to automate at the very least

There actually is a pitch-shift (bend) already that works with your DAW's native pitch wheel mapping (Like if you have a midi keyboard) and it can be automated.

Automating a glide like that would be pretty tedious though

Ah, I see! Didn't realize fluid already may support that. I think I'll be able to test this out using patcher and the midi out using FL. Thanks

It works like a charm! Seems like on/off can be turned on at 100% including mono. I just used something (fl color mapper) to map the channels for poly, mono, "porta," and "slide" [to automate] and then used a few instances of another plug in called midi polysher to send the CC's with the buttons in patcher. Now I basically have all of the same functionality.

Amazing! glad it turned out to be possible. :)
