GLIDE

The library

Sounds for your card

Eighteen sounds rolled, evolved and played on the maker's own GLIDE. Real keepers from real sessions, not factory output. Put them on a card and they're yours.

Loading never overwrites anything.

A sound from the card plays as the live sound. Your ten slots stay exactly as they were until you choose to save over one. Try everything.

How

Card to instrument in three steps

1

Put the file in a glide folder on the microSD card.

Create the folder at the root of the card if it isn't there. Any card the Cardputer already reads will do. Keep the file's name as it comes: Save to SD names a file from the sound's own name, so if the two disagree you end up with two files holding one sound.

2

On the device: settings → Load from SD.

Press tab, open LIBRARY, choose the sound. It auditions with a short lick and becomes the live sound. Play it.

tab LIBRARY Load from SD
3

Keep it on the instrument, if you want to.

fn+shift+q..p saves the live sound over that slot. Skip this and the card stays the library and the ten slots stay yours. How the slots, the * and undo all behave is in the playing guide.

They survive updates and travel card to card

Every file here uses the same tagged format as the ten slots and your own Save to SD files. A slot, a library patch and a Discord attachment are the same thing. Installing a new GLIDE cannot touch them.

The factory bank, on a card

already on your device

You have these on fn+q..i already. They're here so you can hand one to someone, or fork one without spending a slot.

GLIDEfn + q

Synth brass on a plain saw: the filter attacks into each note, so it swells into its own blat. The boot tone.

GLIDE.gpat

ACIDfn + w

The resonant 303 squelch. Tilt is the wah.

ACID.gpat

Organfn + e

Drawbar organ, leslie shimmer, near-full sustain. Sits under a solo.

Organ.gpat

Taserfn + r

Open saw plus sub. Key-tracking darkens it as you play up; leaning swells the echo.

Taser.gpat

Crisp Hornfn + t

Bright reed horn that sings its own 7-cent vibrato without you leaning.

Crisp Horn.gpat

Fat Squarefn + y

Punchy square, bright per-note filter bloom, a noise knock on the attack.

Fat Square.gpat

Hollowfn + u

Driven square through a notch filter. Phasey rather than dark.

Hollow.gpat

Bigfn + i

Highpass square ringing at a 261 Hz corner: hollow and enormous at once.

Big.gpat
Ten

Never shipped in the bank

card only

Beds to solo over, two more acids, a comet, and the three presets that left the bank when it was recut, kept so nothing you liked went away with an update.

Backingcard

Bright buzzy bed: chorus, a sixteenth-note delay and a big hall. Tilt is the swell.

Backing.gpat

Dry Bedcard

The opposite bed: dark detuned saws, gentle, completely dry.

Dry Bed.gpat

Slow Tidecard

A one-second swell over a sub, screaming highpass, quarter-note regen.

Slow Tide.gpat

Nasal Bloomcard

Pulse through a bandpass way up at 7 kHz. Thin and vocal, blooms in slowly.

Nasal Bloom.gpat

Fuzzy Cometcard

Sustaining square, near-instant glide. The reverb tail blooms on the mod envelope and on pitch bend: the bend is the comet trail.

Fuzzy Comet.gpat

Brasscard

Saw section: the filter attacks into each note and the mod envelope pushes drive as it opens, hall behind it.

Brass.gpat

Raw Acidcard

Acid taken slow and mean: a 0.3 s swell into drive, resonant, on a quarter-note regen.

Raw Acid.gpat

Etherealcard

Soft triangle pad, long glide, roomy hall. The old t.

Ethereal.gpat

Basscard

Fat pulse bass, sub for weight, snappy filter pluck. The old e.

Bass.gpat

Solocard

Bright always-gliding square lead, eighth-triplet delay. The old r.

Solo.gpat

The patches folder in the repo

Every file above, plus whatever's been added since this page was written. Download the folder, or the whole repo as a zip, and copy the .gpat files into /glide on your card.

Sharing what your device rolled

Settings → Save to SD writes the live sound to the card as a .gpat file, offering the sound's own auto-name (warm-haze-3f) or whatever you type. That file is the whole sound: drop it in the Discord and anyone can put it on their card. Two of your slots, o and p, were rolled from a seed no other unit has, so a save from either is a sound that has never existed anywhere else.

Load one, then make it yours

Everything here is a starting point. Load it, then Mutate in settings nudges it somewhere new while Undo keeps the original a tap away. The sound design guide is the long version.
