Overview
What is MonoKey?
MonoKey - A VST Module Architecture 1.0 MIDI plugin that emulates fingered portamento for synths.
In depth
A closer look at MonoKey
Many older synthesizers (for example Roland's Alpha Juno-1/2) only offers a portamento switch to turn portamento on or off. When it is on, all notes will have portamento, even single notes. MonoKey enables fingered portamento, i.e portamento will only be active for notes that overlap. It does so by selectively sending standard MIDI portamento on/off controller messages. For this to work effectively, your synth should be in monophonic or unison mode. The only parameter is "portamento" which sets the portamento speed. It can be either "off" or 0-127. If it is "off" portamento speed is left untouched, 0-127 sends portamento speed 0-127 to the synth.
