303 Style step sequencer slide accent using midi/cc?

Hi im making a midi step sequencer thats pretty much the same style as a 303....original i know! :P Anyway the bulk of it is pretty much done except a few bits and bobs.

What has been causing me issues is trying to patch a slide accent using just midi as this is just a control for my outboard synth gear and as such will have no audio running through it.

I did try portamento but was unsuccessful as its a monophonic step sequencer and the notes do not overlap and discounted pitch bend for obvious reasons.

Any suggestions?

i´d use just a control change for that kind of stuff - of course you must make sure
that it is sent out always before the note on.
