CHAPTER 23. LIVE INSTRUMENT REFERENCE 435
The Vibrato Section
Tension's Vibrato
Section.
The Vibrato section uses an LFO to modulate the string's pitch. As with all of Tension's
parameters, the controls in this section can be used to enhance the realism of a stringed
instrument model  or to create something never heard before.
The two most important parameters in this section are the Rate and Amount sliders. Rate
adjusts the frequency of the pitch variation, while Amount adjusts the intensity (amplitude)
of the effect.
The Delay slider sets how long it will take for the vibrato to start after the note begins, while
Attack sets how long it takes for the vibrato to reach full intensity (as set by the Amount
knob).
The <Mod slider adjusts how much the modulation wheel will affect the vibrato intensity.
This control is relative to the value set by the Amount knob.
The Error slider introduces unpredictability into the vibrato, by introducing random deviation
to the Rate, Amount, Delay and Attack parameters.
