Sliding on Scarbee Rick Bass

I have three Scarbee basses: J-Bass, P-Bass, and Rick.  I love them all.  One question about the Rick (my favorite):
 
The somewhat cryptic directions for creating a slide articulation say this:  "To trigger a slide, play a note legato while holding the sustain pedal pressed."
 
I think this means: play a note, hit the sustain pedal, and then play a slightly second note so the first one slightly overlaps it.
 
I can't get this to work.  I've tried putting the sustain even before note 1, on note 1, slight after note 1, and right in-between notes 1 and 2.  I have quantized the notes and also tried making note 1 a few ticks longer so it overlapped.  I have also tried this in different ranges, all of which would be possible to slide on a physical bass.  Any ideas?
 
PS No issues with the other articulations, so I must be doing something simple wrong.

Sharke-man, That thread may actially help.  I may need to use a keyswitch to force the bass to stay on the same string.  I will mess around and report back. 
 
These are the details that slow down mixes—last minute ideas for improvements..

Hi, Konrad. Although I don't know if I've tried it yet with the Rick, that's exactly how it works with the other Scarbee basses.
 
Check your string selection to make sure the note you're trying to slide to can be played on that string. When it hasn't worked for me, that's been the reason.
 
Say you're trying to slide down to a low E, but you're starting on the A string. It can't be done in the real world, so Scarbee has it programmed so it can't be done on his basses - at least not by default. Maybe there's a setting that allows for this, but I haven't come across it. The thing to do would be to have the slide start on the E string, so it can end on the E string.
 
Hope this helps.

Hey, guys.  I did try the keyswitch to force the string selection and still didn't have good results.  I will try again with a fresh mind and maybe I will see what's wrong.
 
By the way:
 
• If Scarbee says "A0" for example, does that mean "A2" to Sonar?  I tried keyswitches in different octaves and I think Scarbee is two octaves below Sonar nomenclature.
• Are the keyswitches meant to be held down?  (This varies by manufacturer and function.)
 
Thanks!

Hi, Konrad. Not sure if it's A0 or A2, but, if I recall correctly, selecting the A string would be done by playing the A in the octave below the low E note.
 
Also, not sure about holding the key down, but, if you program it to play at the same time as the note the slide is starting from, it should work.
