Great video! I love this app. You mentioned cross modulating the lfo’s. The settings are exposed in AUM so you can modulate one lfo with another to get some juicy madness. You didn’t mention it in your video but it also seems that the rate knobs (x10/x100/x1000) are cumulative, so you crank the x1000 knob to its max, and then make it even slower still by cranking the x10 and the x100. Sorry if I’m pointing out the obvious! Love the channel!
Great video, Jakob! I like to connect channel volumes in AUM to the lfos so that I have different channels fading in and out at different rates. Just one of SO MANY uses for mLFO! Thanks for pointing out that while the Model D knobs will show the lfo modulating it, that there are other synths that won’t show the knob being modulated. This is an important thing to point out! (I just thought it was me, but no, it’s the synths!)
My pleasure! I’ve even seen cases of some synths where the knob will animate briefly and then just stop to never move again. It can be really confusing.
@@JakobHaq I just sent this to the developer of mLFO: Hi there, Achilleas I am writing because a popular and respected RUclipsr made a video about mLFO because of it’s ability to create really really slow changes. This is something that many people will find useful, especially in ambient music genres. In a comment, he wondered if there was a similar app that, instead of LFOs, featured extremely slow ADSR envelopes. In my mind, it seemed like a fairly small step from what you already have with mLFO. Do you think this would be possible? I can’t promise that it will become a huge seller, but I bet that Jakob Haq (the RUclipsr I mentioned) would probably make a video about it. FYI, here’s the video re mLFO: ruclips.net/video/BB5Z2-nHc_A/видео.html It will be my next purchase. s
@@JakobHaq I got a response from the developer: Thanks for your e-mail and the kind words! This is a very interesting idea but perhaps for a separate app/AUv3 plugin - the thing is that volume control in MIDI (via a CC) can be somewhat tricky to implement right, this is why I suspect there are no many ADSR MIDI plugins. I am planning though some updates to mLFO, one of which will contain some pseudo ADSRs (the shape of the waveform will resemble one) so that it could approximate one! Thanks again and have a nice evening!
Nice find mate and it's built in Audiokit! I left a comment here but I think RUclips deleted it because it had a link but what I asked was if you had a chance to mess with the LFOH! app by K Devices?
Yup I have that app. Haven’t had time to properly use it but I’ve gone over the settings and it offers a huge amount of waveform shaping. Really sweet!
I am thinking of getting an LFO as I am getting into ambient music generation Should I get this or lfoch by Alexey Nadzharov or LFOH by K-Devices ? or is there a better one ?
Your video is excellent Jakob because of the AUM and general explanations and tips! Good job!... also, I've installed LFOH just now! Bargain! Found it on Gavinski's Tutorials.
“Ambient people” are listening. Hi Jakob, thanks for showing us great apps like this. But the slowest LFO’s are not on this planet! - “QUADRIVIUM” 12 moons mapped to 12 midi CC’s, clock scale up to 3,600,000ms, for a 10 year cycle!! (sorry, not iOS, on PC but can send out on 5 pin DIN)😁. Cheers to all.
Seems useful. It might be nice to have a way to limit how many channels its using, if you have other midi apps doing sequencing they often have something like 4 channels on their own, so that matrix could get pretty busy once you add synths etc. on top of that.
Hey Jakob, I know this is a little off topic but you’ve created several great AUM templates over the years. I’d love to see some or all of them up on Patchstorage now that AUM has its own page. Cheers!
Really useful video. Just for info, because it’d be serious overkill for just an LFO, MiRack has LFOs that claims to operate on longer timescales (I haven’t verified, for obvious reasons!). Seriously Slow LFO let’s you scale in months, and then there’s an extreme version of it that lets you scale up to “heat death of the universe”! Crazy, unless you’re doing one of those installations that change note every 600 years or something.
In actual Eurorack, the One Clock To Rule Them All is Pamela’s New Workout. Pam goes down to 10bpm- one beat every six seconds- and you can divide that by 512, then run it into the adjacent (in my rack) clock divider and divide by a further 128. That would clock an LFO with a period of a little over four and a half days. You could in theory assign a 1% probability to Pam and end up with an LFO with a four and a half day period that is triggered, on average, every fifteen months. And mine is not a complex system- with the simple addition of another clock divider, that fifteen months would become 160 years…
@@JakobHaq I’ve just read mLFO’s description in the App Store- it says it can go as low as one cycle per 130,442 beats. As AUM goes no lower than 20bpm (three seconds per beat) the slowest LFO rate that can be obtained is- four and a half days, again. Must be some sort of industry standard…
Jakob, I'm trying to replicate what you did in this excellent tutorial. At 7'58" when you get ready to set this up with Model D, LFO1 has CC20 already assigned to it, and LFO2 has CC21. Had you previously set these values in mLFO? Thanks.
127000 beats at 120bpm is 17h. Which makes me think - an LFO that works like an analog clock face, one with a 60s period, one with 60m, one with 12h. So your music is different at different times of day.
I have been searching for a seriously slow Midi CC envelope, doesn't seem to exist unfortunately.. MI rack has a LFO module by frozen wasteland that have time base in months =)
Size doesn’t matter it’s what you do with it. Take your time by Spiritualized from their Lazer Guided Melodies album, the longest sine wave in my known universe.
Great video! I noticed that the LFO won’t trigger when trigger option “host” is changed to “note”.I want to the LFO to run when I press the keys so when I’m recording I’m not mid cycle in the LFO.I like the idea of using it as a slow LFO but I want to use it as LFO mod as well
There are specific notes that trigger the lfo’s. LFO 1 is triggered by note 60, LFO 2 by note 61 and so on. Note 60 is a “C”, Note 61 “C#” etc. however it can be C1, C2, C3, C4 and up since there is no standard and different devs might choose different octaves for the note count. If you’re testing out with the AUM built in keyboard then note 60 is C4, 61 is C#4 etc. it’s even marked on the keyboard. If you’re using external MIDI keyboard I suggest use LFO 1, trigger C4 on your keyboard and then switch octave up or down until it the LFO triggers. The keyboard might count note numbers differently as I hinted above. Also, make sure that the LFO you’re trying to trigger is [ON].
I’ve been trying to figure out what good the Seriously Slow LFO from Frozen Wasteland (on miRack) is, with cycles all the way down to “Heat Death” range. 🐌🐌🐌😂
Hi, Achilleas here, the developer of mLFO - you can actually solo any LFO either by long-pressing on its power icon inside the Edit view, or by long-pressing on the LFO's shape view on the Grid view.
This is very cool. I don’t understand why the developer chose to require iOS 14 or newer. There is no reason the compatibility cannot go back to iOS 11. Cannot use this as I am using iOS 12!

Got it today, it's been fun in AUM.
It'd be cool if updates gave us more LFO shapes
The developer has improved this a ton since this video came out.

Sorry if I’m pointing out the obvious! Love the channel!
Loool this is GOLD content. I'm not sure what's better the fact that this vid exists or the fact the LFO is extra slow.
Thanks Jakob! This is a great app and vid! Glacial levels of modulation! Lovely!
Thanks for making this tutorial!

Hey Jacob, Thanks for the info…btw maybe the price is set up to change slowly over time?
Thats crazy cool,16 out wow! Thanks for the details
Thanks for the tutorial and turning me on to this great plugin. (And it uses MIT code? How cool!)
Thank you, Jakob! I've been longing for truly slow LFOs.
Same here! Now I’m hunting for slow envelopes!

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Wooow! Can’t believe you responded with such an awesome video! I am a very happy pigeon thanks 🙏
My pleasure,I like making pigeons happy! 🕊
Cooo!
Learning turning on /off LFOs is not needed if you just manual map cc numbers. Saves a lot of tapping and time.

Should I get this or lfoch by Alexey Nadzharov or LFOH by K-Devices ? or is there a better one ?
MLFO has been on my Radar for a while. Your video confirms my need to just buy it.

Could do with a solo function for ease of setting up midi learn. 😀

Thank you very much for your support! 👊
I am always surprised how fast the slowest lfo settings in any app are in most cases.
I have this app and never used it. How dumb am I?
Maybe the app's pricing is also tied to a very slow LFO.
😂😂
It doesn’t help me because I need a five million year cycle
