Indeed they can. Open "help" in FLS and search for "Slide event - Piano Roll". About midway down the page or just beyond you'll find a concise explanation and a graphic. Basically, you drag out your note(s) and put a slide event above them at the timepoint and note name where you want the slide to start (you double click on a note event to get the box where the slide toggle switch is located, but know this: that note is like a marker and doesn't make sound, it just represents the place where the pitch bend automation is to land because it's the note below it or above it that is actually where the midi "note on" occurs).

It has to be a native FL generator, though, but I don't know if FL Slayer will work (I have the real Slayer 2, so I don't really know for sure).

Here's a little file that demonstrates it using Sytrus.

thanx very much for the help. No it doesnt work with fl slayer. How about slayer 2? Can you have notes slide with that plugin?

Unfortunately, no. Only the native FL generators seem to work with that feature. However, have a look at the formula controller in FL and also just regular pitch bend automation. It's not terribly difficult to bend a note in FL, so you could do it that way with any VSTi.

What I am trying to accomplish, is remaking a new Bon Jovi song which is "Seat Next to You", I can play a little rhythm guitar but not any lead. If you want you can listen to what Im trying to get done.... In the beginning of the song you will hear the picking and the lead slide. So Im hoping I can do this with the pitch bend automation. Ty Shane, I will try it out.

If I had known you were gonna use the knowledge for evil, I would have remained silent.
