Go Beyond the Pump. Move the Sound Itself.
Open the synth filter. Push your favorite distortion. Change the delay feedback. Stride puts the knobs you've mapped on one canvas, so you can try another take without drawing every move from scratch.
| Comparison | The engineStride | The alternativeLFOTool |
|---|---|---|
| Your starting point | Load your synth and effects, then map the knobs you want to move. | Process audio in LFOTool, or route MIDI CC to another instrument or effect. |
| Your favorite plugins | Control mapped knobs directly inside the chain you host in Stride. | Control MIDI-responsive plugins through CC routing. |
| Trying a different idea | One press of Chaos, Neuro or S&H fills every unlocked lane. | Draw, edit or switch LFO graphs. |
| Making a phrase | Build up to 32 bars of motion, with individual lane speeds and loop lengths. | Set graph shapes and LFO rates in BPM or Hz. |
| Choose your workflow | Hear different automation takes across your synth and FX together. | Build focused audio shaping or control other tools through MIDI CC. |
Less LFO setup. More time hearing what your chain can do.
