RND + HLD > ANYWHERE
.
I use this 99% of time
add a little human to a parameter
maybe a little extra decay on a hi-hat
used subtly it can break the machine feel
don’t forget the FX page !!
On the A4 this distinction would be more important, but on the AR many of the machines’ parameters are formed (&frozen) once at the instant of trigging, so LFO modulation subsequent to creation is academic - some params will be variable after step creation, but many are not, so using free or hold will often have the same effect - HLD just keeps it simple/static between steps for faster LFOs
.
as discussed further back, using Hold with a ramp envelope and phase is a great way to create static offsets, especially as mod depth is fine on an LFO, so it’s a great way to fine tune coarse params

HLD made a wonderful difference. Thanks for that.
Here is a simple and efficient use of LFO that works well IMO:
I recently use the LFO a lot on panning my HH.
I find that it allows me to place my HH better in the mix.
It changes a bit the property of the sound and add a kind of fuzzy FM harmonics, but if you keep Dept low (< 20) the result is very satisfying.
SPD 16
MUL 32 - 64
FAD 0
DST PAN
WAV TRI
SPH 0
MOD FREE
DEP +10 / +15
When I want to “strech” a track in the stereo field, i use either a short DELAY with high FEEDBACK and high WIDTH --OR-- LFO on panning
I use the LFO on the attack of the amp page, this can sort of control how the sound creeps in. Also good on hihat, not only the decay´s. Also good on cymbals.
