I'm having a problem though, I seem to have a different sound when I automate the LFO sync rate to what I should hear. When I move the lfo sync rate from 1/8 to 1/16 manually I get an increased cycle rate but when I adjust in automation envelopes I get the total opposite as you will be able to hear in my patch.

Does anybody have the answer to this? I'm sure this has happened on other parameters before and I have just ignored it but now I'm really understanding operator abit more I want to know this.

I've been able to get some brutal wobbles out of just native instruments.

one mistake I've found is DON'T use a LP filter. your low end never gets cut and you wont feel the wobble.

I generally start in operator by layering some wavs to taste lots of octaves till it sounds nice n noisy.

I generally use a band pass wobbling around 250-600hz that will give you the beginning of a good wobble.

then i stick a chord in front of the operator, playing an octave above and below. then I dick with some eq, normally pulling the mids out to give it that metal guitar type feeling. add a wee bit of saturation, and that should give you a really nice wubble.

www.onlinemusicnetwork.ca/dartmouthian any of these songs use that technique somewhere.
