Default which instrument can do fast slides and vibrato

which instrument can do fast slides and vibrato

without a lot of physical movement

for example guitar u have to move your hands quite a bit to make slides from low to high notes and its not convenient to keep doing that in quick successions

i guess i'm looking for a woodwind but i would prefer if it wasn't really note based...but rather a continuous stream like a fretless bass

swanee whistle...hmmm now that i see it maybe i won't be able to hit a single note on that on purpose lol

i guess a synth too yea.. although i was aiming to a bit more control of portamento usually at synths u set it at one speed for all notes i guess for playing in real time.. but i'll look into it maybe there's more control

Yes indeed. Takes some serious skill to play correctly. It doesn't work on breath though.

That's such a nebulous question. Maybe you want an MPE controller or EWI if you wish to experiment?
You can program synth sounds with very little attack, and add wide range of pitch bend.

Ondes Martenot might appeal!

Poor woman. Ignorant bastards just went right on playing instead of taking her to the hospital.
