Some questions you should ask yourself.

Do you know what lfo does?

What exactly are you trying to achieve with this?

Dynamic pitch for drums, I'm not following here. Do you mind explaining it details what type of drum and how you want it to actually act/react with lfo, of post a link to an example of what your trying to achieve.

Usually drums attack and decay fast. Lfo that I've noticed is usually used on pad/synth/wave sweeps.

Is it possible your using the wrong thing for the wrong thing?

Maybe some of this will help you catch on to lfo a little.

If your looking to pitch a pad with a drum on it, can't you assing a qlink knob as PITCH to that drum pad and control the pitch live that way? That pitch will be on that pad so any sample you place in that pad will be affected by that knob. Most likely that's in your manual, a basic function. 8)

I do this sometimes with my 4k knobs and sliders. LFO works REALLY good on slow synth-like waves when you assign lfo to qlink knob.

lmao, I said "assing" I guess what's on my mind is no secret now is it. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just trying to help out a little. You don't always HAVE to have the same gear to offer some advice. More than half the time there are universal elements to most gear and the same principles can apply, even if the menus and language/terms are different ya know.

If the trolls would put half the effort from trolling into helping out the community it would be really really nice. But alas, no dice. Fools just selfish and strictly drink haterade at the "No Life" bar.
