Detailed Description

A module that produces random low-frequency oscillations (LFOs) for modulation purposes.

The RandomLfoModule generates random LFO signals that can be synced to tempo or run freely. It offers parameters for controlling the LFO style, frequency, stereo spread, and synchronization behavior. When triggered by note events, the LFO can reset to ensure consistency on each note start.

A new RandomLfoModule instance that is a clone of this one.

Reimplemented from vital::SynthModule.

correctToTime()

void vital::RandomLfoModule::correctToTime ( double seconds )

overridevirtual

Adjusts the LFO to a given time position.

Adjusts the internal LFO timing to the given playback time.

This ensures that the LFO phase and internal timing align with the provided playback time.

Parameters

seconds	The playback time in seconds to which to align the LFO.
seconds	The playback time in seconds.

Reimplemented from vital::SynthModule.

init()

void vital::RandomLfoModule::init ( )

overridevirtual

Initializes the RandomLfoModule by creating and connecting control parameters to the internal RandomLfo.

Initializes the RandomLfoModule by creating parameter controls and connecting them to the LFO.

This includes frequency (either free or tempo-synced), style, stereo, and sync type settings.

This includes:

• Frequency control (with tempo sync option).
• Style selection to determine the character of the random LFO.
• Stereo parameter for stereo spread.
• Sync type parameter to determine how the LFO behaves in relation to the host tempo.
