Y'all remember the LFOTool VST in FL? What about one like that here? Maybe draw out a wave, like the waveshaper, but instead of detuning the sound, it modulates the amplitude of the incoming volume. Also, you could have a trigger parameter that takes the form of a pattern track of one simular to the machinste's GUI, you can activate the LFO based on a premade pattern, or you could have it repeat continuously. Maybe it could have a restart function simular to the Heisenberg's LFO too. This would be useful in many different ways, from creating complex chord patterns to simply messing around, re-creating the "Yeah" vocal. This would help me a lot because I spend a fair amount of time and processing power individually modulating each patch's master gain, and I think it would be a pretty nice addition to the audiotool toolkit.

I know it's not the same but, in the mean time, automation can take you pretty far. Placing key frames and controlling the segment curvature is like drawing your LFO shape for one cycle. Extending your automation region is like having your LFO running for an arbitrary amount of time. Copying (especially virtual copy) your region in different times is like triggering your LFO anytime you want. And sharing your automation region among different compatible parameters is like routing a single LFO to different inputs. I even name such automation regions "LFO" on my timeline. Hope it helps.
Yeah, i do that too, i was just wondering if it was possible to create a dedicated effect for that. It would save a lot of cpu power, due to rendering the constant change in the master volume, when it would only affect one effect. Also it would take much less time trying to copy and paste the automation tracks, because instead its one patch doing all of the work, and its just a pattern track
Its not really the actual effect im pushing for, because as you said, you can recreate the exact thing with just time and focus. But thats ehat im talking about. Im pushing for an easier time. I mean, you could make a multiband with slopes and compressors, but that took a lot of time and energy, both for the user, and the software.
I totally agree with you, a dedicated effect would be great. Those were just suggestions to help you accomplish what you want. I believe that such a device will be developed in the future as the Studio goes into a more modular approach.
