Here I am again asking the questions other n00bs can only dream of.
How do I adjust the amplitute of an LFO? I have a lfo/sine object modulating a filter/lp m. The LFO throws the filter between max open and fully closed and I can only adjust the frequency of the LFO. Is there some magic object I can use to squeeze the signal?
it's quite simple, you need to use the math/* object. Here is a small screen shot of how it can be done
Hmm, I've come to the conclusion I don't know how K-rate works. If it's a modelled wave then it has 2 attributes, freq and ampl. You're multiplying the signal by 10, yet it decreases the amplitude. How does the maths work under the covers?
Hmm, again. Just read the user guide, lets see if I have this right. K-rate models a control voltage (-64 to +64). Voltage = Amplitude so all the signals passing between objects are basically amplitude. The LFO has a freq parameter because that's not normally considered in ordinary signalling. Still not sure why math/*c decreases it though.
I'm actually multiplying by 0.156 (on the left of the dial). The math/*c multiplies by anything between 0 and 1. So it can be considered a bit like a division
Back again. 
LFO is all fixed up and I'm playing with ADSR Envelopes now, modding the filter. I notice the Attack only seems to move the filter about a qtr of it's range. Playing with various math objects just appears to affect the attack time. Is this right? Would this need some kind of math object on the output of the filter?
I think your problem is that you need to understand the differences between unipolar (p) (only positif values) and bipolar (b)(negative and positive values). If you look at most object with blue inputs or outputs, you have a sign next to them (+ ou +-). You can transform one to the other with the proper conv/ object.
the env reads bipolar signals and sends out positive signals. a filter reads bipolar signal. So if you want to act on the full range of the filter, you need to transform the env out into a bipolar signal.
Aah, one more thing learnt. Thanks a lot for your efforts here mtyas. Including screenies in your replies is very helpful and I know takes a bit of effort. Very much appreciated.
