Hey ,
Besides NN-XT by increasing the Portamento, is there other methods of sliding an 808? Are there other racks that have the feature of sliding 808?

The time has come for you to take care and comb your hair.
Portamento is really the main way. That's where the glide comes from. Any reason you don't want to use portamento?

I don't really feel it like sliding in FL Studio as I came to Reason from this DAW. In FL all you have to do is to activate Legato Slide option and you are good to go (as in screenshot below). In NN-XT, I can't figure out the best portamento settings to get the same effect of sliding as in FL.
Maybe I am doing something wrong, if that is the case then I would like to know how the other producers are doing it in Reason.
You are not doing something wrong at all. I love the sliding in FL studio for 808s as well and unfortunately you can't replicate the same effect in Reason. My method is a hit-or-miss where I enable portamento and try different high pitched- notes until I find the one that sounds both right and harmonic. If I don't I try another 808.Molotovbeatz wrote: ↑22 Aug 2019I don't really feel it like sliding in FL Studio as I came to Reason from this DAW.

But yeah, FL Studio is a beast at that
Got it, yeah portamento can sound different one instrument to another. You can try using Grain. Not sure if the portamento is different, but I prefer Grain to NNXT for 808s.Molotovbeatz wrote: ↑22 Aug 2019I don't really feel it like sliding in FL Studio as I came to Reason from this DAW.

Okay, thank you guys. So I was not wrong about FL having so far the best 808 sliding option. I will give grain a try, also I found this on YT, perhaps it could be helpful for some people as well.
Yes forgot to tell you about this method. But again, even this method unfortunately, Reason is way behind compared to FL and Ableton. They both have this option with far more controls.Molotovbeatz wrote: ↑23 Aug 2019Okay, thank you guys. So I was not wrong about FL having so far the best 808 sliding option.

If you're into Future Beats,. Phonk, Trap, Reason is perhaps the least option I'd suggest to you. FL and Ableton are far superior.
Just like the link you sent to make longer 808s, this tut shows you how to do it on FL like a Phonk artist called Kloudbug. And, sonically, it just sounds much better.
