EDIT PAGE - Solo & Glide

 

SOLO

Solo allows the Patch to play monophonically.  SOLO mode is most effective when playing lead or bass lines.  It works in conjunction with the LEGATO button below it, which determines how the sound is triggered.

 

LEGATO

Legato is a triggering mode that allows the envelope and Soundsource to run through their settings instead of re-triggering with every new note that is played.  If LEGATO is not selected, then each new note played will retrigger both the envelopes and the Soundsource.

 

NOTE: In vintage synths, Legato ‘ON’ would be referred to as “Single Trigger” while Legato ‘OFF’ would be “Multi Trigger”

 

GLIDE

Glide is a portamento effect, which adds a pitch slide from one note to the next.  Omnisphere’s Glide function is polyphonic, which means that every note that’s played will have a sliding pitch.  Selecting the SOLO button above it enables monophonic Glide.

The control slider next to the GLIDE button determines how slowly or quickly that the pitches slide from one note to the next.  The higher the control slider is set, the slower the pitch glide between notes. 

Range 0 to 2 seconds

 

GLIDE LEGATO

Glide Legato will change the criteria for when GLIDE is enabled.  If legato notes are played, then GLIDE will be activated.  If quick, staccato notes are played, the Glide effect will not be heard.

 

GLIDE A B (LAYER BUTTONS)

GLIDE can be used on just one Layer if desired.  By default, when GLIDE is selected, both A & B will active.  If neither A or B is selected, no GLIDE effect will be heard, and the GLIDE button will turn itself off.

Gliding on one Layer only can be an interesting musical effect.
