TREMOLO
Tremolo is a rhythmic change in loudness, commonly
employed as an expressive technique by vocalists and
wind instrument players. It is also one of the oldest
electronic effects - frequently used with electric guitar,
electric piano, and occasionally vocals. Different
tremolo effects are largely determined by the rate and
waveform shape of the loudness change (fast or slow,
smooth or sharp). If the effect is used in a stereo mix, the
left and right can be synchronized in a variety of ways to
produce dramatic side-to-side motion.
The Tremolo programs offer a variety of tremolo shapes
(square, sawtooth, triangle, sine, and rectified sine). The
synchronization of the left and right sides can be
adjusted to produce stereo effects. As the tremolo rates
are set with Tap, it is easy to match the tempo of the
music. The Adjust knob (Phase) can be used to set left
and right channel waveforms out-of-phase, resulting in a
panning motion.
All of these programs should be used with Mix set to full
wet (100%). By adding more dry to the wet/dry mix,
Mix effectively sets the depth of the tremolo. Take care
to make the rate work with the tempo of the music, as
Tremolo is essentially a rhythmic effect .
