In this Patchwerks video, synthesist Matthew Piecora takes a look at using the Elektron Octatrack as an acid bassline synthesizer.
The video is from a live stream for 303 Day, and the presentation starts at about 1:30 in.
Piecora demonstrates how you can use single-cycle waveforms and the Octatrack’s filter to make 303 style sounds. Unlike the original 303, though, the Octatrack is designed to let you create complete tracks.

i never got this kind of acid; only the microdot/windowpane kind.
I’ll save you some time: No, there isn’t any glide. It’s still pretty impressive how musical the OT’s filters are for a sampler though.
Yes there is

they’re different, though having this on the OT is certainly fine for basic types
There IS glide although i’m not sure if glide time is adjustable. Check at 16min.
glide can be achieved by parameter locking and sliding the tuning per step or across a range of steps
