To my knowledge... no it's not, but, on some vsti, you have a slide function, so you could use that

slide is a monophonic portamento between 2 notes over an amount of time with a certain speed ( as the time it takes to get from one note to another ). The 303 is the most popular synth that uses a slide. In the step editor of the tb you can extend the slide by setting a bunch notes along side to have them slide all, when in low octave range this will form a nice bassline ( hence the 303 bassline ).

when your in piano roll make sure you overlap the notes as you change them in the melody. After they are overlapping then set the portamento or slide to where you desire. It wont work usually when the notes arent overlapping

That's basicaly the manual approach to it, the sustaining slide effect comes from using 1 voice only, so the next note pressed while holding the other will take over but something like an filter envelope will not retrigger.

Sygma, with regards to slide in vsts - ive got the a vst loaded into a channel in FL and have a midi out channel to write in piano roll and im trying to link one of the controllers to the slide of the vst so i can automate it but its a guessin game - is there a way to find out what the controller numbers are??
