GLIDE
Dual slew limiter / portamento
4 HPEurorackDIYActive
A compact dual slew limiter in 4 HP: when the input jumps, the output follows smoothly at a constant rate — portamento, gentle envelopes and soft transitions between CV values.
What's in the box
1 × GLIDE PCB with all SMD components already soldered
1 × GLIDE front panel, 4 HP (black)
4 × potentiometer
4 × 3.5 mm jack with nut
1 × 10-pin power header
1 × power cable
You only solder the potentiometers, the jacks and the power header (through-hole).
Features
- Two independent channels, A and B, each with its own RISE and FALL knobs
- IN B is normalled to IN A — one CV, two different glides
- Linear slope: constant rate in V/s
- Time range from about 1 ms per 1 V to about 21 s per 10 V
- Portamento on sequencer pitch CV, envelopes from gates (RISE = attack, FALL = release), LFO shaping, smoothing random voltages
- Reverse-polarity protection diodes on both rails
