If LFO is synced, you cannot modulate the rate anymore!

    It would be nice if you can also chance the synced Rate of an LFO, not just the free running one!

    That doesn't make much sense for a tempo synced source, since the steps are much coarser and the modulation would never be smooth as it is with the regular Hz LFO...

    It does make sense if you think about Dubstep. I also would like to modulate the synced LFOs...

    ...tbh, doesn't make any sense to me either. Wouldn't it be enough to automate the synced frequency?

    It is also possible to automate the free rate, why not the synced one? Im a sound designer, I need really many possibilities and this I really miss!
    Yes Dubstep is a good example but also other kinds of music need this!
    And please, just because you make another kind of music, it is no rule for EVERYBODY!

    It IS possible to automate the synced rate - both the numerator and the denumerator, separately.

    It is not possible to automate with a internal LFO or ENvelope or Step sequencer.

    I'd use automation for this task anyways.

    No, I make patches and you cannot save automations with you patch to use it somewhere else.but with the step sequencer you can use complex wobbling tasks everywhere else.

    I support this, and agree that it has more uses than dubstep!

    .....And almost one year ago since posted and after some "Massive" updates, it is not fixed!

    I'm sure, that all the feature suggestion forums are NOT monitored by the product design team! Im very sure, because as example, I posted some major bugs of other native instrument products years ago more than one time and I have spoken with the ni support last week and they didnt know it until I told it via telephone!

    This is just a little fix and there were some "Massive" updates but no fix of this little important thing!

    Bump and another +1 (again for this), it just seems lazy or incomplete to not allow internal modulation to such a powerful sound designing option.
