RE: Emulating Bass Slides
yes glide, slide, that's the ticket. "exponential" means that instead of sliding the pitch at a set speed (linear), it starts fast and slows down as it approaches the note and "rounds out." Many synths are set up to do portamento in this way because it's more natural sounding (it's more like how a real bass player would react between notes). On my Nova, I have the option for linear or exp glide, but not all synths do.
Anyway, you can probably achieve what you want with a +-2 semitone pitchbend.
