<aside> ⚠️ This panel is in the extended section of Oddity3. To view it, click the “Expand” tab in the top right-hand corner of the instrument.

</aside>

Use this section to apply an independent X-LFO and/or X-ADSR to almost any of Oddity3’s main instrument slider parameters. First click on the slider or knob for the parameter that you wish to modulate, you’ll see blue selection corners surround the slider or knob to indicate it is the target for the X-LFO and X-ADSR.

Then apply an X-LFO amount via the X-LFO Amp slider and/or an X-ADSR amount via the Amp knob. You’ll see a blue glow surround the slider or knob, as you turn up the amp values, it’ll glow more.

There is almost no limit to the amount of separate X-LFOs and X-ADSRs you can apply and by using the Copy and Paste buttons it’s easy to apply the same settings to different parameters. However, you cannot apply an X-LFO or X-ADSR to switches.

<aside> ⚠️ When the ms/Beats switch is set to ‘Beats’ all X-LFO and X-ADSR controls are synchronized to host tempo and all time-based parameters are given in beats.

When the ms/Beats switch is set to ‘ms’ X-LFO and X-ADSR controls are not synchronized to host tempo and all time-based parameters are given in milliseconds.

Copy Button

Use the COPY button to copy ALL current modulation settings (both X-LFO and X-ADSR) into the internal clipboard.

Paste Button

Use PASTE to apply copied settings to another slider parameter. This is very useful to quickly duplicate modulation settings across a large amount of slider parameters.

Clear Button

Use the CLEAR button to set all X-LFO and X-ADSR controls to their default value. Essentially off.

Holding the command (Mac) or control (PC) button and clicking Clear will clear all X-Modifier assignments across all Oddity3 parameters.

X-LFO

Screenshot 2022-09-30 at 11.00.38.png

This section provides control over the X-LFO parameters and waveforms. Whenever an Oddity3 slider parameter is being affected by an additional X-LFO it will glow blue. A brighter blue illumination indicates that the parameter has a greater amount of X-LFO and/or X-ADSR applied.

Waves

There are 10 X-LFO waveforms. These are selected by clicking on the appropriate waveform button. The waveforms are as follows.

| Sine | The default waveform. | | --- | --- | | Triangle | A waveform with a linear transition between maximum and minimum (and vice versa). | | Ramp Up | The waveform goes linearly from the minimum point to the maximum point. | | Ramp Down | Like Ramp up, but in the other direction. | | Cosine Up | A bit like Ramp up, but the LFO rises more gently at the extreme points (a kind of shelf). | | Cosine Down | Like Cosine up, but in the other direction. | | Square | The LFO stays a half-period at the maximum point, then the other half-period at the minimum point. | | Random | This waveform is a chaotic oscillator. It is based on a sine wave, sometimes slowing down, sometimes accelerating, or even going back and forth. These random variations always keep the same average phase. | | Brown Noise | The LFO value changes randomly, combining wide and slow moves with small and fast oscillations. With a very long period, this kind of LFO is perfect to give a parameter a natural and nervous random variation. | | Red Noise | A bit like Brown Noise, but fast variations are more damped, giving even smoother random movements. |
