i know that its been discussed a million times, requested aswell.
i know someone posted a standalone exe file that was supposed to work as a midi lfo, but i couldnt get it to work with live.

well, i found one. theres some other nifty midi plugins here aswell.

also, id give a shoutout to a friend of mine who built this audio to midi enveloper for me:

get them both. youd be suprised how useful they are once you map them up in a few racks and get used to having them around.

im telling you, this thing is a beast.
ive got it hooked up in a rack, mapping out some of the most important parametrers for me, using only one of the three provided LFO´s and its insane.
i cant imagine the havoc it can wreak when you use all the supplied lfos at once O.o

what part of midi lfo dont you understand?
its a device that sends out midi cc velocity messages, driven by a lfo.

heres how you do it basicly:

anothing thing thats important is that you have to press run on the lfo device to get it to actually.. well.. run.

i guess you knew that since you read the description on the website before downloading though, right?

I'm using Loop BE and all I'm doing is setting Loop be to the output of the device then setting loop be as the input for REMOTE in the MIDI prefs and just assigning the CC to the knob I want controlled

works a treat!

I was a bit skeptical at first thinking that it was a bummer thinking I have to use 2 MIDI tracks - then I realised that the VST version can be placed AFTER the instrument you want to control on the same track! that was the best discovery of all!

thanks heaps for this - I have a good feelign about this! :D :D :D :D :D 8)

how are you guys finding MIDI yoke? is it comfortable with more than one of these in a set?

I always found MIDI yoke a bit unnreliable, but loop be has only one port

actually - cool tip:

use the same LFO mapped to lots of different parameters and use Live's MIDI map min/max settings to control how much each is affected - of course this only works for when you want them all at the same rate
