LFO to Gain

Anna's icon

Hi!

Could someone help me with adjusting the LFO to the gain?
Basically, I have the simplest LFO I created myself and I'd like it to modulate the gain in my patch, but with the ability to adjust gain either LFO is turned on or off.

Thank you!

Hello Anna,

What's the range of your [live dial] ? To control the amplitude of your LFO you need to multiply with a range of 0. - 1.
If you use the right outlet of the [live dial] you'll get always a normalised range of 0. to 1.
Alternatively you can divide the number of the left outlet by the max value you are sending.

Cheers,

Jan

Try to simplify the patch to the simplest case. If it's working then build more complex patches. I don't see the need to use <snapshot~>. If you are using a Lfo why downsample it?
This a very simple Lfo gain:

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

one day someone should start legal action against these snapshot driven data LFOs, otherwise they will never die.

modulate volume before it goes into live.gain.

@Roman: Can I add that I have always hated <snapshot> and that it have often created problems for me in programming? Of course maybe I'm quite dummy
