Super Low LFO frequency

Made a new topic to discuss, rather than clutter the "Wish List"

What frequency are you looking to achieve?

I assume that you are adjusting with Midi CC (which is 7bit). The LFO rate parameter is actually stored within the config as a 14bit value. You may have more luck/joy/success adjusting the config and then uploading that....

It appears that setting LFO Rate to '1' with CC actually sets an internal value of '13'. Bizarrely using the knob the minimum you can set is '16'.

Code: Select all
$ amidi -p hw:1,0,0 -S "B4 43 01"
$ python3 uno_synth.py -d -r | grep lfo_rate
        lfo_rate = 13


I made some presets with various low values for LFO rate:

If you want to set LFO Rate directly, you can use the following (unofficial) SysEx.

Code: Select all
$ amidi -p hw:1,0,0 -S 'f0 00 21 1a 02 01 30 00 01 20 22 00 24 f7'
                                                            ^^ low 7 bits
                                                         ^^ high 7bits

I was asked about changing other parameters directly via SysEx, the same command can be used... for example setting scale to "Mixolydian C#"

Code: Select all
 
$ amidi -p hw:1,0,0 -S 'f0 00 21 1a 02 01 30 00 02 00 05 08 00 06 03 f7'
                                                                  ^^ 7bit value
                                                            ^^ ^^ Type
                                                         ^^ 7bit value
                                                   ^^ ^^ Type
                                                ^^ count


It does not set/change the tempo, I guess that is "special".
