Pulverisateur's LFO random waveform always re-triggers on note on.

On the Pulverisateur, when the LFO waveform is set to random (Waveform: 0%) and the "Trigger" switch set to off, the LFO's waveform will still re-trigger (restart) at the beginning of each new note. If the period of the LFO (either free running or tempo synced) is longer than the note duration (in other words: several notes fit within one LFO period), the LFO keeps producing the same random pattern (apparently just two random values) for each played note until the next LFO period starts, when the random pattern will change.

I'd expect the LFO waveform cycles to play undisturbed (not restart on each note) when the "Trigger" switch is off.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Setup a Pulverisateur to play a 4 bar long region note with quarter notes.

  2. Set the LFO like this: Waveform: 0%, Rate: 1/1, Sync: On, Trigger: Off, Destination: OSC1, Depth: 25%.

  3. On playback, each note has a different pitch, although LFO Trigger is Off and the LFO Rate is one bar.

  4. On each bar, the random pattern applied to the pitch of the notes changes.

  5. The problem also exists for free running rates (non-tempo synced). The random pattern changes with each LFO cycle.

Moreover, I'm experiencing a very weird behaviour of the LFO in "random waveform" mode where on some regions there is randomness applied to the destination and in others not (?) The behaviour seems consistent across virtual regions generated from a source one: all regions of one source will either have randomness applied or not.

Bumping this. It makes it impossible to have a pattern of separate notes and have each have a different modulation (pitch, filter, etc.) Right now the only way to achieve this is to have one long modulated note and create the wanted notes by cutting the audio with a Gate or Rasselbock.
