LFOs in Live

[radiato5]

I'm using live 8 (and barely learning)....I want to be able to control effects parameters with LFOs. As far as I can tell, Live doesn't itself offer this. If that's right, then is there a simple, cheap plug-in solution? What do you recommend?

[mbird21]

Hey mate, you mean for example say you using a delay fx and you want to automate the feedback to 1/4 etc with a sync lfo?.

[radiato5]

Yes, that's one thing I want to do. Also want non-sync lfo's, if those have a name.

[mbird21]

If it is what you mean then not what i know of some ableton fx have modulation controls on them already, but as for a lfo effect in itself that you can then use as a plug in fx and route to whatever you want i dont think thats possible, if it is someone can put me right.

Anyway if you scroll down this board theres a thread about maschine, one of the dudes called Razorblade posted a link up for something similar to what you are wanting, i havint tried it yet meself so i dont know much about it but looks great and might be what you looking for!.

LFO tool is very mediocre compared to Midishaper, by cableguys:

if you're on OSX, you could also try this freebie:

first off..
an unlinked... looped...'clip envelope'... IS AN LFO
.. only 1 per parameter though.. but could be a complex plot..

m4l got loads of freaky modulators as stated before!

Obviously you wouldn't waste your time with Max for Live if all you wanted it for was the LFO.

Haven't tried it myself yet, but in the (free( pzMidi / pizMidi pack I see a "midiSimpleLFO" vst that will LFO midi CC's.
So I imagine you'd have to:
1. Midi-map the parameter you want to CC X
2. Drop this VST on a track and manage to get the midi CC's "back" to Ableton somehow, not sure if it'd work.

Edit: Yeah, seems I can't get this to work at all in Ableton, sorry.
