How to do a sweeping effect?..

Having trouble with LMMS? Ask about it here.
I'm relatively new and only know a few basics. I want to do a generic sweep effect but I don't know how.

Help, pls?

Welcome to the Lmms Forums CLP.

Sweep effect? Like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COwtuIE68c4 ;)
As LmmsDude mentioned, don't turn the Reso knob to high. Or else, your ears will hurt. :lol:

If this is not the sweep effect you want, then show us example.
I've seen this exact video before and yes, it is the one I want to do but since I'm not familiar with LMMS, I don't know how to get an 'Uplifter'.
The idea is that you follow the detailed instructions in the video to get a filtered noise sweep or "Uplifter". Which part couldn't you follow ?

Besides that i can see that you are new in our forum, so-

Is there any new tutorial on that? The videos I've seen are really old..
The way sound works hasn't changed for a long time. Have you actually tried what's shown in any of the video tutorials ? They both still work for me ;).

Yes, I have. LMMSdude's tutorial wasn't clear to me..
Which part wasn't clear to you ?
Err..Steve, I guess, I don't understand how to actually insert it into the beat/bassline editor.

I don't know where to find it from..
A sweep effect isn't something you can just "find"...you have to MAKE it yourself. But to get anywhere you'll have to do some playing about with LMMS. You might make some horrible noises but you won't do any real harm and you'll find out stuff.

That video shows making a filter sweep using Triple Oscillator (TO). It's in the Instrument list (top symbol on LH side of screen) so just drag it over to BBE. Open it's Piano roll (double click on any block in BBE) and put in a long note. Then set TO to produce noise. O.k. so far ?

Now you can skip the video up to about 3:08 because it's just improving the sound and it would be better to get the basics sorted first (you can go back later to play with the Effects chain).So click on the Env/LFO tab, switch the filter on, select 2xLow pass and have a play with the "Freq" knob as BBE is playing. You should hear something like the sweep effect you're after. Still O.k. ?

Now you need to set up the Automation which basically makes LMMS do the knob twiddling for you. I think the video is pretty clear there but let us know how far you get and someone can walk you through anything that's still confusing.

Have fun - Steve
