Description

This device is a simulated LFO you can used to modulate device parameters. It's simulated in that it doesn't actually use an oscillator at all but the Max line object to simulate shapes an LFO might generate. I built it to see if using this method would have a much lower performance impact than using actual oscillators.

I sometimes have 10+ things being modulated by an LFO at once in some of my work and using actual LFOs for that starts to have a serious impact. Using [line] should minimize performance impact yet still give basic ability to modulate things.

For extra credit, use LineFO to modulate the ranges of other instances of LineFO.

Usage:

*Add LineFO to a midi track

*Click "Learn"....

*Browse to any track and click on a parameter you want it to control

*Select the "shape"

*Optionally, set speed and range

New in 1.6

(*) LineFO now displays what device and parameter it is modulating (saved with Live set too)

(*) More accurate timing (found bug in API and created workaround)

(*) Fixed bug in max range control

(*) Lots of other code cleanup and more detailed help screen
