You can use Logic’s LFO midi fx to do this. Select the plugin parameter you want to control directly from the LFO plugin.
If you want to control multiple parameters from a single LFO, you can use the script linked here to target multiple parameters. Output a midi cc from the LFO then convert that cc to whatever plugin parameters you want (including any plugin in the current channel):

after purchase, almost all parameters are mappable via midi
Wow, I am having so much fun with blip box, I knew I should have gotten it before now.
I have all of the iOS drum apps, and find blip box to be a legit alternative to FAC and at 4.99 rn? Yes, please.
Works great with OCTACHRON and your favorite shaper.
Get it before 09/08/24 to get it for half off!
Blib is great, but I am missing a panning per voice function. I hope the devs will implement this in the future.
+1
Let me see if I can contact the developer about this.
edit* just did, will let you know if I get an answer.
Only using blip because you cant use 10 + fac drum.
Why cant it just be like fac drum though.
Where midi dosent switch the screens ( set focus seems either hit or miss )
Cant see a scenrio where the screens switching is a plus.
If you want to tweak a track parameters.
You should just choose the track etc ( like fac drum )
May have to delete this nightmare and just use a few drambo modules ( for maybe toms )
but would have liked to have gained the 16 sounds of the au's ( per track )
Its the most stupid desicion im afraid.
There isnt a scenario where midi would be best to keep triggering screens
( I guess its where the tracks are also triggers )
Fac either has a pad screen.
but more importantly just an audition pad for the track you are on.
So the track buttons arnt even triggers and you can just choose the track you wish to tweak.
Doubt dev will read.
You made a mistake by adding triggers on the app and having to set focus.
I doubt I can get used to setting focus, as it either dont work or the way Im needing to design and sequence would be too nutty.
Should have just kept it same as fac drum.
This is all fac drums.
Which is fine because I can make it fm etc.
So dont really need blip for quirkyness but an au is prone to crash ( after 10 au )
Adding blip would offest the au amount but cant use because of issue described.
Hopefully fac dosent crash.
This instrument is siiiick! Just grabbed it and running it thru doctor vibe!
I wish it had more presets for kicks and hats….
Anyone wanna share some with me 🫠 I’ll gladly accept haha
This reminds me a lot of my volca drum. A great device as well
@rygrob have you ever considered adding a randomizer to each sound 🙏
@reasOne I got 2 kits to share, electro/techno flavored.
Dude! These are sweet! Much thank you!
Kool kits, Slush. Thanks!
@NeuM @reasOne My pleasure!
I really think this would be fun to have like on the volca drum randomizer.. makes some crazy ish!
I really like Blip Box, such a powerful thing you can tweak the hell out of it. But I usually use it for a couple of sounds (kick/rumble) or sample the sounds and take it into Sitala. Blip Box definitely needs a pan option for the individual sounds as well as setting the levels. This would open it up so much more than just the mono unit as it is right now. It’s not the best choice if you want to make a realistic clap sound but you can’t have it all. Its great for lots of percussion stuff, and hopefully the devs will implement the options in the future. I had unfortunately no response from them on these feature requests a while back. Maybe others could give it a shot? The more requests the better
It could definitely do with pan. I use multiple instances of it (and other drum synths) rather than use multiple outputs as that's how I've always done it and prefer it that way.. it's much quicker to set up. I also like having separate regions for different parts of the kit... I might have a four bar BD/SD with a three bar hi hat patter for example.
I'm not having any luck mapping the parameter controls directly from Drambo, BAM, or Octachron. Octachron has a preset MIDI map for Blip Box, but the parameters aren't listed by name in the CC section. Are they even mappable?
They are mappable through AUM
Could you expound? Either they're mappable or not, no?
Blip Box Parameters are mappable in AUM MIXER APP
IN AUM Mixer, when blip box is loaded > go to menu > midi control > channels > blip box > Pad 1
Now you can map all parameters ...
for example i have mapped all sixteen instruments to my novation remote SL Mk1
EDIT: i dont have DRAMBO
Thank you! That’s what I was expecting to see in OCTACHRON, since it has a Blip Box preset, but all that’s listed are CC numbers and none of them affect Blip. No love with Drambo, BAM, or NS2 either.
Edit: They do affect Blip, but the relevant CCs are much lower, from zero onwards. They don’t match up to the CCs in the screenshot. I guess, I’ll have to map them out manually.
Edit: They are directly mappable in Drambo as well. It’s just odd that the Paramus don’t show up by name in OCTACHRON.
Thanks for the help!
@watari_banzai the CC's of Blip BOX are freely configurable for e.g. you can use channel 2 - CC 34 for 1 Pitch 1
you just have 2 set the same CC in OCTAChron
I'm not seeing a way to change CC assignments in Blip Box.
I've set up the Octachron-Blip combo in Drambo, BAM, SAND, and NanoStudio2. Blip only responds to Octachron's CCs in NS2; no response in the other DAWs. I can map Blip's params to the DAWs' native controllers and automate them that way, but I was hoping to do it all from Octachron, which I bought specifically to control Blip Box
I've tried a few other drum brains with Octachron. They all seem to work as intended.
Idk if this is helpful, but in NS2, Blip only responds to CCs #0 to #10 and only on the first drum channel. If I draw in automation in the second channel, it will control the first drum as well and only the first drum. So creating a custom map in Octa won't help.
I've reached out to Blip's dev/s; no reply yet.
I really hope the dev will do an upgrade, there was also a ‘pan per voice’ announcement from the dev a while ago, but so far nothing. Blip Box has so much potential, it really is a fantastic electro thing but it could use some deeper controls for making claps and better hats/cymbals. Maybe some fx as well.
One feature I’d like is landscape mode on iPhone: controls on the left and pads on the right. The app is a perfect experience in portrait mode when I’m just jamming in standalone. But in AUM and Drambo, most of my other AUV3s are optimized for landscape mode, so it’s a bit annoying to have to flip my phone whenever I switch to Blip Box.
@watari_banzai seems the mapping is host dependent...
you can try AUM
it works flawless,
Oh, it works fine using the DAWs' built-in automation features. I'm making do with automation clips running alongside Octachron. Not ideal, but it works. Other than that, Octachron works great with other drum AUVs!
