Hi, thanks for the software! I'm using Lorenz as a modulation source, but it appears that amplitude decreases greatly as I slow down the rate. Is there a high pass / DC blocking filter somewhere in there? Here's my code, in Supercollider: {SinOsc.ar(freq: 100 * (2 ** LADSPA.ar(1,1774,0.01,1,1,0,100)))}.play thanks again, Mark Hadman On 25 August 2013 01:00, Tim Goetze <tim@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > [Fons Adriaensen] > >>On Sun, Aug 25, 2013 at 12:21:52AM +0200, Tim Goetze wrote: >> >>> I'm planning to evade this problem by crossfading between two parallel >>> static filters.
