theElevators Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Hey peeps. I could have sworn I stumbled upon a portamento effect in the past, but can't find it anymore. Is there such a thing on the Helix? Basically, if you play individual notes, it converts them into a glissando effect... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Are you referring to the PolyWham effect? See Jason’s vid at 20:52 - see if that is what you mean. Or, was it possibly this 3 Osc Synth effect @ 1:59 Hope this helps/makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theElevators Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 Poly Wham is great. I was talking about an effect that if you play notes, Helix connecting them with a glissando effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PierM Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Portamento it's based on a slew limiter algorithm (or circuit) that does interpolate two voltages, so it's pretty much connected to CVs and Synths. You can't do that to just audio, without a conversion to Control Voltages, and Helix doesn't do that. Unless you don't convert audio to Pitch to CV, you can't do any portamento. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope - don't think that's in the Helix - maybe you imagined it? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great 3 piece outfit in their time, Keith and Greg are both sadly missed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 OMG, they were an incredible band. I listened to ELP and King Crimson and Genesis over and over and over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
