Does the Filter Envelope Interact with the LFO?
Solved
When setting the LFO destination to Volume as well as setting its, the two envelopes sort of superimpose one another and we hear the effects of both modulations. However, when using the LFO as well as ADSR on the filter, we only hear the effect of the LFO. So, in Syntorial, does the LFO override the filter ADSR but not the volume ADSR?
For context, I am currently working on the group challenge for lesson 11.

Hey Joe,
Thanks for the clarification! Looks like I had been masking the filter envelope by setting the LFO amount too high. It's definitely much easier to hear the filter decay when the LFO amplitude is smaller.

Hi Jay
Good question. In Syntorial, the LFO and Filter Envelope can work together simultaneously. However, specific settings may make it sound like only one is working. To hear it try this:
Filter: Set the Cutoff to Noon, Decay to max, Sustain to 0.
LFO: Set destination to Cutoff, Amount to 0.12.
Press and hold a key, and you'll hear the LFO's up-down cycle moving its center down as the Envelope Decay descends.
