Midi slide to note

[Soundmuffin]

Hi! I have just started using WaveForm and it is looking promising.

I have a choir midi track. I would like it to slide between notes. Like blend smoothly. How can i achieve that?

Thanks for your time!

Mostly it depends on the instrument, but usually it is a matter of overlapping the MIDI notes and turning on portamento, you could also draw in a pitch bend on the controller section of the MIDI editor ( you will have to zoom in a lot to make this smooth tho ) .

What is your choir instrument, is it in a sampler or a VST ?

I'm using VST called Sonatina Choir. I'm not so sure how to use portamento or pitch bend. As i understand, i'm supposed to click "controller" tool and then draw a line with line tool? However, i hear no difference by doing that.

I don't believe the Sonatina choirs support portamento: it's a simplified (free) plugin with very limited features.

I think pitch bend should work. You'll need either a hardware controller that can do pitch bends, or you'll need to draw them in by hand in the controller window within the MIDI editor. Make sure the controller window is the one for pitch bends, otherwise MIDI won't know what to do with the lines you're drawing in.
