Description

Issue type

General playback bug

Description with steps to reproduce

Repro:

  1. Add a glissando from one note to another for a string instrument (MS Basic)

Expected:

  • The transition should be smooth, and there should be no accent / click / blip / pop sound when the target note starts playing

Actual:

  • The target note playback starts with some kind of a percussion sound. MuseSounds instrument seem to work perfectly fine, but in MS Basic they just don't really sound like a glissando, but rather like a transition with the second note played as a completely new one, or even by adding some kind of a percussion sound to accent it.
