Naive question about audio rate modulation
Posted: Mon Apr 08, 2024 12:51 pm
So, I was thinking of the fact that a "x10" toggle was added to the LFO's frequency.
I was wondering if I could simply automate/modulate a parameter with an audio signal. Like, plug a signal directly to [live.remote~]. My tests using an Operator Sine as a modulation source to modulate another Operator's frequency show that it's not working properly. I mean, it works, the param gets modulated, the CPU doesn't go crazy, but the "FM" is not as it should be.
I'm not sure what's happening, if the signal is downsampled inside [live.remote~] or whatever.
I was kind of expecting that it wouldn't be reliable, but I'd be curious to know more about it, technically.
