I have built some arduino/sensor based midi controllers and am using a modified pduino send midi to ableton. I'm not very experienced with pd so looking for advise how I can make the midi smoother to create a portamento sound. Currently it spits out continuous stacatto notes based on what the speed limit object is set to. I'd like to be able to glide between notes. I've seen online about a pd portamento object but can't find it. Thanks for any advice to a novice.

If you need to stay vanilla then I think [poly] and [clone] would allow you not to use the cyclone library.

If that is not exactly what you are looking for then try a google search for "pdpatchrepo portamento"

Also see...... in your Pd installation...... pd\doc\3.audio.examples\3.audio.examples\D06.envelopes.portamento.pd

If an Ableton instrument is making the sound, then you can a/ configure legato glide in the instrument and send overlapping notes normally, or b/ use Pd to generate pitch bend messages.

My MIDI glide objects are for the case where Pd is playing the notes, which isn't the case if you're sending MIDI out from Pd.

Btw the only cyclone dependency is [zl filter] IIRC so it should be easy to vanilla-ize it.
