Drawing glissando with notes

Ability to draw notes in one continuous sweep of the mouse.
When mouse is held down, notes are being drawn automatically.

You do know that you can grab the end of any note ad drag it to any length? That is almost the same

Besides that, since you are new in Forum

I'm thinking on something like this.

When you draw a imaginable curve on the screen with the mouse, notes are rendered in LMMS space on that curve in one sweep of the mouse.

Haeh.. :^]
Would you believe it.....
It can already be done!
  • Set Q to 1/192 i the piano-roll you want to use
    Open the instrument UI
    Press note-record in the piano-roll
    press and hold your mouse and move the mouse up and down over the UI-keyboard while pressed
Every note you touch is captured in a continuous sequence of notes. The note-length depends on how fast you move the mouse
I did that but it is not recorded in continuous notes. What am I doing wrong?

"continuous note"
I think you mean like slide in frequency?
So everything is one long raise and fall of the 'pitch' ?
Perhaps you are trying to remake BeachBoys Good-Vibrations?

Is that the sound you are looking for?

To do that like i suggested, then That need portamento -But the sound is not made like that. This is the sound of an extremely strange instrument -a Theremin
you can google it
There are VST-versions, but have you tried to use one single long note, and then manipulate PITCH? That could be an alternative

For The portamento way you can use zasfx or LB303 Both has portamento 'slide-notes' -so does most VSTs
I think you don't understand me.
I was describing glissando with keys. In LLMS as you would slide mouse, notes would be drawn automatically.

oh now i know what you forget
You must set note-capture, before you do the mouse-drag:

Click the piano-roll-capture button, and then drag your mouse, then you get the result from the video, and my posted picture
Could you add ability to draw notes on screen UI in one continous sweep holding the mouse down?

That key-combo is already in use
Why is it you cant use the method i have suggested?
You only have to do it once, then you can save the perfect sweep(s) and import them in any project
If you cant make a good recording, let us know, then i can make a template for you with glissandos, similar as in the video


In fact we gave both completely botch this up :p We both have had thoughts of this, as if it was an instrument, it is not, it is a design task!
The case need to be approached as a piano-roll / DAW task, and then it becomes very simple
Firstly, a glissando is only white keys. We omit all the blacks
And there is no dragging of mouse either, we simply insert 7 notes with exact distance. That distance will determine the glissando speed. I find that 1/64 creates a perfect rock-a-billy glissando, just as in the video.
..And then simply copy the 7 notes to the next octave :p
Do that 5 times, and you have a perfect glissando
If you ned a tutorial just let me know
