phritz LFO Eight a useful mappable LFO device AMXD-FANTASTiC screenshot
FANTASTiC | 28 November 2024 | 46 KB
I've always had this problem with the LFO device in ableton, which is that there's only one oscillator accessible from a single instance of the device.

Meaning that if I wanted to modulate a parameter with a sine wave, another with a saw wave, and another with a random wave, I would've had to open three instances of LFO.

So I've sort of come up with a solution which is this device - LFO Eight. As the name suggests, this device has 8 mapping slots with 8 individual LFOs (sine-saw-triangle-square-random), all of which that can be tweaked with their own dedicated Frequency, Smooth and Bit controls.

Frequency and smooth do what they say, and the 'Bit' control is a bit-reducer (redux) type option that allows you to essentially step-divide the LFO.

For example, if you set the Random LFO's bit to 2, you'll get a randomly jumping (=2 step) LFO that behaves like the Bin option in Ableton's stock LFO.

The 'amp' control is an LFO amplitude adjustor, used to increase or decrease the gain of the waveform, which provides the benefit of an additional range tweaker.

There is also a MIDI effect version available for those who would like to modulate MIDI effects (Chord, Scale, etc.) and print them to another track (the audio effect version doesn't let MIDI through for some reason, lmk if you have any ideas on how to solve it :( )

Works with Live 11 and 12 (I hope!)

Happy modulating!

if only Ableton made a native LFO device, instead we have to use such solutions.

thanks very useful upload! :)
If you want to supply something, you can. PM is open for that.

they sort of dont. they are "native", but they are max for live, and pretty limited compared to the many provided by the max community.

Can you help me figure this out? I was under the impression that this is a native LFO device in Ableton, part of the core library (vs the blue LFO max device). If not, do you know where this LFO came from?

I've been wanting a note triggered LFO for a while now as the one in Bitwig should you feel like incorporating that aswell :)

there are some that exist. i think they are free too. ill try searching in my collection, but try searching the max for live site too

Max 9 has some of the modulators from Meld has devices. I know you can reset the phase on them. We should see them pop-up when max 9 gets integrated in Ableton 12. They also have the same 2 fx modifiers like in meld.
