Better functionality of LFO-ctrl with random spectrum #6354
Comments
This would be awesome! Then you would essentially have a LFO that gave you a new random value ever beat or so. (And setting FREQ to maximum would behave like the current random) |
I would find this pretty inconsistent as the frequency knob maps to hz for all of the other waveforms. I think it'd make more sense to map it to a lowpass filter when using the noise oscillator, and add the time-stepping as a separate feature for all controllers. After all, a sine-shaped controller with the same stepped updating could also be useful. |
That is what i intend, but @specular remarks about inconsistency are absolutely valid. It would be absolutely random so no consistency between plays! My thoughts were only aimed at having FREQ influencing random-spectrum, since it influence the other shapes. Combining @allejok96 idea and speculars remark on consistency could be achieved in a different way. Here i mockup a 'random' automation pattern, and bind PITCH to it |
I have been working on humanizing some drum samples (removing "machine-gunning") from my acoustic drum setups, and this is the feature I've been wanting to implement. In synthesizers it's called sample-and-hold, the fact that the FREQ knob does nothing with the random waveform is inconsistent with the other waveforms. FREQ changes the rate at which the sine/square/saw etc modulate the controller, but it doesn't change the rate at which random values are delivered. Furthermore, to achieve the current functionality of ignoring the FREQ knob, just set the FREQ knob to an arbitrarily low value to effectively turn off the sample-and-hold functionality; this would be a pure addition. |
LFO controller's "white noise" wave shape didn't respect the frequency knob at all, so Sample-and-Hold was added to extend the functionality of the LFO Controller with this random waveshape. The original functionallity can still be accessed by setting the FREQ knob to minimum (0.01)
Added upgrade routine for old projects using the white noise on LFO controllers

Enhancement Summary
I suggest that frequency should influence the effect of spectrum-choice random when a LFO-ctrl is controlling a dial (Here PITCH)
Justification
In all other spectrum-choices like sine or triangle, changing FREQ has significant influence
Mockup
No
Explanation
Look at this picture
Here the PITCH dial has been connected to the LFO-ctrl, and random-spectrum has been chosen. Turning the FREQ-dial on LFO-ctrl does not influence the output.
I would think the random positions should be kept unchanged controlled by the FREQ dial setting. The span should ideally be between one whole note and 1/192 (-or as it is now).
