Operator LFO "Bump" Problem?

Post by mylkoa » Thu Aug 10, 2006 6:42 am

I searched the archive and couldn't find any mention of my problem.

When using the LFO section of operator to modulate pitch, it sounds like the LFO has an extra "bump" when it gets to the low end of it's cycle. To hear what I'm talking about...

Load a default Operator.

Activate the LFO.

Turn up the Mod amount to 85 (default is 25).

Hear the bump?

That's not "normal". It sounds fine at 65... the way it's supposed to, but past that, the tone gets a weird bump in it.

I used to have a Nord Modular, and I use Reaktor now. I have made this simple patch many times over and I'm certain that bump isn't supposed to be there.

Anyone have suggestions or an explination?

BTW, using Osc B to modulatte Osc A's pitch (instead of the LFO) sounds perfect...

Thanks,
Andy

Ha! I can't believe I've never noticed that.

It happens with most of the LFO shapes.

They should fix that.

Seriously, how could I not notice that before? It's freakin' me out.

Simple observations are my specialty ;)

The LFO is weird, isn't it?

I think I'm going to stick to Reaktor for the bulk of my sonic learning/exploring.

Are there any places that users post cool operator/impulse/simpler patches?
