Re: MDUW LFO Confusion

2008-01-11 by Niall Munnelly

Quick update:

"In playback, I would expect this to shift R1's start and
end times" should read *P1*'s start and end times, sorry.

LFOs set to trig might actually work, but then I'd have to
have the tracks' trigs on the same steps, which isn't really a good
option.
