lfo with maxmsp?
hello,
can anybody show me an example of how to build an lfo?
thanks in advance
I included an lfo abstraction in my ajm objects bundle, available here: http://compusition.com/web/software/maxmsp/ajm-objects
You don't have to install the whole thing for the lfo, just grab ajm.lfo.help out of the help folder and ajm.lfo.pat out of the objects folder and put them on your max search path. (note: if you do this instead of a full install, most of my other objects won't work...)
An lfo is just - as the name implies - an oscillator at a low
(subaudio) frequency. For a simple lfo you can use any of the usual
MSP oscillators with the frequency set down to a range around .01 to
about 10 Hz or so. The out put is then routed to whatever parameter
you wish to control, i.e. filter Fc, oscillator frequency, amplitude,
etc. You can adjust the strength of the modulation by sending the
lfo's output first through a [*~] with a number box (float) connected
to the other side to act as a 'mod amount' setting.

hi kostas,
here's some lfo-stuff for you:

this may no necessarily be the right way of using or making a LFO but i find it works for me. If you want it to be in signal form then just use a cycle~ with a low frequency. For parameter control and number work use this simple method. [Cycle~] -> [snapshot~ 10] -> [+ 1.] -> [/ 2.] = a 0. to 1. to whatever speed your cycle is going.
as i said this may not be the easiest or 'proper' way of working but i found it logical myself when needing modulation.
here's an example patch.
all of you had been really helpfull!
this is what I've made...
please comment
sorry...
if i'm not mistaken that's identical to what macca posted above.
you are right...
my mistake
hope this is the right one:
here's an expanded version. check out the FM part, it's great for making some seriously wacky sounds...

I dont know why but I cant seem to open it....
it just opens the text...
It worked for me. You copied the entire text and chose New from Clipboard from the File menu in Max?
to cebec:
thanks!I was just saving the text and then open it with max/msp but it doesnt work for all patches...
to seejayjames:
I liked that, you really moved it forward
:-)
to seejayjames:
for the FM part you added I have some questions,sorry if it sounds stupid...
but how is this FM?
I mean it sure sounds like FM, but you actually connect an oscillator to another's phase and the LFO goes to amplitude...
once again sorry if I sound stupid but I would realy like to learn
thanks
