You aren’t missing anything.
I also wondered it when I’ve checked this new feature at the first time.
Then I noticed that if I record notes in realtime, the Gxx commands are inputted to the effect column automatically.In other words, if you do step-recording, the glide will be ineffective, so you have to input Gxx commands manually after all…
Well, if you don’t know yet, I recommend the afta8’s templete too.
(if the extension will be “.zip”, change it to “.xrni”.)
