This plugin still surprises me....great teacher????
I've had this plugin for a few years now and have never gone deep into it like how this tutorial shows. A very clear and concise tutorial that gets into all the workings of the plugin. I hope the author has Nerve by Xfer and does another great tutorial on this. Will definitely look forward to more tutorials from the author. Excellent job????

Excellent! Covers everything
Exhaustive video explanations of LFOTool are thin on the ground, and Larry makes it easy to understand, so this is a valuable addition to Groove3. I expect all tracks released from now on to contain at least one LFOTool! :-)
