Sonic Academy welcomes back renowned sound designer and gear head Bluffmunkey to take you through the sometimes misunderstood LFO Tool . Steve Duda’s ubiquitous sidechaining plugin can do so much more than just duck your volume. Here Bluffmunkey explains all the differing features from the multi filters to the using the envelope to create quantized steps for cool trance style gates. In the last tutorial, he takes us through some real world examples using LFO Tool to help shape your sound and help with your mixdowns.
Thanks Sonic/BluffMunkey for this tutorial, also excellent plugin. It would be good if it could have a side-chain path option, so that the LFOTool, when switched into the SC mode, will only respond to incoming sidechain signals, (unless I’ve missed that it is hidden in there somewhere), cheers
@Andybremner1, I’m not sure what you’re trying to achieve that can’t already be done with graph shapes and routing, but if you use the note retrig function in the MIDI section you can make the envelopes respond to incoming midi notes.
just a note for your mac users (like me!) , the snapping to grid key command is option click (not control click). having said that i’m on an older version of LFO tool, not sure if its changed w the version u have…
