Ok, as the subject says, how does one translate the values of the Ramp, Sine and Triangle Oscillators in seconds? 1.0 = ?

Thx in advance!!

I talk about ramps and oscillators in this tutorial.




Every modifier takes 1 second to do its thing, whatever that is, when its value is 1. Oscillators one cycle = 1 second. Ramps loop after 1 second.

If you change the value of the modifier it will get slower the smaller it gets and faster the higher it gets. A value of 2 will cycle/loop twice per second (or loop once in half a second). A value of 0.5 will loop/cycle once every 2 seconds. If you keep halving the value you'll keep doubling the seconds.
