[elektron] Re: Flat LFO

2002-10-06 by valladoliddiego

Hi!

"If the description is true-to-form, this should be a very kewl 
function. Assuming I'm reading it correctly, you should be able to 
link a MIDI control directly to the LFO and therefore control the 
modulating waveform directly via continuous controller."

I'm not following you... What different does it make to draw CC data 
for the LFO depth, than it is to draw it for the parameter the LFO 
is modulating? As long as it's a "flat" LFO, there's not additional 
bonuses for using it for modulating a normal parameter -at least, 
not any bonus that I can imagine.

But, there must be good uses for it, or at least a reason for it 
being there. Maybe it's inherited from the Sid chip, and it had a 
use in the days that the chip was used to make Sid music in the old 
C-64, but now it's unnecesary because the modern tools make it 
unnecessary... (I'm not english so excuse my poor explanation... I 
hope it makes sense, though)

But, I'm now guessing that it can have some good use when adding one 
LFO to another. Maybe it's a trick to get interesting LFO 
waveforms... I hadn't thing about it till now, so thanks for the 
brainstorm. I don't have my SidStation here at the moment, but maybe 
later in the day I can try. Let's see what tricks we come up with...
