There is a feature that is in another DAW (Fruity Loops) that allows you to SLIDE your notes from one to the next within a single beat or longer. It's actually a feature called 'Slide'. Is there anything similar to this for Logic or does anyone know HOW to do this in Logic? I cannot figure it out at all.

You can see what i'm talking about in this YouTube vid ->

If anyone has figured out how to do it and can help explain it to me it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

 

Unfortunately, Logic does not have a slide/glide note. The closest thing is using is using portamento/glide within the synth.

I replicated the example from the video using ES 1 by putting the glide (left side of the ES 1 window) up a little over 50% and using the same notes as in the video. try different presets/sounds for different results

Another option is automating the pitch bend in the piano roll.

 

What audioooviking said (especially portamento/glide).

 

This feature works only for FL's Stuff, it doesn't work for 3rd party stuff.

 

Aside from the pitch wheel (and its automated equivalent) on a MIDI keyboard, the only way I know of (and have used) in Logic is to use a pitch-shifting plug-in (Logic's is pretty good, but there are better) and drawing the automation curve for the pitch-value accordingly. For example, with the pitch-value automation control selected/displayed draw under a note of the duration of the two "portamented" notes (say, C-to-E) a sloped or micro-stepped (whichever's possible with the pitch-shift plug-in you're using) curve beneath it. This can be done on recorded audio tracks, too, though if you're doing this to a note of more than a few half-steps, it's best to use a pitch plug-in which permits adjustment of the "formant," too, as sublte characteristics of recorded audio change with pitch-shifting.

 

Unfortunately, it's not in there bro...I do hip hop a lot and rnb, so for me too it was a must to have that feature. Keeping the maschine software around for something like this very handy. It does slides perfectly. As that's what I use (maschine studio). That is another option you may consider.
