LFO modulator and starting from -100%

[valankar]

I'm trying to make the LFO modulator start from -100% instead of 0. For example, when I set a custom shape, it looks like this:

I cannot set the starting point when editing the shape.

When I use a non-custom shape, I can make the LFO start at -100% by using Advanced -> Invert. But I cannot seem to get this behavior when using a custom shape. Is there a way to?

The goal is an LFOTool style modulator just modulating a Utility volume, using the single shot function and having the LFO reset back to either -100% or 100%. But it is always being reset to 0.

In Advanced Settings / Shape, change the Phase to 180 degrees?

I tried to solve the same problem, and I found a clunky workaround. Open the custom shape editor, then open the right-click menu and select "step sequencer". Draw in any shape (doesn't matter) and confirm. This unlocks the nodes at the edges (start and end points) and you can now draw in your shape. It seems like you need at least 3 nodes for the shape to show up correctly in the modulator shape window.

Or move the phase like Darkstar suggested, but that makes it difficult to get the timing right.

I don't think the trouble is worth it, and you can get Dodge Pro for around $10 with the Christmas Bundle from W.A.. Productions.

Although Dodge Pro doesn't have a midi trigger, so maybe it's not suitable for your use case.

Wow, had no idea the step sequencer allows you to then change the start/end points. Would have never figured that out.

Also thanks for the phase adjustment idea.
