Agonist Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Any ideas on how to get it to sync and possibly re-trig as a real-time effect? without this, the effect sounds like it loses it's timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fader8 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Audio track or virtual instrument? If the latter, which one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agonist Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 using it on a software instrument channel. using the modulation>tremolo (stereo) effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fisherking Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 am i missing something? can't you just choose a setting (i.e. 1/4, 1/8) etc in the tremolo effect, so it's synced to your tempo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaktor 5 (Synthesizer = photone - from the electronic instruments xt2 edition). no LFO's being used and all wavetable samples are synchronised (gate). ok but the issue applies to regular logic synths too.

I can't get the trem plug to go out of sync, but as a general rule it's not great for melodic synth work since it doesn't restart the waveform at the start of each note. I'm not familiar with that reaktor ensemble, but if you've got LFO's to spare then just use those instead. If they're not poly LFO's then I'd suggest modifying the ensemble to include them. As for Logic's instruments, several contain poly LFO's, ...ES2, Sculpture... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherking Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 i use logic's tremolo plugin often for effect, sync'd to a track, and ALWAYS stays sync'd here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
