FREQ/AMP MOD

The next modulation effect shows the following screen:
This effect type allows you to modulate frequency and/or amplitude for a variety of vibrato, autopan,
tremolo and Doppler Shift effects. The parameters are:
FMOD RATE
FMOD DEPTH
FMOD FEEDBACK
AMOD RATE
AMOD DEPTH
AMOD MODE
The FREQ/AMP MOD can be used to produce many different sounds. It can be used as an ordinary
autopanner (i.e. FMOD parameters all set to 00) or to create vibrato and chorus effects (using just
the FMOD parameters; AUTOPAN parameters set to 00) or, using both panning AND frequency
modulation, you can create a Doppler effect (i.e. as the sound moves, it also changes pitch - the
classic ambulance siren effect!).
NOTE: Because the stereo mod section passes through the echo section, any stereo mod
effects you create here will be 'monofied' when mono delay effects are selected. As a result,
you cannot effectively use autopan with mono echo.

This sets the speed of the frequency modulation.
This sets the amount of frequency modulation.
This sets the amount of feedback from the output of the frequency
modulator back to its input. This parameter can be used to accentuate
the frequency modulation effect.
This sets the speed of the autopan effect.
This sets the 'width' of the autopan effect. With high settings the sound
will pan across a wider stereo image.
This sets the type of the autopan effect. The choices are:
L>R The sound will move from left to right. As the sound crosses
the central axis, however, the effect is of the sound 'rotating''
(i.e. as it goes from left to right, the sound becomes more
distant and as it travels from right to left it becomes more
'up-front' and forward).
R>L As above but in the opposite direction.
PAN The sound will move from left to right but, as the sound
crosses the central axis, the level will be constant giving
the impression of it simply panning left to right.
TREMOLO The output of the autopanner is mono and the effect is a
tremolo effect (i.e. mono amplitude modulation)
