controlling Alligator LFO

[JRIII86]

I'm using an Alligator with the LFO tempo-synced to 2 bars. Problem is I want the cycle to begin on an even-numbered bar, but it will only begin on odd-numbered ones (1, 3, 5 etc.). How can I offset the cycle? Seems like it should be simple enough but I can't figure it out.

You could move your whole song a bar to the right.

If the LFO isn't being used during the first bar of the song, you could also delay the CV signal. Either use an RE like Lolth (free) or use stock devices to convert to/from audio.

Use an own LFO and connect it on the backside of Aligator. There are a few LFOs available in Reason and in the shop (even free ones), which can trigger the LFO, which gives control over the phase and some LFOs have phase adjustment.

Use a Pulsar instead of the internal LFO.
Patch Pulsar into the three filter frequency CV inputs via a Spider.
Use the dials next to the CV inputs to control modulation depth.
On the front of Alligator, make sure the LFO amount is zero.
Set Pulsar's phase to 180 degrees. This will 'delay' the LFO waveform you've chosen by half of the sync value.

Yes, thank you! I had actually tried a Pulsar but I connected the cable to the Alligator's LFO rate, which did not get me the desired result. Seems so obvious now I should have connected it to the filter frequency inputs.
Thanks so much and thanks to all for the suggestions!
