START issue?

I’ve noticed that adjusting START on trigs doesn’t really give much more than a subtle change. I’ve also noticed this on the LFO page as well.

For instance, if I select a bunch of trigs, all with widely ranging start points, it doesn’t appear to do very much, with start points being quite close to the original start point.

With a random lfo I would expect it to have a random starting point on each trig, but again this seems minimal.

As usual, my assumption is that it’s a user issue and not the machine.

Can anyone confirm that it’s me not doing something, or is it meant to be this way.

Are you adjusting the depth?

Haha yeah. Maybe my expectation is very different to the reality. Just seemed like it should be really different each time it restarts.

On random, if I want a great effect I set the lfo pretty deep and that works for generating random start points. I generally mess with start points on longer samples so that there is a noticable difference as its running.

great tip. thanks. ive been playing for the first time today with this plus the micro timing going through a zoom cdr70 on varying settings - so deep.

Hmm this is exactly what I am wanting to do, but am not getting the results. I’ll persevere

Presume you have lfo set to hold also, so that each trig sets a random value and holds until the next trig?

Nope. Had it on trig and assumed that it’ll trigger on each new trig… Now you’ve said that, it makes more sense to me!

Trig just syncs it to note ons (with speed), hold is your new best buddy!
Enjoy the outcome!
