I am a new Moog LP Owner and am trying to figure out how to sync the LFO and Arpeggiator with the Internal Clock. When I assign LFO Rate and Arpeggiator to Internal in the System Menu, I would assume that they would both sync since they are running off the same clock source, but they don’t seem to sync.
Am I doing something wrong?
It seems like the LFO rate knob will work once the internal clock is selected, but it doesn’t seem to truly sync to the clock (more like a free running LFO).
When the arpeggiator is activated, the arp syncs to the clock fine, but the rate control effects both arp and LFO, so I can’t adjust the LFO rate to match it (even with Tap Tempo). Is there not a way to have both the LFO and Arp truly internally synced?
I’m just trying to get the LFO to be a different division of beat than the Arp (but synced!) to control the Filter Cutoff. I read a few things on here about similar issues, can anyone help explain this? Thank you so much!!!
So I figured out how to sync the Arpeggiator to the LFO rate but this way I don’t get the benefit of syncing to a BPM, just free-running; still don’t understand why they won’t sync when assigned to internal clock though. Anyone have any thoughts or advice? Thanks!
The LFO is free running. You can sync the LFO rate and arp to internal clock, but where you are in the LFO waveform when you start up the arp could be anywhere. Like you said syncing the LFO to the arp does do this, but without bpm readout. You could use tap-tempo on the LFO rate if that helps. If you absolutely need bpm read out and LFO start synced with arp start you currently need an external clock/sequencer. When the LP is synced to midi clock a sequencer restart command retriggers the LFO. I am not sure if the LP would retrigger the LFO with the same command while set to internal clock. I am hoping for LFO retrigger at note-on in a future OS update. That would take care of your problem with most applications.
