Fun things to do with LFOs?

What are some fun, interesting, or unusual things people like to do with LFOs?

This is not a particularly innovative one, but I like to put an LFO on hi-hats, using the random waveform, and with the destination set to decay.

This is quite an open question; you might like to read some existing material on the forum:

Tutorial, article or book to deeply understand LFO and Destination Digitakt

Hello im a new traveler in this website so I’lbe introduce my self . -The first point is that I’m realy bad in written expression in English so I apologize in advance. I’m Julien 21 and i start production since 12 month with the DAW ableton Live as an hobby. And recently i bought a Digitakt i realise then i had a huge lack of knowledge about LFO. So I’m searching some good tutorial(english) or website to deeply understand The Lfo and his destination in diferent case. Regar…

I got some good responses to this question recently, too: Digi Boxes LFOs Uses/Behaviors

Use 3 LFOs to modulate the rate of each other and nothing else. Its fun for them.

Your LFOs must get so buff.

on the Digitone I love using fast lfo as pitch envelope to create blips and bloops with a slow lfo on random wave and hold mode on something like ratio/harmonics/operator offset and put them through tons of delay and reverb and chorus, then I use the midi loopback or lfo from ableton if it’s open to modulate the bandwidth filter and / or decay times of the amp envelopes…
sometimes that’s all I do for hours because it’s really fun and I really like the sound of that, it relaxes me

I find that LFO 1 > LFO 2 > LFO 3 > LFO 1 is fine, but I like to spice things up with LFO 3 > LFO 1 > LFO 2 > LFO 3 now and then.

However LFO 3 > LFO 2 > LFO 1 > LFO 3 is just perverse.

You have sentient, conscious LFOs?

I have yet to really explore making blips and bloops, but it seems the Digitone excels in such sounds.

I burned the roof of my mouth on an exceptionally hot LFO recently it was dripping with oil like a slice of pepperoni pizza just out of the oven and splattered my pants in a perverse pattern that didn’t come out in the wash.

We’re all, like, just waves, man.
