I usually take a long white noise sample and do all the modulation with effects, automated in my sequencer.

i find massive very good for this - with all the modulation options etc.

normally just assign pitch to an envelope.

portamento would get rid of those steps. Then draw the notes rather than automation.

Rich have you tried increasing the resolution of the pitchbend data?

Would using an envelope on the pitch (instead of pitchbend) get rid of the stepping i wonder??

forget about what I said before shit is definitely steppin, didn't do enough testing before posting the stepping is obvious in a higher octave


in Absynth there is a 'lag' control next to the pitch bend amount which smooths it out, if that helps any
