A filter wobble in time with the beat

Pick the value LFO on , aim it at the cutoff on the filter page and give it a tempo-synced speed; the amount sets how far the filter swings.

A wobble is a filter sweep that repeats in time, the sound of a hand rocking the cutoff knob back and forth. Faster synced speeds make it busier, slower ones turn it into a long rise and fall over the bar. Parameter locks on the LFO speed for single steps give the classic change of pace in the middle of a phrase.

How to

Make the filter on T3 wobble in time

before you start instrument mode

  1. 1
  2. 2 the LFO types
  3. 3 highlight value
  4. 4 takes it; press `M4` if the page changed
  5. 5 a synced speed, such as 4
  6. 6 amount around 60
  7. 7 destination filter
  8. 8 parameter 1, the cutoff

Give the wobble something to move

  1. 1 press it again if the page shows off
  2. 2 cutoff around 40
  3. 3 resonance around 45

Details

  • The value LFO turns one encoder of the track's pages up and down by itself, like a hand moving the knob in a loop.

    worked out
  • Destination on E3 picks the page, filter for a wobble, and parameter on E4 picks the encoder there; cutoff is the first of the filter page's four.

    TE’s guide
  • Over the anti-clockwise part of its range the speed follows the tempo, so the wobble stays locked to the beat.

    TE’s guide
  • On the plain filter destination the wobble restarts with every note, so each note wobbles the same way; its free twin keeps running across notes.

    TE’s guide
  • A moderate cutoff with some resonance on makes the sweep easy to hear; with the cutoff fully open there is little left to move.
