kitchen sync is a tempo-sync complex LFO that modulates 4 functions
- 4 state filter (LP, HP, BP, notch)
- flanger
- volume
- panning













- tempo-sync LFO with multiple waveforms modulated by second LFO and/or ADSR envelope
- both LFOs can be synced to start cycle by any midi note on message
- ADSR envelope can be triggered by any midi note on message
- 4 effects can be modulated: filter cutoff, flanger, volume, pan
- LFO 1 phase, depth and offset can be different for each effect
- LFO 2 phase, strength and origin can be different fo each effect
- ADSR envelope is independant for each effect
- LFO depth can be randomised each cycle
- full midi CC / midi learn
- plugin wet/dry mix control

Controls

Each effect can be selected using the 4 button menu at the top of the right hand box. There is an on/off button above each to only turn on the desired effects

LFO 1
inv - invert the phase by 180 deg, useful to get contrast with another effect
rnd - randomises the depth each cycle
depth - the total depth from peak to trough of the LFO
offset - move the LFO depth up or down to change the range covered by the LFO
you can offset the LFO outside of the operating range of the LFO, in which case the signal is limited at the upper and lower ends and will clip the output, this can be useful to get the signal to remain high or low for part of the cycle

LFO 2
inv - invert the phase by 180 deg
strength - how much LFO2 modulated LFO1
origin - the start point of LFO2 modulation
0= starts from zero and increases depth, modulating between 0 and depth
5= starts from centre and increases depth above and below centre
10= starts from max and increases, modulating between max and depth

Env
turn on to get a midi triggered envelope to modulate LFO1 depth
YOU MUST HAVE A MIDI INPUT INTO KITCHEN SYNC TO MAKE THIS FUNCTION WORK
Hold any note to trigger the envelope and get a gradual fade in/out of the LFO
A,D & R are in ms
S = sustain level

Filter
Cutoff is modulated by LFO1
choose from Low Pass, High Pass, Band Pass or Notch filter
adjust resonance to taste

Flanger
Adjust wet/dry mix and feedback to taste


midi learn
- press the 'learn' button
- led will light
- tweak a GUI control
- tweak your midi controller knob/slider/button/whatever
- led will go out
- controller will now move the GUI control

- press 'reset' button to remove all learned controls

update history
2.0 is a complete rewrite, gets LFO2, ADSR, midi sync, independant LFO settings per effect, midi learn and new GUI
1.2 adds mix wet/dry control
1.1.2 is a minor GUI change to add a custom scope
1.1.1 is a minor bug fix to the waveform selector and a cleaned up GUI
1.1 adds function to select between LFO, LFO invert and random, ability to type values into controls and smaller GUI footprint. Projects using 1.0 will not function correctly using 1.1, sorry
