Guitar Rig 7 Pro - How to smooth the MODIFIER > LFO > RANDOM?

TORLEY

Is there some way the stepped output of the RANDOM LFO can be smoothed? I'm used to seeing a "smooth" modifier in various apps, but not it here. I want to add some chaos that's erratic but not so jagged.

I tried mapping other LFOs to a RANDOM LFO to "mellow" it out some and smooth it so it doesn't suddenly jump to new values — instead blending between them — but that isn't totally successful. I'd like to find an internal solution that doesn't require some additional Ableton device.

No, that is unfortunately not possible, but it's a great idea!

Thanks for confirming @Eddie_NI — I believe it'd extend the usefulness, especially now GR7 has new emphasis on character effects like the TAPE and NOISE. It'd enable things like a "random auto-pan" which has uneven drift, as well as other irregular and non-repeating events.

🤞 and big gratitude if you and team can add it in the not-too-distant future. 😊

We added a new "Smooth" parameter to the LFO when the "Random" waveform is selected with the Guitar Rig 7.0.2 update. I hope this is what you are looking for 😀

@Eddie_NI I've gotta hand it to ya, appreciate the visual annotation on this one! What a lovely present to have Guitar Rig 7.0.2!

One followup suggestion: make the waveform graphic actually represent the current cycle and animate it, so that it looks like it's getting smoother as I turn the knob. That realtime feedback would communicate the idea even more effectively... and fun!

Eddie_NI

Yes, I agree. That would be really useful. Also for the other waveforms.

But that is quite a bit of work.
