Chapter 60: TL EveryPhase 297
Waveform
The Waveform selector (Triangle, Ramp, Sine,
etc.) determines the wave shape used by the
LFO. The waveform shape in use is graphically
depicted by the movement of the scanning bars
in the Modulation meter.
LFO Triggers
By default, the LFO cycles continuously through
the selected waveform. The LFO can be set to cy-
cle through the selected waveform just once, or
it can be triggered by MIDI Beat Clock, the En-
velope, or manually.
Single When the Single trigger is selected, the
LFO will cycle thru the waveform once only and
then stop.
Beat Clock When the Beat Clock trigger is se-
lected, the LFO synchronizes to MIDI Beat
Clock. TL EveryPhase receives Beat Clock signal
every 64th-note. The Duration menu determines
how often the Beat Clock signal triggers TL Ev-
eryPhase, ranging from every 16th-note to every
4 bars. When Beat Clock signal is received, the
Beat Clock trigger light blinks brightly. Using
the Beat Clock function enables TL EveryPhase
to produce consistent phasing results, ensuring
that the LFO is always in the same state at each
beat.
Envelope When the Envelope trigger is selected,
the LFO is triggered directly by the Envelope de-
tector, which listens to the audio signal. If the
Side-Chain Input selector in the Envelope sec-
tion is activated, then the side-chain audio sig-
nal is used instead. When activated, the Enve-
lope light blinks brighter when an audio signal
is detected. The threshold level can be adjusted
using the Threshold control in the Envelope sec-
tion.
If the Envelope Detector is completely released
due to previous portions of the audio signal go-
ing above threshold, a trigger occurs the next
time the audio goes above the threshold level.
Another trigger will not happen until the Enve-
lope Detector has completely released after the
audio goes below the specified threshold. Thus,
increasing the Release slider will reduce the rate
at which triggers can occur and decreasing the
Release time increases the rate at which triggers
can occur.
Manual When the Manual trigger is selected, the
LFO is triggered manually. This can be espe-
cially useful if you want to trigger the LFO using
Pro Tools automation.
With control surfaces and automation, the Man-
ual trigger acts like an on/off switch and triggers
the LFO every time it changes state.
