Hi, I would appreciate some help … I want to program a fade out for an external midi device using a CC (let’s say CC7: main volume) . Unfortunately, there are no glide trigs as for the audio tracks. It think only a cleverly programmed LFO could do it. I tried with a slow inverted sawtooth LFO, that indeed works, but obviously the LFO will jump back to the initial value at one point. What should I do to get just a negative slope, and then stop the LFO where I want it (end of pattern is fine), and not retriggering it when the pattern loops? Is that possible? Thanks many!
Try the Half Trig Mode on a triangle wave or One Trig Mode on inverted saw wave, or p-lock LFO depth to 0 at the end of the pattern with Trigless Lock (Function + Trig Button).
When I set the LFO trig mode to “sync one”, inverted saw, speed=32 (for a 64 step pattern) and depth=full, I get the desired fade out over 4 bars but the LFO retriggers when the pattern loops. P-lock depth to 0 at the last step of the pattern looked like a good idea but that doesn’t work unfortunately: depth is reset to the initial value when the pattern loops…
Use Conditional Trig (1st), so the note on pattern start only trigs once.
Plus oneshot inverted saw LFO of course 
No one shot trigs on midi tracks…otherwise it would have been a piece of cake!
I think concerning “oneshot inverted saw” @Schnork meant lfo TRIG setting, set to ONE
No one shot trigs for midi tracks, but 1st and Fill TRC can be used instead.
It should work with TRIG =ONE.

Yes, I had tried TRC =1st and “one” setting to no avail. Only "Sync One " seems to consistently trigger the LFO at the start of the pattern. I’d rather avoid fill because I’d need to latch it. Not a big deal but I might forget I have a latched fill condition active
For the LFO both ONE and SYNC One work if your Note Trig is on step 1.
If the Note Trig is not on step 1 use ONE.
You just have to set the LFO slow enough, so that at the end of the pattern one cycle is completed.
ONE and SYNC ONE will allow the LFO to run for one cycle only, so you have to match the LFO time. Make sure you pulled the LFO depth up enough.
LFO Speed = 32, Mult = 4x works for 16 steps.
If your pattern is longer, adjust accordingly.
Just tried with my OT.
And with 1st Trig Condition you‘ll trigger the whole thing just once.

Yes, thanks, as I reported those are the settings I’m using (Only difference is I have the multiplier set to 1x for 64steps), the issue is the LFO restart when the pattern loops. If set a trigless trig on step 1 (or a note trig) with TRC=1st (or fill) the LFO is still restarted by the next trig on the track. Only “sync one” works, none of the other options are suitable because they all (except “free”) restart the LFO at the next trig on the track. (Sync half can work too, just need to change the multiplier for the same result).
Looks like I have no option other than cue a 3rd pattern with the CC val locked to 0 (or track muted): (1st pattern: track is playing, 2nd pattern: track fades out, 3rd pattern: track is muted. Hmmmm… that’s quite a hassle for a fade out!
A dedicated track with only trig is not possible?
It should work with Sync One, if you set a 1ST TRC and plock the right lfo depth, default depth being 0.
Good idea, I will try ASAP… So I could just unmute that track by footswitch and have my fade-out whenever needed. Hadn’t considered that option… but that should work. With OT if you think outside the box all hurdles can be overcome! Thanks!
