Midi Clock to LFO?

2004-07-26 by Alessandro Cortini

Hello all,

finally received my Integrator and have a couple of questions already.


I have a rythmic patch whose tempo is dictated by an LFO, and I would
like to sync the LFO  
to a bpm coming from Logic Audio, through my RS140 Midi-CV converter.

So far I have been able to assign midi clock to the Trigger 1 output,
and it receives it fine, 
but is seems it is too quick, or in other words, the MIDI clock
doesn't necessary transmit a 
BPM that can be translated in CV for the Linear input of the LFO.

I couldn't find any useful info on the manual,besides using breves as
a subdivision for the 
clock, but it is still too fast.
(my logic session is at 80 bpm, the patch itself is "around 
80,with the LFO blinking quarter notes).

Can I actually use midi clock in the cv in of the LFO as is?

Does anybody have a suggestion or solution?


Thanks in advance for your help,

Alessandro

A quick follow up:

I instead tried to use the "reset-in" port on the lfo, using "Crotchets" as a clock output 
rate, and I have obtained better results( it actually syncs  with logic, provided that i get an 
lfo  tempo/rate  that is as near as possible to my sequencer's tempo)


Again, please let me know if i am missing something or that is the way to do it(or at least 
one of them...)


Thank you!

Brandon,

thanks very much.

I seemed to overlook the sync feature of the LFO.

I'll give it a try later and let you know.

Thanks again for the hint!


Alessandro

You're approaching this wrong...

http://www.analoguesystems.co.uk/pdf/RS140.pdf

Your RS140 has a built-in midi sync'ed LFO. 
Go to the LFO menu
go to "sync with midi clock" submenu of LFO set it to yes.
go to "wave shape"  submenu of LFO and set it to square 
wave.
go to the "trigger" top menu
go to "clock output rate" submenu of trigger and set the clock 
speed you want your LFO to be.
go to "controller outputs" top menu
select the controller output you want your LFO to come out of
go to the "controller source" submenu of this output and set it 
to LFO.
Now patch this output into your patch where you had the RS80 
before.

Re: Midi Clock to LFO?

What if i was using several waveforms from the LFO?
for example the square was going to an env, and the saw to something else....

Is there a way to get several waveforms out at the same time from the rs 140 LFO?

thanks,

Alessandro
