Wait ..W@tt ..The MPC has 4 LFOs !!

So AI just informed me ..that the MPC has 4x LFOs ..
the manual didn't go into much specification, so I asked AI again and the answered was YES to all


Yes, an MPC's LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) can modulate sample start point
Yes, an MPC's LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) go into audio rate
Yes, an MPC's LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) can modulate another LFO
Yes, an MPC's LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) can modulate loop points.


I thought it was 1 LFO in NuMPCs .. Did this happen in 3.0 ?

So who here is doing synthesis with these tools? Step locking /drawing in LFO rates and depth? Using LFOs as FM OP? Or just complex routing.. This is so exiting, please share some insight,

Follow up

When zero crossing is on does ''LFO to sample LOOP point'' result in click free audio

Sorry can't answer your specific questions because I haven't downgraded to 3.x yet. However, you would do better by reading either the manual or the MPC Bible then relying on AI to figure out your instruments.

Yeah ... Just quickly went through the LFO /MOD section in the manual ... it seems AI was just trying to be nice ! ...
can't find anything about LFO to sample point modulation nor any mention of 4 LFOs ..in fact now it states it has 3 ..

Can't wait for this thing to drive my car ..


apologies for the sudden gear lust post ..

AI has told me all sorts of crazy stuff that isn't true.

No harm no foul. The internet is the disinformation super highway anymore.

OMG

It also has 4x Envelopes: filter, amp, pitch and aux ..... sooooo wicked !!!

So my questions still stand ...

Use an lfo to blend between the filters. Use the harmonize to create chords

Cool! are destinations within the harmonizer in the modulation matrix, also are sample & looppoints within the matrix.

in fact is there a list of sources & destinations somewhere

i don't think the LFOs are lockable to BPM though (at least in 2.x that I ever found)

In Keygroup XL:
1. Yes
2. No, it only goes up to 200 Hz
3. Yes
4. No

Uhh you can't hear 200Hz? Cause that is definitely 'audio rate'. Normal LFO's run at about 1/10th of that.

I can hear and feel 200hz lol

Standard six string guitar low E is like 82hz. I tune down to C# or B and have no trouble hearing those.
