Having source as LFO in mod matrix and a destination like amp amt or OscAllFrq or something I get altered waveform trying different values, and even did a second mod slot to alter the first.
- some with doing lfo amt and some not
Waveform change for sure, even over to something like wavefolding with double bumps in between.
Or is it better to sacrifice a second lfo with double frequency or something to get an edge on each slope of the lfo.
Did anybody do this already and find out how it works?
Envelopes are simpler in that they have one slope each keypress, but an lfo is continuous while a note sounds.
If using two mod slots, does it matter which goes first?
- thinking how processor do things in realtime
- if mod slot 1 calculated before slot 2 so meaningless to let slot 2 modulate slot 1?
I just found sine lfo is nicer most of the time. If the technical term is that sine has constant angle frequency but triangle linear amplitude change. Been using a synth lately with sine lfo and like it better.
I did the same discovery using tremolo pedals for guitar, and even univibe stuff that do circular movements that sine work better.
And thinking about that FM synths usually is a sine modulating another sine as default. Creating nice harmonics, even if lfo not is audible normally.
Not to invent the wheel again, I ask before taking oscilloscope out and start investigating.
Thanks for any ideas....
