Simpler Synth, LFO envelope

Post by DanRxDrums » Thu Jul 07, 2011 7:04 pm

So I built a synth using simpler, but would like to put an envelope on the LFO% on a few clips that way I can keep the synth under 1 track instead of duplicated it and using more CPU. Any ideas? I see LFO rate, sync rate, attack, etc...but nothing that will engage or dis-engage the actual LFO.
HELP!

Thanks

click on the title bar of the simpler and ctrl+option....it should bring down a menu....change your simpler to a sampler....you should find everything you need there.

I did that, however when I change the LFO% on one clip, it changes it on all of them.

Haven't used sampler much so you might have to spell this one out for me.

Thanks

oh i see.....the lfo% is midi mappable....so you can map it to a knob on your apc40 and adjust per clip...the lfo on/off switch is midi mappable too....you can map it to a key on your keyboard on your laptop and push to disable or enable....or you can build an instrument rack with samplers with different settings on different chains then you can map the chain selector to a macro on the instrument rack which should be controlled by your apc.....
yeah.....unfortunately the instrument in that track will control all of the clips in said track.
