Need LFO Vst!

[mystahr]

cheers hadders for the CClfo; have yet to try it, but allready can see plenty of use for it

[feelthetrip]

This is Im looking for: http://www.oli.adbe.org/downloads/lfochopper.zip

It would be cool including a sync-to-host-tempo

This might be what your looking for, scroll down to, Filter control 2

http://miksybrandt.panicnow.net/downloads.htm

Hmm that's interesting. Does anyone know anything about the filter on it? Does acts as a filter on the audio it's being used to affect? Or does it filter the LFO, which, with some resonence would make a very unusual effect when routed to something like a filter cut-off? There's no information on the site.

It works on an audio track and seems to effect the sound just as it would in a synth, don't know how or why but its a handy little gadget to have in the toolbox, now all I need is an ADSR

Damn, I was hoping the filter would be for the LFO. I would love that.

Why is it with all the exotic filters and synths out there, not one has a resonent filter for the LFOs?

Have you tried Minion?

No. I've got it but I've never really sat down and had a good look at it. Although looking at the manual it says nothing of filtering the actual LFOs.

Oli's LFO chopper is just an amplitude modulator. In FL you can use your volume envelope in the Channel Settings to get the same effect, and sync it to tempo. Or you can get a gate sequencer. Try "Killergate" from Novakill or the "Neon Gate" from Dream Vortex Studio. Both developers are listed here but maybe not the plugins, so visit their sites. Hope this helps.

You want to actually filter the LFO waveform?

[haydxn]

yeah, i was wondering the same thing.. what would you get from that? just a different kind of modulation wave. if it were a sine wave lfo then filtering would have no effect at all. i suppose that he means having the lfo control the filter.. but that's not exactly a rare thing

[Barbed Wire Kiss]

Yeah, I do mean filtering the LFO waveform, but you miss the important part, a resonant filter (lowpass at that).

It's taken from an idea in Jim Aikin's 'Power Tools for Synthesizer Programming'. On Page 104 he suggests using a square or sawtooth LFO through a resonant lowpass to modulate something like an oscillator (he doesn't say what exactly). He goes on to say that "as you turn up the resonance, the vertical edge in the waveform will cause the filter to 'ring' at it's resonant frequency, which will produce a burbling effect in the module that's being modulated".

Ever since I read that I've been interested in hearing it in action.

[greendoor]

Haydxn's CCLFO would seem like the answer for you. If it's a LFO that spits out midi CC controller information - then all you need to do is find your favorite filter and control it with that.

[greendoor]

oops - forget that. If you want a modulation effect with lots of different waveforms, and syncable to host, try Kjaerhus Golden Modulator. Distorting an LFO waveform with filters sounds like an interesting idea .. I've often wanted a more random LFO effect for doubling and stuff. Maybe changing the shape of an LFO by means of a filter, which is being changed randomly or just another speed LFO ... interesting idea.

[haydxn]

well you wouldn't be able to control it with a filter; BWK is talking about processing the LFO's output as if it were audio, and then using the result as a modulation source; if you're going for MIDI, it's unlikely you'll ever get what you want. When a filter gets in a 'resonant' squee, it is obviously going to be an audio-rate frequency being emphasized; midi is not suitable for such controls, so yeah you'd want to have it built into a synth if it were a modulation feature, or a specially wired up dedicated fx module.

Hmmm, that's interesting, I'd never considered that resonance would send the LFO into the audible range.

And it would be great if one of the nice developers around here took up the idea, and used it in one of their products. With added modulation on the LFO's filter I couldn't imagine all the carnage that could be done.
