Polyphonic glide

Is there a way to do pitch glide without using the pitch bender, ribbon or portamento? I have other synths that do this via a pitch envelope. ie make a chord glide from a step above or below and land on the correct pitch over a set period of time while also resetting to the assigned step above/below each time a new chord or note is pressed.

Theres a pitch envelope on the Gemini. Dont have it in front of me, but to the right of lfo1 section

You can either direct an envelope or single-cycle LFO to pitch to achieve this.

Hmm still seems to not be giving me what I’m looking for. For example I play and hold a chord. I want the pitch to glide from below up a whole step to the chord I’m actually playing and stay there for as long as I’m holding the chord.

With the LFO implementation it runs the entire cycle from the lower step, up to my pitch, then back down to the lower step rather than just staying at the pitch I’m holding.

Use lfo 1 with a ramp shape and a single cycle.

Thanks a lot for the replies, I figured it out. I had to toggle the loop switch in Env 1 to correctly affect the depth, thus allowing me to adjust the glide via attack/decay
