Hey guys i was just wondering, i know you can change the position of the lfo phase but is there a way to sync it perfectly?
I found 65.50 to be the closest to me for Saw Down to start correctly on a downbeat of a every 4/4 beat

This picture should explain it abit better, i put the files in spectrum mode so its easy to tell whats going on
In 0 Phase the 1/8 dot LFO ramp down doesn't start at the beginning of its cycle on the downbeat, but shifting the phase to 66.50 got me pretty damn close, was just wondering if there's other ways to restarts the LFO? This would also help with my tap delay idea
Edit: kvr can't upload a bigger resolution pic sorry!

In your example, the lfo only kicks in after a whole measure, so by the time you're actually hearing it, at 1/8 dot the saw will already be two-thirds of the way through a cycle even though it started at the its peak at the beginning of the note. Hence 66.66 will get the result you want in this case.

Keen to see how you went?
Aswell as the tap delay thing? They both pretty much coincide with one another

Yeah i knew 66 was pretty much dead on, i was more wondering if there was a way to re-trigger whenever i wanted it if the phase was set to 0NAD wrote: Fri Jul 17, 2020 1:36 am In your example, the lfo only kicks in after a whole measure, so by the time you're actually hearing it, at 1/8 dot the saw will already be two-thirds of the way through a cycle even though it started at the its peak at the beginning of the note.

Quite certain there's no way to do that in Zebra.fifty1fifty wrote: Mon Jul 20, 2020 1:14 pm i was more wondering if there was a way to re-trigger whenever i wanted it if the phase was set to 0

Would it be possible to add some sort of ghost midi note zebra generates itself that could be hooked up to the MSEG system, so then it could retrigger the LFO's?
