LFO Global Module
Posted: Sat Jul 02, 2011 9:42 am
Announcing the LFO (global) mod!
Yes, Modul8 is riddled with LFO's (low frequency oscillators), and I've never really been short of one when I needed it, but years of working/playing with analogue synthesis has made me become quite comfortable with the idea of a global LFO available from every point in the system, which is what I have done with this mod.
As you may notice, it's been developed from the BPM Router code, so those of you used to using this should find it quite familiar.
You'll find it in the online library (within the Modul8 app itself - modules menu - online library - public library).
Entitled: (at) LFO (global) v1.0
also: (at) LFO Router (layer) v1.0 and (master)
Specifics:
The mod contains 2 LFO's and one BPM controlled waveform. LFO 2 has the option of being modulated by LFO 1, giving rise to quite complex waveforms, and all three can be applied to your selected controllers in varying amounts in the router modules.
The mod makes the values of the LFO's available through the shared dictionary. Details of how to use this are in the info section of the module itself. But if you need any help I'll be glad to help.
I shall be writing a more extensive manual on the mods on my website. In due course.
Have fun!

ps. Just noticed a small bug - when LFO1 or 2 are active the BPM waveform is also turned on, bypassing the BPM play button. Will look into it.
