The idea is to allow the user to sync any LFO to the host DAW transport to be able to get exactly teh same results every time a song is played or rendered.
Right now the LFOs in "C" mode (continuous) are agnostic to the host transport. A little "S" ("sync to host transport") checkbox next to the "C" button could be a solution in the interface.
Effects that have LFOs should have this too, so we can get predictible results with chorus, flanger, alien wah etc...
I sometimes make patches that defpend heavily on continuous LFOs to bring motion, but I can never know how will it sound - every time I render the song it's different. I'd like to be able to contrain this so it can be more predictible.
Yeah, this should be done at some point. There's another LFO sync (tempo) issue on this tracker and for both it's mostly just routing the information into the big old hierarchy of synthesis. I'm not sure how tight the 3.0.0 schedule is, so for now I'm going to mark this as a 3.1.0 feature.
Work in progress already. Just check out the open PRs on the zyn repo.
