How is that possible ?

i am trying using the TimeInfo Module connected to the standard pre-built LFO, but i need to convert Tempo (BPM) into Hertz...which is the usual formula ? and therefore, toi sync to 1/4 th note, is it just enough to divide Hertz/4 ???

should I just divide Tempo by 60 ????

If you divide beats/minute by seconds/minute, you get beats/second, which is the same as hz, so yes, divide by 60 🙂

thanks stefan, I think i got it... i made a modification to the standard LFo which adds sync to host tempo (from 1/16...to 16/4)..i simply multiplied the hertz by partials (like 0.25 for 1/4th note)...I am testing it in cubase and looks like it's working good... putting finishing touches, will post it in some minutes...

SM has a 'Capture' command under the view menu. It will grab only the schematic part and offer you a save dialog.

If you make the schematic part of the user interface smaller you can grab what you want without using any other application...

As far as I can tell your schematic works as expected.

You could increase the max rate of the variable LFO - 1 Hz is pretty slow for most uses I would think.

But this can be done from the properties.

Alternately you could use a centre based dial that takes the basic rate from tbe beat values and alters that... or not. 😉

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
