Duration

The bottom half of the grid also allows you to set the duration of notes, sustaining them for as
long as you like within the pattern. To do this, simply Control-click (Windows) or Command-
click
(Mac OS X) a step, and drag the mouse to the right. The steps will merge together to
show the note in the first step will be sustained across the merged steps.

To break steps apart, reverse this operation: Control-click (Windows) or Command-click
(Mac OS X) the right-most step, and drag the mouse to the left.

You can do this on every tab except for the Note Offset tab.

In the example below, Step 8 is sustained for five steps, and Step 21 is sustained for five steps.

Glide (Portamento)

Twist's Pattern Generator has the ability to respect your Patches'
Glide setting. When Glide is enabled on a given step (indicated by
the symbol below it), it will glide into the next note in the Pattern
Generator. To enable Glide for a step of an extended duration
(i.e., merged with adjacent steps), enable it below the first step of
that note.

Note: If you enable Glide between two notes with same the Note
Offset value, the second note will not play. You can use Glide only
between two notes with different Note Offset values.
