Feature Request Cthulhu & LFO tool

Started by M-Prod

Dear Steve,
I'm loving your plugins (Serum, LFO tool, Cthulhu). Especially LFO tool never seizes to amaze me in its flexibility. Auto panning, transient design, copy graphs to serum and back, cc automation. In Bitwig this all works excellent since the tracks are hybrid so no need to setup separate tracks.

I have two feature requests.

First Cthulhu:
1 -I would like to combine chord triggers with note triggers, similar to the arp in logic. One option is an extra row for chord trigger ("as is" so no transposition). Another (even better) option would be an extra row to switch a column into a chord trigger column as if chord mode was enabled for just that step. So with the ability for transposition and all. It would need to have a slightly different colour to differentiate from the regular arp steps.

2- Step muting enabled in the other tabs. I often spend quite some time in the velocity tab but if I want to turn off steps I need to go back to the note tab.

LFO tool:
1 -Because of the hybrid tracks in Bitwig, all midi and audio passes through LFO tool. No need for a separate track if I want to trigger the LFO tool while it is after a synth/sampler. The downside is the graph selection also react to midi notes. I would therefore like a way to turn this off. Now when I put an LFO tool on an instrument track the graph selection often goes haywire because of the midi notes in the range 1-59. In general I don't think a midi note should double with two functions.

A workaround is to put a (Bitwig) midi filter before LFO tool which then also filters the notes that I do want let through for Note regtrigger/gate. A second workaround is to work with separate tracks and notes. But I would prefer if I could just tell LFO tool to leave the graph sections as they are.
In short. I would like to be able to turn off the "change graphs via midi notes". An option could be to only allow these via a separate (from LFO trigger) channel. In that way I just can filter that channel.

[ok while writing this - funny how that works -I thought of a third workaround. I put a group of two midi note pitch shifters that collectively pitch all notes by 59 notes so nothing gets in the lower range]

2 -updated graph editing similar to Serum. So ramp drawing and shortcuts etc.

re: LFOTool,
Shift-click the XFER logo on LFOTool and you can edit the LFOToolConfig.txt file

[0] Disable MIDI if Note Retrig is disabled
[0] MIDI notes 0-59 (to change graph assignments) have priority over retrig, etc.

You might want to change the above entries to [1], if I understand.

Yes! that works thanks. To be exact I needed to set them to 0 and 1. That way only note retrigger works. I'm sorry I now see this was in the manual (I do read them ;-) )
