I'm working on some stage automation and am trying to get the wah cadence in Bulls On Parade automated using an envelope so that it'll automatically start on the downbeat when the scene is selected. I've played with the Filter Block as well but the best approach I've found is to use the LFO for the wah control and an envelope on the LFO to control On/Off. Then I set the LFO to 1/4 note tempo. This comes close as it starts the wah cycle when I start playing. The catch is the muted strings part doesn't work (stops wah) and I have to add a slight pause right before beat 1 to re-sync the auto-wah cycle to the rhythm.
I've attached a simplified version of my preset and am open to any other approaches or solutions. What I've got in this preset is close but I can't rely on it live because a simple mistake on my timing will throw off the entire riff with the drums. It would be ideal that when the scene is selected the envelope starts automatically on the downbeat - I have automation set up so that the scene is selected exactly on the downbeat. I can't figure out how to start the LFO cycle when the scene is selected.
I did search the forum but didn't really find something applicable to solve this. If you're aware of another post please paste the link here.
Thanks,
