i noticed a possible bug: it happened that after creating a new keygroup program (with the auto sampler feature by the way, but i don't think its relevant) the legato portamento mode wasn't working: it always glided, even when playing staccato. i saved the program, created a new project, reloaded the program and it worked. it happened a couple of times, still not sure if its always happening (have to do more tests).
handed wrote:Aha, I get it. That is super disappointing. So maybe it's not a bug, just a missing feature that is pretty standard elsewhere.
In other samplers I've used (Maschine, Ableton, others) the legato setting when used with portamento means that the pitch slides between notes without retriggering the samples or envelopes from the beginning, allowing for a smooth fade between pitches. Kind of like a smooth automatic pitchbend between notes. Works super well in Maschine and sounds great, so definitely missing it in MPC land.
i know it's an old post but i wanted to point out that the legato mode of glide\portamento is a different thing from the legato\retrigger behaviour of envelopes, the two distinct features are usually kept separated in different areas of the synth\sampler. example: in Ableton's Analog synth you find the legato option for glide on the right of the synth, last panel (global),just underneath the glide parameter, while the legato\retrigger option for envelopes is located in the various envelope areas of the black central display (amp 1 & 2 envelopes, filter 1 & 2 envelope).
