i know, this is a simple question but my lfo's don't seem to work right either..

they don't really oscillate and don't move fast?

By hecto Sun Jan 22, 2006 3:32 pm
mine's not doin anything.

just play around with the settings, change first field to 0.25 (for example) and the pitch1 to 30
now do that on a 1 bar loop sample or something like that...

By hecto Sun Jan 22, 2006 3:50 pm
ok thanks, had em all on 99 or sometin

is the delay suppose to make it all jumpy or really delay the sample like an echo?? i cant seem to get it to do that

Set the Time, Feedback, HF Damp, and Level to higher values and adjust them to whatever suits you. By default, you won't hear any difference on the delay until you tweak it out a bit.

the delay is the where the lfo kicks in isnt it?

At 99 your LFO wil oscillate every 99 beats, if you want to ear the oscillations set your LFO to less than 1, set it to 00.48 for half a note 00.24 for quarters and so on...

my lfo's are working. It all depends on what you want to do with it for instance have a slow rate wav and set the pitch to decrease so that way when you hit the pad it makes the sample slow down like its a turntable

The delay in the LFO screen means how long before the effect takes place.

the delay (like an echo) is located in FX2 (the last option)

these are two different delays not to be confused with each other.

thanx..i aint never see the delay effect and thought it was in the lfo from lookin at sparqs page of 2.0. Im officially 100% satisfied witht the 2.1...good shyt akai

ok so if u set it to <1 to hear the oscillations...

what are the practicalities of it going up to 99?

By mart1 Mon Jan 23, 2006 8:59 pm
yeah there is no really practicality of setting your LFO at 99, thought at this rate you could have a nice and long evolving pad :) LOL

oh so 99 is slow oscillations

i thought it was so fast u couldnt hear it
