First off, hi everyone, first time poster and recently converted renoise FANATIC. This program is wonderful.
I am trying to basically do LFO sync. You see this in many softsynths/samplers as 1/4 1/8 etc, the triplet forms 1/8T etc. I’m trying to assign this on a filter cutoff. Yes I am making dubstep style wobbles
When seeing the “frequency” parameter of the LFO I assumed it meant something along the lines of ticks, or lines, or similar. So I’d divide that up and pick something that made sense (like using ‘16’ expecting it to be some even number of beats, similar to sync’ing a sample to 16 32 64…). But my issue is that the period of the LFO was never quite right.
I read the tutorials closer and see them using “60” as frequency to get a good result. Bingo! 30 works too, so does 15. But my question is, what if I want to go “slower” than a frequency of 15? 7.5? that’s not going to work. 3.25? etc
Also what on earth does that frequency value actually correspond to? Changing ticks had no effect. It clealy doesn’t have anything to do with lines of the tracker or beats. So… what?
Understanding this better may shed light on how I can figure out how to make the LFO period do stuff like triplets and so forth where it hits like 3 times in 4 beats. Brute force experimenting to find the values is not cool because it would be a lot of dumb work - I want to understand it and be efficient. That’s why we’re all here, right???
Thanks much,
Robert
