I'm having some strange things happen when using Lfo1 on the latest Beta software. Problem may be confined to patches made on earlier software, as when I go to completely blank new patch and add a block to test Lf01 everything seems to operate as expected. I thought it might just be a corrupt preset, but adding filters to other pre-existing patches show the same issue. If the problem is not confined to something unique to my unit you should be able to reproduce it by:
Unit: AXE-FX II
1. Selecting a patch created from an earlier firmware.
2. Add a filter block
3. Set filter block to "Lo Pass"
4. Assign Frequency modifier to LFO1a
5. Go to CONTROL and set LFO1 to a very slow (like 3 or 4 bar) tempo, and set the shape to Sine. Make sure nothing is assigned to the RUN parameter.
6. Go back to the filter block frequency modifier--cursor ball should be doing a nice slow back and forth up and down--to this point everything seems normal.
7. Play a chord--on my unit the cursor ball leaps to a new position, breaking the slow back and forth, as though somehow something else is modifying it other than LFO1. It may then stabilize for a second in the usual back and forth, but then a second a later bounce all over the place, stabilize again and basically act erratically, and will especially seem to act erratic once the chord has stopped, before stabilizing completely and looking like normal LFO sweepage until the next note is played. The audio does all the glitching you might expect from the visual display. However, If I switch it to LFO 2 it exhibits normal behavior.
I've been messing with filters on the Axe-fx for a long while and never had this kind of behavior. Been trying to figure out if somehow the sequencer or ADSRs or envelope were somehow influencing the modulation, but if there's a connection there its not obvious to me. CPU % is around 82%, so doesn't necessarily seem like an overload, indeed, on the first patch I discovered the problem I deleted block by block and the issue never went away, even when only the filter block remained.
This is messing with a number of my LFO based patches, so would love to know if anyone is experiencing the issue. And, as always, a thousand thanks to Cliff and the Fractal Staff for the great product and your amazing interaction with your customers!
