One could use portamento, pitch bend, LFOs etc. to acheive glissandos but, I would like some of you to share, with me and others on this site, your ways and means for attaining real sounding glissandos on insturments such as bass, strings etc.
For instance, when you want to slide down into a bass note at the head of a new section for emphasis and hit the note with impact and precision timing, how do you set it up. Even more challenging would be what if you wanted to do it on the first note of the song.
I ask this because I assume there are many solutions to this problem. I tend to use the pitch wheel and do it manually but I would probably benefit from some sound programming techniques.
So...how about it?
