Program Descriptions
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 elec-
tronic effects — frequently used with electric guitar, elec-
tric piano and, occasionallly, 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 mono and stereo effects. As the tremolo rates
are set with Tap, it is easy to match the tempo of the
music. The Adjust knob (phase) lets you 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 fully
wet. By adding more dry to the wet/dry mix, Mix effec-
tively sets the depth of the Tremolo. Take care to make the
rate work with the tempo of the music, as Tremolo is essen-
tially a rhythmic effect .
