Filter LFO - Does Not Sound Very Smooth

geddy's icon

Hello all,

I have tried to create a simple audio sample playback patch that has a filter, but when I attempt to implement an LFO, it sounds really odd. It sounds like the LFO controlling the frequency cutoff goes back below 20Hz, so that there is a pause of silence. How do I fix this?

Also, how would I go about controlling the depth of the LFO? I have attached an image of my patch.

I would be grateful for any help.

Hi
first step, upload that part of your patch; just use Edit/(Select)/Copy Compressed.

second step, wait for solutions to roll in

From what I can see in your screenshot, you are affecting the entire frequency range (from 0 - 2000) with your multiplication with the value coming from cycle~. Try something like the attached example. This way you can set an LFO range value which adds and subtracts the specified frequency value from the filter cutoff frequency.
