How do I get it to attack each pitch without these little glissandi?" You have to leave a small time delay between the bend command and the note you want to play bent. It varies between systems, but my PC/SoundBlaster 32 needs 20 ms. I assume that this is simply the processing time required by the microcode in the synth/soundcard. At present I tune 11 channels at the beginning of each recording and simply put a 1/16th note rest at the beginning, which seems to be adequate for all systems. It sure complicates the programming for tuning each note in real time!
