### "Slurs"

- Quote

Post by aishi » Wed May 27, 2015 4:30 am

Is it possible if there could be a way to have notes not reactivate the instrument envelopes following certain notes, like maintain its position in the looping envelopes. I know there is QFX and RFX, but could it perhaps be more intuitive and happen immediately? Perhaps this could be indicated by some kind of symbol in the instrument column?
It's in ppMCK, and I think it would be intuitive for classical musicians. A problem I can see is the system would not know what instrument to use if someone begins to play it without an instrument activated before it.

&& in instrument column, entered by using the note cut key in 0.5.0 beta. (Unlike "no instrument", this is identified with -1 in FTM files, so increasing the instrument limit will not invalidate these pattern data at all.)

One thing to keep in mind about slurs (whether via portamento or note slide) is that it can make the slurred note sound delayed. The only way to compensate for this is to place the slur a little earlier than intended (e.g. one row early).

This is a slur:
In MML dialects, the "&" symbol is often defined to be the slur command, as opposed to the "^" symbol for tie. (If tie uses "&" then slur will use "&&") Some weaker dialects treat the slur as a syntactic sugar for tie, requiring the two notes connected by the slur to have the same pitch, but at least one dialect for the NES implements slurs properly.
Portamento and note slide are not slurs. In musical terms these are at most "continuous" glissandos.

Cool, I didn't know this was implemented already thanks!
