mLFO by Achilleas Sourlas - Released
https://apps.apple.com/app/id1602306976
Description:
*** Note ***
Although mLFO can run as a stand-alone app, the recommended way to use it is as an AUv3 plugin from inside a suitable AU Host app, such as AUM, AudioBus, Cubasis etc.
mLFO AUv3 is a set of 16 programmable MIDI LFOs with a extensive set of features:
- 16 MIDI LFOs.
- Every LFO comes with its own set of parameters, including maximum and minimum values, rate and phase.
- Wide rate range, 1/128 to 130442 beats.
- Available shapes: sine, triangle, square, sawtooth, reverse sawtooth, ramp /18, ramp 1/4 and ramp 1/2.
- 16 assignable outputs so that you can control up to 16 MIDI entities.
- Assign an LFO to any of the available MIDI CC controller on any MIDI channel of any of the output’s.
- 2 trigger modes: Host and Manual so that you can sync an LFO to the host’s playback or control it via a MIDI note.
- Almost all parameters are can be automated via any Host that supports AU parameter automation.

Been looking for an LFO that's a bit deeper than Rozeta. This one doesn't seem to have random or S&H, right? Can you modulate LFO parameters with other LFOs from the AU?
I know you use Drambo and wonder if you’ve looked into the LFOs there…and how this compares or differs…
Is this more akin to the OctaTtack LFOs and all the different wave/curve shapes?
Yes it works, you can send the first LFO to modulate the second and so on. The result is very unpredictable but I think this is what you are looking for ;0)
mLFO is 16 individual unassigned LFOs packaged in one AU. When you go to your midi routing all 16 LFOs are visible. Self routing seems to be a no go, as there aren’t corresponding ins available to the same instance. However another instance CAN modulate the other. My suggestion would be using another “brand” of LFO like BramBos unless you want 32 (2 mLFO instances) empty LFO channels populating your routing.
There are sine, triangle, sawtooth, square, and reverse sawtooth available, but no sample and hold.
Attention to all in the “I want longer LFOs” crowd—> Wide rate range, 1/128 to 130442 beats
Bonus: you can NAME the LFOs
Self-routing works
I do use Drambo, though I've found that it can be a bit cumbersome and a PITA to use, sometimes. It's an amazing app, but I don't think I have the patience to always be setting up new things (even with saved presets). I may grab this LFO, but we'll see.
More cumbersome than an OctaTrack?
What is that liability claim at the end of the App Store description. I figure they are covering their bases, but It’s confusing. Anyone want to boil that down?
I’m all over this. Loading one of these instead of 2-5 Rozeta LFOs will be useful. Would like to hear a few opinions though?
miRack = infinite LFOs, but I'll get it at this price. Lfos on everything!
@cuscolima obviously I did something wrong
Looks good, but it’s a shame that it doesn’t do S&H
Anything that doesn't have buttons/knobs for me is more cumbersome. The touchscreen just isn't enough feedback for me. The OT isn't really all that cumbersome for me, either. I do wish it had some more features, but overall, it's glorious.
What about Midi LFOs by the beloved Art Kerns?
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/midilfos-midi-modulation-toy/id998273841?ls=1
I like this and Rozeta, but I'd like something that requires the least exiting and entering various windows and matrixes.
I bought it for the price. I'll find a use for it!
It is only $2.99, I have the art kerns incarnation too. While I don’t think it’s anything amazing I think it’ll help my workflow a little.
I love the beloved Art Kerns
Does anyone know where to reach the developer? Are they in the forum? Be nice to request a random and S&H waveform.
Caved.
It's just the standard stuff when using a third party library, in this case AudioKit. The App Store description is just an odd place to put it. It's usually in an "about" dialog somewhere in the software.
(In fact, unless it's in the software itself, including it in the App Store description doesn't even technically meet the requirement to be included in all copies of the software.)
I was going to skip this one as midiLFO's is all I really need. But I looked at the screenshots and really like that you can label the outputs. That's dope.
However, I can't tell from the app description whether LFO's can be tempo independent. Can anyone tell me if LFOs can be free-running - set in hz?
Just heard from the dev and sample and hold is scheduled for the next release...👍
No - linked to host tempo but very fine adjustments over a huge range are possible (0.008 - 130000 beats and anything in between to 3 decimal places). The way the rate is changed is a little complex and based on a set of multipliers and a divider which work to a formula but once you get the hang of it it's OK.
Thanks for that answer. That’s unfortunate. I will skip it then. I don’t want to be forced into LFO’s changing speed if I change tempo 🧐. That’s a deal breaker. Too bad. The LFO labeling is a great feature.
Can it at least run when the host isn’t running?
There's only a play button present in the standalone (as you'd expect). In all versions the individual lfos can be triggered by assignable midi notes without the host running. The dev seems pretty responsive to feature requests so it may be worth contacting him...
Thanks @enkaytee.
What’s the overhead like? I noticed that it’s powered by Audiokit, and apps based off Audiokit haven’t historically been the most efficient.
Bit tricky to quantify, but running 4 lfos into an instance of Factory only seems to add around 1-2% to DSP. I'll try to test with more lfos sometime today...
