Slew Limiter

Smooths abrupt changes in a control signal by limiting how fast it can move, with independent rise and fall times. Applied to pitch it produces portamento and glide, and applied to any modulation it rounds off steps and jumps for gentler movement. Separate up and down rates let attacks and releases be shaped differently.
