Scene LFO reset?

[Tom Morris]

I have a Flanger set up the way I want but I would like the sweep to start at a set point whenever I select a scene its active in. I have the flanger set up in an odd way to achieve the result I want. To get the sweet of the flange I'm using an LFO as a modifier on the flangers delay setting, see pictures below. How can I make the delay level be at the bottom of the sweep when I activate the scene? Seems like LFO just runs or not if you stop it with no rest option. I was thinking a scene controller is what i would need but what would I control?

So you're saying that the Run switch on the LFO doesn't reset it? I thought it did... But I never checked.

 

[Tom Morris]

Right that just turns it on or off wherever it is in the sweep.

 

[unix-guy]

Ok...

Would the Sequencer work?

 

[Tom Morris]

Hmmm good question. Will have to look at that. Just thinking that may be too jumpy but may work.

You could apply damping...

By the way, this recent post seems to indicate that the Run switch is supposed to reset the LFO.

Read the post. I was clicking run stop manually, will try with a scene controller.

Yeah... That's what I was going to suggest if it did reset.

The manual seems to also indicate it does:

 

[Tom Morris]

Set a scene controller on the run/stop of the LFO and it does indeed reset it. However its in the middle of the sweep.

Can you adjust the Phase to get where you want?

 

[unix-guy]

I think you have to use LFO B to adjust Phase.

 

[Tom Morris]

Phase isn't working the magic.

I'm sure @Bakerman or @simeon or Admin M@ will chime in with a solution.

Thanks for the help.

 

[Bakerman]

Is start point adjustment the only reason you're trying the LFO modifier approach? Did you try any other settings for "LFO Bypass Reset" in the block itself with no modifier assigned?

For the controller menu LFO B phase to determine the starting point you need to select LFO 1B as source, not LFO 1A.

That's what I was trying to say, but I wasn't very clear.

The LFO is assigned to the Delay control..

 

[Bakerman]

The LFO is assigned to the Delay control..

Right, but without the modifier the LFO Bypass Reset works on the block's own LFO.

Looking at the settings more closely it seems like the goal might be a custom sweep w/ stepped rise & smooth fall.

The effect I'm after in the flanger is all about sweeping the delay time. Hence why I'm using LFO. Reseting/Bypass the flanger block doesn't reset the LFO. I'm confused LFO1A and LFO1B? I see LFO 1 and below that LFO 2 each has an Output B Phase.

In your screenshot you have selected LFO 1A... Choose LFO 1B.

The phase control is 1B offset from 1A.
