Sync and Trigger Mode For Macros

I must be in the beginning stages of Dementia… :slight_smile: Where do I go in Vital to switch Macro knobs from “trigger” to “sync” and vice versa? I know I’ve done it both in creating and editing presets but I can’t find it now. TYIA

If you mean the LFOs it’s there where it reads Trigger by default under the LFO curve.

No, not exactly, I don’t think. Lemme give you and example. I have a preset open. Fairly vanilla preset. On the left of Vital you have your 4 macro knobs. The top one is mapped to “Chorus Mix” only in the effects section. The 3 knobs below it are mapped to various effects (Delay, Reverb, etc.) So, let’s say I have a piano clip recorded, 4 bars, some spacing between notes, so then I turn up the “Chorus Mix” macro and you hear the chorus effect clearly. Then the next note comes and the top macro snaps back to zero like a LFO in “trigger” mode. The 3 lower macro buttons Can be increased and behave as a LFO would in “Sync” mode, remaining at their last position until raised or lowered. I know I’m overlooking something simple and probably embarrassingly obvious. Anyway, “Thanks” for your reply, and if you have further thoughts, please let me know.

If you want to do that you connect a modulator to macro 1 and use the rest manually.

That’s not how Sync mode works with LFOs, Sync mode syncs the LFO position to song position.

Macros are just knobs that you can bind other parameters to and control those parameters relative to their current value. They don’t have any built in movement functionality, you need to modulate or automate the macros to do what you described.
