Sampler LFO Lock?
Sampler LFO Lock?
Is there any way to lock Samper's LFO's position to the tempo? In the same way that Autopan does. It's impossible to replicate ryhthmic modulations if the LFO wave is at a different point every time you stop/start live.
Thanks

'retrig' works on every new MIDI note trigger..mrboni wrote:Sorry maybe I wasn't that clear.
Once you have chosen tempo-sync as you say, if retrigger is switched off, the position of the LFO wave will be different every time you stop/start Live.
What I mean is the LFOs don't seem to restart every time you hit play.

he doesn't mean tempo, he means he wants it locked to the timeline.
He wants it so the LFO doesn't start on every note but does restart at the same value on song start. This is most likely because he would like the same result each time.
So that when rendering a song he can be sure that an LFO peak will fall in the same place he expects it to. Did that make sense?

I believe that's what I said..Angstrom wrote:he doesn't mean tempo, he means he wants it locked to the timeline.

@mrboni
I couldn'y say for sure..
I expect it to behave like that though..
you can always ask support..
they'll know for sure..

Re: Sampler LFO Lock?
Sorry to pull this one out of the archives... but hey what the heck? I always thought Sampler's LFO synced to the grid when it was set to beat divisions. ie. every time you press play from 0:00:00 the LFO will retrigger, staying in sync with the timeline.
But this is not the case it seems! The LFO runs independent of the transport controls whether it is in Beat Division or Hz setting.
Is there a way to fix this? I've been freezing and unfreezing the track for 10 minutes trying to catch the LFO down sweep in sync with the arrangement, driving me batty.

Re: Sampler LFO Lock?
Hi, I know this is old, but I'm dealing with this problem as well. The other way around though. I need the hz setting to lock to the arrangement's timeline.
So far I've found a workaround. Automate a switch between hz and sync at a given place, I suggest the beginning of the track and the lfo will start from "scratch".
This works fine for the first 30s of the track, but as soon as I am working further along the timeline the problem arises again. The lfo is giving different results than if the track is playing from the beginning.
Another workaround could be to edit very small automation points switching it on and off again, but this in turn results in a retrig of the lfo, which does not work for freestanding time (hz).
The latter method will however in theory work for the above problem with regards to synced lfo's, just calculate your cycles accordingly.
The above problem applies for all lfo'able devices.
Could there be a way to sort this with a m4l device?

Re: Sampler LFO Lock?
once again bring this thread out of the archive, why is this a problem, this sucks.
Re: Sampler LFO Lock?
I need a answer too! Going to audio work once you got your rythm but if I want to change the sound of the instrument then I have to re record the new sound... But I think it's the only way.
