Subject: [korgpolyex] LFO update

Hi Poly fans,

Well, it's just been way too quiet around this list lately so let me
whet your appetites with some even more interesting news.

I've hacked 90% of the code for the LFO. I expect that I'll have a
second LFO operating within a few more weeks.

I've worked out how the LFO is retriggered on each key hit so we can
make that a user selectable option to disable the retrigger. Plus,
we'll have an option on the second LFO to allow it to simply free run.

I've almost worked out the mathematics of the LFO saw tooth so we can
now change that to include square wave and possibly ramp with
selectable inversion. I'll work on the square wave first. The only
limitation I can find in the existing design is that if we slow the
LFO down a lot then we are probably going to hear the DtoA stepping,
especially on the VCF with higher resonance settings.

At this point, the only limitation is that the second LFO will be set
up in the global parameters section and will apply to all patches. The
reason for this is that I am going to have to completely rewrite the
patch editing/copying etc code to allow additional parameters and that
is going to take quite a bit of work. So I would rather get the new
LFO features out there and then go back and rework the patch management.

Enjoy!

Mike.
