I'm trying to get Jura's LFO to start it's cycle on play and be in sync, and neither of which seem to be happening. I'm not sure what I'm missing of whether something is awry. This is in Standalone

8/4 LFO speed should be 2 bars, and I want my PWM to ramp up over two bars and start again. But for ease of figuring what's happing I'm messing with pitch LFO.

DCO - LFO = 10
LFO - Sync = On
LFO - Resync = Off
LFO - Speed = 8/4
LFO - Delay = 0.000s
LFO - Ramp = 0.000s
LFO - Shape = Ramp Up
Trigger Mode = Auto

Pressing Play Start doesn't seem to start the LFOI cycle, and as I modulation pitch I hear the low start of the cycle in different places in the 2 bar loop, so even if it was in sync but starting at what ever point in the phase in the LFO, it should hit that phase every 2 bars. I've also tried with a one bar LFO 4/4, and it's the same issue.

:hmmm:

I've recently mapped my Launchpad to the Jura, and even though I had to set it to Control in the preferences and used it in the mapping of every knob and fader, because these are sending CC messages, the MPC doesn't care where they are coming from. So I've set up CC assignment for most of the Jura, and now can send CC data from my Daw , and create an envelope and back the modulation into the track. Which seems pretty handy.

So I have a workaround.
