SYNTRONIK 2 LFO Rate BROKEN

[Dan33609]

Ever since i got Syntronik 2, i was beyond disappointed with this basic broken functionality:

The LFO's rate cannot be modulated smoothly. What haoppens is the LFO turns into a garbled noisy mess when rate is adjusted, making smooth rate modulations IMPOSSIBLE. This can heard and SEEN in the LFO display.

I have detailed this to support AGES ago, with a video in which i compared Syntronik to the freeware PG8x synth that is able to do this basic task flawlessly. In fact, every other synth on the planet does.

Syntronik sounds fantastic. But it is let down by this. And btw, this is Syntronik 2.
V1 synths don't appear to exhibit this flaw!

Would any staffers care to look at this please?

Sorry to hear you are having trouble and note that if you have a ticket/issue that you feel is not being handled to your satisfaction you should see this post about forum guidelines which will explain how to submit that: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=19505

Thank you.

oops. Sorry to have broken the rules. I can see why the "no tech support" rule is in place. Must happen a lot! I will go to support again.
Meanwhile, can any users confirm this?

Not a rule violation per se, just the guidelines have a nice fairly direct way to get something escalated efficiently. It is still a great idea to bump support if you have a ticket (you can reply at any time to the emails) and also to reach out to users in case there is a workaround or at very least some "I feel your pain" and then we can all go from there

I am "comfortably numb". I cannot reproduce the problem here. Maybe I am doing it wrong

Can you post the steps to set up the synth; the automation you used and the video?

Support confirmed this, and have forwarded it to the development team. I look forward to the fix. Hope it's not long. Thank you!

Updated to 2.1.3.

Unfortunately this issue has not been fixed.

edit: Previously I was advised by support to use the LFO filter FX in the meantime.

This does smoothly adjust the rate, but the un-synced rate maximum is 2.8Hz (!).
This un-synced rate maximum is very limited and is not sufficient for typical filter LFO rate FX sounds.
The synced lfo rate goes far higher. However, sweeping the synced rate is not suitable for natural sounding rate sweeps.
