LFOs........

:roll: Feel like many of us have been asking for decent LFO's for years.

PLease top with the terrible awful inplementation of LFO's. A speed knob that reports a percentage in the hint bar, with 0 indication of what time multiplication it is anywhere to be seen, is not useful to anyone. You're making it harder than it needs to be, and for what reason? It makes us jump through hoops just to get an LFO in time with our tracks. Zooming out (or in) and making sure the tiny tiny lines hit the right time line points to stay in time. No way of easily making the LFO start at a different point of it's phase, other than using slip editing once you've made the LFO. How mad is that? Infuriating.

Literally everytihng about the LFO tool (and it's not just this one, it's practically every LFO in fl studio other than the peak controller, which is decades old)

Nowhere, on this LFO interface, does it say anything about time. LFO's are time based. Why show us a window like that? What other plugin does that. None, and that's because you don't need to see 32 bars of an LFO shape. You just want to set the time, with a click or two. Not look at a graph and check your lines are right. It just baffles the mind, it really does.

Can we please just have a normal LFO that doesnt make us spend 5 minutes tweaking, when all it should take is 3 seconds and two clicks.

Just one look at literally any LFO in any plugin in the last 20 years and you can see how it can be done better. Hell even vintage plugins have an easier way to sync up to time. Even 20 year old hardware synths with MIDI are quicker to get in sync than this method.

EDIT. i now see that changng your master snap settings will show you a better colour display in the automation window. But who wants to keep changing that all the time to set an LFO.
