Isn't it possible to adjust the beginning of the LFO phase?

Good question. You can in massive. I've been looking in kontakt and I don't think so.

I've got version 2.0 and you can't do that but....

I guess they've gotta leave out some features so we'll buy v3.

....but if you notice the starting phase is different for the different waves. The sine starts at zero and goes down, the triangle wave starts at -100% and heads up, saw starts at +100% and goes down. Now, take a look at 'multi' wave shape....

....By f-ing around with combining different wave shapes, you might be able to get the sound you want even if its not smooth sine wave modulation, or whatever. Try two waves, and turn off the others.

(Notice you can also do wave polarity here, and depth, which you can't do in the one wave lfo pannel... which is nice, basically multi wave is the way forward)

Still, it totally sucks not having 'begining of the wave phase' thingy.

The bastards better fix that in v3

You gunna give em some money if they do? I know i wont... well, might.... if i have to. Love kontakt. Even tho it is a totally geek way of doing things, and that does little for my mojo. It even looks more geek than it has to.

But seriously, i don't know if you read my post in full, you can often achive what you need to, using multi-wave. Especially if all that you are interested in is getting your LFO to begin at, say, 75% (rather than +/-100% or zero). And don't forget you can automate all the parameters. So once you've got it starting where you want it, you can usually make it do what you want it to - ie settle down into some smooth sine wave modulation.

But expect you wanted to make music, instead of automate lots of knob twiddling. So yeah v3

Thanks alot for that.
Check massive out too!!!! There is a little switch to turn down the quality if it's taxing your CPU out.

Can't you just assign a controller to it then use automation in your sequencer

Yes yes I read you in full! Just didn't try it before reply!
Definitly the way to go. You can even get the smooth sin mod!
Big up!
