Dont do that. Noise has an extreme waveshape, even in n/100 it will be much to uncontrollable, as you have experienced.
Hello,
It's been a while since I've been on the forum and I forgot my previous log-in details. Anyway...
I've had the need for slow LFO controllers and found that, like others, the noisy "User Defined Shapes" available under the "+" in the controller are rather useless unfotunaletly.
Avoiding drawing random shapes in the "Automation tracks", I looked for other options and came up with this workaround.
It might be usefull for other people.
Generate an audio file with "procesed to fit for purpose" noise in, for example, Tenacity / Audacity or similar.
Load this audio file into a "Sample track" in LMMS.
Add a "Peak Controller" to the Sample track's Effect Chain (in my case: base=amnt=0.5, mult=1, atck=dcay=trsh=0)
Send this Sample track to its own channel in the FX-Mixer and set the channel volume to 0.
Now use the Peak Controller's output to control a variable you like.
In the screenshot below I've connected Peak Controller (=Controller 1) output to a "Higher Quality Pitch Scaler".
Comments are welcome.
Regards,
AToM
Absolutely! It belongs in Tutorials, but also here. I will make a skeleton-topic in Tutorials and link to this post.

Welcome back!
I believe the white noise lfo speed has been fixed in the nightly build. Now the freq knob actually does something, and you can sync it to the tempo to have the steps occur on beat. (Of course, the nightly build is not stable, so be careful and make backups if you decide to use it)

There are several improvements in Nightly, but until they make it into Alpha at least, it is not relevant for daily production. The motivation for Downloading Nightly should be wanting to help with feature-testing, not a 'shortcut' to more features.
If a tester find bugs or issues in Nightly, this

is the only place these should be posted, not in this forum.
Thanks guys, thanks musikBear.
I didn't need tempo-synced noise for my purpose, so I didn't look for it.
Perhaps, once you know the tempo, you could make the audio file fit timewise and make it seamless. This would of course introduce 'repeated randomness'.
A note to the generation of my noise file:
Generate brown noise (in my case) (brown incorporates some lower frequencies).
Repeatedly tempo-stretch so that pitch changes (in my case until the result was visually 'periodic' to what I needed.)
Run a low-pass filter over it; I think set to 1 Hz or lower even. (in my case until visually smooth enough.)
Save, try in LMMS and adjust if needed.
