awww the forever king of portamento is patrick adams! atmosphere strut or spaced out are my favorites :) but in techno world i would have to put drexciya, juan, eddie fowlkes, kms, and ron cook (just for ffwd!) in the top 5 :P :) there' s an awful lot of people who pull out some dope portamento tho...

i thought people were actually talking about pitch bending tho, a la warped strings in RiR icon...or uhh...drexciya's darthouven fishmen!! stuff like that..

2 slightly different sounds i guess, i love em both...

I think he is referring to Portamento or Glide which means when you play 2
notes or chords after each other. Instead of hearing two distinct sounds
the
pitch 'glides' (either up or down) from the original pitch to the new one
at
a rate specified by the amount of portamento set. A similar sound can be
made by using the pitch bend wheel.

Most of the Roland groove boxes (tb303 and 202 etc) have a slide function
which creates this effect also, and most analog and virtual analog
keyboards
have portamento.

Check paperclip people - oscillator for classic portamento slide.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is a pitch slide?
