how to create classic glide/portamento?

Hi

I want to create a portamento effect in a synth. I tried using a lowpassfilter on the signal before it reaches the oscillator, but it did off course not work, because the filter works on audio signals.

Any tips?

Thanks

It's hard to say without seeing your patch, but line will probably do what you want. It interpolates between numbers.

also look at curve~
for variable portamento shapes

Thanks, but where do i adjust amount of portamento?

I am yet not able to create a glide effect

Here is my portamento abstraction using curve~

It takes an argument for initial glide time.
