Hey beautiful people of lines :black_heart:

I would greatly enjoy some additional LFOs for some of my non-modular gear. So, apart from using my computer/iPad/Digitakt, are there standalone pieces of gear that

  • generate multiple LFOs with reasonable controls over waveform/speed/sync/etc,

  • send those LFOs over MIDI,

  • let you specify MIDI channels and CCs for those LFOs,

  • and are not a Norns?

Like what Mutable Instruments MIDIpal was. Or a bit like an O_C/Pam’s with a MIDI expander. Or something else?

Could something like this be relatively easily built on some open platform like Arduino or Teensy?

Interesting! Thanks for the tip. I’d appreciate something with direct controls rather than an editor but that’s an excellent start nonetheless.

Agreed, I know there is a midi LFO app for iPad I have seen as well.

The Conductive Labs NDLR has some midi LFO’s

MidiALF (in addition to being a super fun sequencer) has 2 midi LFOs and 2 CC sequences:

Maybe you are thinking of Ribn ? I’ve only ever used it in-the-box, but it’s worked well when I have. Given the ubiquity of USB midi I keep meaning to try it on some hardware + my phone.

i literally just asked this question last night on MuffWigglers!

anyhow…even though i would prefer hardware…a friend of mine pointed me to this plugin:

Haha, great minds… I’ll keep checking that MW thread then too

Ribn is great, using it a lot with modular through the Expert Sleepers FH-2

Squarp Pyramid can have 4 lfo midi effects per track and can have 64 tracks all set to one midi channel in theory but there might be some sort of midi even kind of limit before you get that far. I use it with my digitone and have used 12 lfo’s at one to one midi channel.

If you end up using the computer & ableton, suzuki kentaro has really interesting m4L LFOs that you could control with something like 16n and then send the midi out via some sort of interface.

This is exactly the kind of thing I’m after but with a bit of a simpler box than pyramid.

Yes, his LFO tools are great. I’ve been using them inside Live. For this I’m more after a dedicated box.
