Does Electric have a vibrato function at all? I dont see any.


Looks like using a Vibrato Audio Effect is the way to go :)

Do you have max4live? There are a few midi devices that allow you to assign aftertouch, mod, etc to any parameter in Live.

Do you have https://www.ableton.com/en/packs/max-live-essentials/ ?

I believe one of the midi ones receives mod wheel, and let's you assign it to any parameter.

I'm not at my computer this second.

The closest i get is this:

I mapped the output of the LFO Plugin to the detune of Electric.

You could just map the modwheel of your controller to the depth parameter of the LFO.
Depending on your Controller, it is static or dynamic, (am i correct?)

I would try some extreme chorus settings first before resorting to m4l.
Or maybe even the frequency shifter with the LFO going and just make the amt a tad, though that might not sound realistic, maybe it'll still sound cool...

I believe the fold-out of LFO contains a modwheel and Aftertouch mapping already.
Hit the little blue arrow thingy.
