you first need to sync the lfo.......
then use the lfo to trigger a filter.......then play with speed and amount of lfo........and play with the filter type.

I vote for changing the term LFO to LFW: Low Frequency Wobble.

i also like the wobble......but when its used sparingly and in the right context....i hate it when every record someone puts out has it on though. in fact that really winds me up......so wobble if you must.....but use it only sparingly, and for good only. to much wobble can turn you to the darkside.

I agree with munki.
But an LFO is much more than just "Wobble".
Using two or three together,assigned to different things, you get all sorts of madness, like really nice evolving pads of searing bass lines.
Im sure most people know this already, I just dont want new producers to think that all an LFO does is "Wobble", thats all.

exactly. lfo can be used for panning for ex. which has nothing to do with the character of sound..

All about detuning IMO, you don't make a reese wobble by adding an LFO to a single saw do you? You make it wobble by getting two saws and detuning one of them.

Depends on what sort of wobble you want though.

I think GLS just hit it on the nose... This technique will produce a "wobbly" reece sounding bass, especially when playing in more than one octave. Try detuning one saw to -20 and the other to 20, mess with the filters and you'll be on yer way to wobbledom.

how does detune work exactly?

usually gives a shimmery sound, but not the phat one that all good dance leads in albino use, or reece lines. the phat sound is from LFo changing the waveform. i shit you not.

edit event like you were to draw it.

than in file>tools>LFO

it's like the only thing in there.

it will go for one bar. if you want to go beyond the one bar, than you just have to draw anything beyond the first bar, and it will affect the entire bar it's in.

Depends what you're using but if you're just using a sample press the INS (instrument properties) button on the channel settings and go down to LFO. You can use it to control the filter, volume, pan etc. Its pretty basic but it can save you drawing it in every pattern.

Automation clips can be good as well.

whenver i try and get the bass to wobble, I can do it right, but the problem is for eg. if im playing the bass out of matrix, and the tunes running, there will be a cycle over say 8 bars or whatever, and it will go quiter and louder over that time, in a cycle, not ideal for what im trying to achieve cos i cant control the phase its in, a good example is the recent tune called "too bad" by uh.... taxman. check it. how does he get that shit? i can see that by sampling one good wobble you could just repeat that , but thats not really possible in reason. WHAGWAN?
