The Bela.io Gliss is a clever little module for adding expressive control to your modular synth. It's fantastic for sequencing, generating evolving textures, or just adding a more tactile feel to parameter adjustments – especially if you're into generative music and want a compact solution. It’s a great entry point to tactile control for those new to modular.

Frequently Asked Questions

It visually represents incoming signals, showing their position relative to a user-defined scale, making it easy to see if a signal is in tune or needs adjustment. The accuracy depends on the input signal and your calibration.
Yes, an external trigger input can initiate playback of recorded gestures, offering rhythmic sequencing possibilities. The trigger response is fairly snappy, but there's a slight latency inherent in the playback engine.
It accepts signals ranging from -5V to +10V, making it compatible with most Eurorack outputs. Like any module, it’s susceptible to noise if the power supply is noisy or ground loops are present.
