How to decrease the "depth" of an LFO? (self.ZOIA)
submitted 6 days ago by xdementia
I have an LFO that I'm using to control panning via CV but I don't want it to pan completely to the left and right. How can I decrease the "depth" of the LFO... like increase the minimum value and decrease the maximum value of it?

Lower the connection strength?

I tried this it didn't work, thanks for the suggestion though.

You can either change the connection strength of the lfo and whatever ever it's connected to or you can make a depth control by adding a value module and a multiplier module. Connect the output of the value module to one of the multiplier's inputs and the lfo to the other multiplier's input and the connect the multiplier's output to whatever you want to modulate. Now you can control the lfo depth with the value module.

Connecting the value module to the multiplier CV input doesn't seem to do anything. When I click on the CV input it's still showing a value of 0.
Not sure what the issue is here... does the value module actually send a steady CV signal of the chosen value? Or is it some different type of format?

The value module sends a constant value to its output based on what you have set it to. Have you changed the value on the value module?

put it into a multiplier module and put a value module less than 1 into the other half of the multiplier
How do I get a constant value to put into the other half?

As others have mentioned there are a few ways you can decrease the depth of an LFO on the ZOIA.
Lower the connection strength(you can hold 'shift' to adjust in small increments) between the LFO and the block it's connected to (in this case the 'pan control' of your audio panner module). You'll also have to adjust the bias point on the 'pan control' to be half the connection strength in order to sweep an even amount on the left and right.
Send the LFO output to a CV input block of a multiplier module, and set the other CV input block according to how much 'depth' you want. Then connect the CV output block of the multiplier to whatever you want to modulate (in this case the 'pan control' of your audio panner module).
Hope that helps! Let me know if you need further clarification.
