hello all time to share something.

im not yet good at synthmaker, but i made this lfo module i thought you might find it useful.

it has sinus, saw up, saw down, square and a random generated wave, that is recalculated everytime you select it, its based on the randomwave module i found here.

the lfo can be timesynced based on samplerate / host tempo to different speeds or run free.

additionally you have 5 different output formats, -1/1, 0-1, number of samples and a 1/4-quantized step mode output for -1/1 and 0-1.

have fun 🙂

p.s please tell me if you find errors or improved it.

nice yours too, I particularly enjoyed the ramp direction option which is something quite necessary in a LFO and that the stock one hasn't! Q: Is it also samplerate-proof? Didn't check but I think yes..

nice one thanks,

it's nice to see my custom drop list being used as well 😀

one thing i noticed though is that for the free running your using a different speed(frequency) to the sync mode, i think they should both have the same speed.

as i understand it free running means the lfo never resets and sync means to reset the lfo on every note that is played so it allways starts from the beginning, where a free lfo will start from where ever it currently is in it's cycle. so i see both modes as free running. because the sync'd mode is not actually sync'd to anything, albeit it will be running at the host tempo but it wouldn't be sync'd to it.

cheers 😉

ah yes it uses your custom droplist! sorry i forgot to mention it. in fact your droplist is even better than my lfo:)

to the points: yes sync mode is just synced to host tempo / samplerate. i will update it, with the ppq module i just found. and the free frequency is at different speeds yes.

any tips how to make a ripsaw / spike wave like in nicfits controlfront?

    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.
