To pique interest, a quick example.

After installing the test-tempbus.sc extension from
https://gist.github.com/jamshark70/7571ef65cb3aef58ff14b014b672c91b
then the following works:

(
p = Pbind(
    \type, \notemap,
    \dur, Pexprand(0.1, 0.8, inf),
    \legato, Pexprand(0.5, 3.0, inf),
    \freqEndpoints, Pexprand(200, 1200, inf).clump(2),
    \pan, Pwhite(-1.0, 1.0, inf),
    \detunedFreq, Pfunc { |ev|
        var sustain = ev.use { ~sustain.value } / thisThread.clock.tempo;
        (
            instrument: \ctlEnv,
            env: Env(ev[\freqEndpoints], [1], \exp),
            time: sustain,
            addAction: \addBefore
        )
    }
).play;
)

p.stop;

So we get sliding notes, but the important thing is what is not necessary to do:

- This example does not have to produce control-change events quickly
-- the time granularity of the Pbind is still per note.

- This example does not have to make any changes to the default
SynthDef -- you write the note and control SynthDefs in a normal,
simple way, and the event connects them automatically.

\detunedFreq is a bother -- I'm not sure when I would have time to
improve that. This isn't high on my priority list -- I would welcome
suggestions on this issue.
