Yesterday I was working on a project, the Virus was playing away nicely & one of the patches I had made was making use of all 3 LFOs merrily modulating away without a care. When I finished up last night, I saved my Logic project & this morning I've came back to it to finish the whole thing off.
On my first complete run through the project today, things didn't sound right & I put it down to the phase of LFO 3 being out compared to how I left it last night. It's a triangle on a 16 bar cycle & I had left it so that this particular patch wasn't coming in until bar 17, the LFO was at the lowest point of it's cycle - everything was how I needed it.
Today I initially thought that the phase of the LFO had moved either 12 bars forward or 4 bars back depending on how you look at it, no problem I thought, I'll just adjust the start point of the project. It still wasn't sounding right, so now I'm scratching my head, all the settings are as I left them last night, I don't know what's happened.
I stopped playing through the project & I was just pressing a key down while I thought about what was wrong when the LFO "jumped" to the bottom of it's cycle, exactly like a sawtooth would, but this is set to triangle - there shouldn't be any jumping.
Now, here's the strange bit, once it's jumped to the bottom of the cycle, if I keep holding the key then it's acting as it should, if I let go of the key then press it again the same thing happens. I've tried switching through different shapes then back to triangle to see if that helps, but it doesn't make any difference.
I haven't tried swapping the lfos around yet to see if this is happening with all of them, I came to post this here first to see if anyone else has experienced this or knows of a work around. I'm on 4.5.3.00 & apart from the soft knob destinations I've mentioned elsewhere on the forum this is the only hiccup which is having an impact on me being able to work that I'm having.
