Hello, On my T4 if you play legato, play a note then the same note an octave above (or below) and the voice will slide up into the new note. Difficult to describe. You must be MONO to get the effect. The Wav file is the Silver Trumpet SA voice.

Hi Denn,
In this instance you are not triggering a S.Articulation effect!
What you are actually doing by turning on the MONO button is enabling Portamento, and assuming that the Portamento Time is set higher than zero in the Voice Set, you will get a 'slide' between any two notes played legato, not just an octave apart! If the notes are very close together the slide may be too quick to perceive, but it is there!
This is not confined to S.Art voices, any voice type other than S.Articulation2 and OrganFlutes can produce this effect if the Portamento Time is higher than zero and MONO is turned on. If Harmony is turned on for the voice, this can interfere with the effect.
For those voices that you can use like this, there is a difference between the S.Art and the other types! For S.Art voices the effect only applies if you play legato and so you can chose to trigger it or not by your playing style. However, for the other voice types that can be used with the portamento effect, the last note played is remembered and used as the start note of the next slide, even if you play staccato! This means that you will always get a slide to the next note that you play (assuming that it is a different note), even if there has been a period when no notes were played for that voice part! This can catch you out in some situations!
The S.Articulation2 voices usually don't allow you to turn on MONO or adjust the Portamento Time, so you can't trigger the above effect with them, but many of them already contain an auto glissando effect, triggered if two notes are played legato, a seventh to an octave apart.
