Questions about LFO modules

[robd]

I was wondering exactly how the bar and beat length work for the dual LFO module.

Specifically, I'm working on a piece with a twelve beat cycle (mostly four sets of triplets per bar, with the seq set to 8th note triplets)
Is the bar length on the LFO modules automatically 16 16ths, and the beat length 4 16ths, or is there some way to alter this? I tried to fix it by just entering the values I wanted in Hz, but it doesn't seem to accept anything except integer values for Hz. Is there some way to enter decimal/fraction values for Hz that I don't know about?

Thanks,

The controls for Frequency/Period on the module are set to integer values to make it easier to specify exact values. However, the underlying param is a float, so you may be able to use ParamMod to set non-integral values, but I haven't tested it myself.

The beat setting is as you mentioned: 1 beat = 4 sixteenths, but the bar option does respect the "beats per bar" setting on the groove clock, so for longer LFO values, you can set things as multiples of 12 beats.

I'm making some notes to review this issue. I assume your problem is that you want to work with a multiple of a triplet value.

Best,
Jim

The beats per bar option is what I was missing. If one of my sequencers is set to 8th note triplets, 3 of those should equal 4 16ths, so a beat on the LFO module should equal 3 8th triplets, right? If so, my problem is solved.

That is correct...
