It's a way to have one source switch to the opposite state while another source is a latching toggle. Here's the original thread where I described the setup: https://forum.fractalaudio.com/thre...and-hold-switch-functions.152004/post-1808837
(I don't have an Axe-FX III to verify if anything changed about LFOs or how B Phase affects the B LFO.)
But why? If it's just to toggle between fast and slow, why not use a single, latching switch and change channels on the rotary block? Seems overly complicated and, as you've experienced, prone to breakage.It lets me assign two control switches - CS1 latching, CS2 momentary, wherein CS2 flips the state of CS1 momentarily. @Bakerman proposed the idea last summer, but until LFO Output B phase was available to be controlled, it was not possible in the III. The LFO is set to the stopped position, and is being (ab)used for its capabilities as a logic gate via the Output B Phase and Duty Cycle.
Easy to accomplish with a pair of SPDT switches. Electricians use the trick to control hallway and stairway lights from two switches.
And, yes, I am 100% sure it flipped the phase, as I just got done setting them all up so that the light being bright meant 'fast' and the light being dim meant 'slow' on the latching switch. I fixed it in one preset, then pulled the same preset from the pre-upgrade backup into an empty slot next to it, and the one from the backup is backwards. I actually prefer it the way it is now, as it allows me to set the min value to the low number and the max value to the high number and have the switch's lights correspondingly show dim for slow and bright for fast....
