Stereophase
Relative phase shift between the left and right channels, ranging from 0° to 180°. With
0° selected, the effect is most intense, but not stereophonic. With 180° selected, the
effect symmetrically rises in the left channel while simultaneously falling in the right
channel, and vice versa.
Tremolo
A periodic modulation of the amplitude (level) of the sound is known as tremolo. The
modulation is controlled via an LFO. The Fender Rhodes suitcase piano features a
stereo tremolo and many other electric pianos have a simple, but quite obtrusive,
mono tremolo that can introduce a strange kind of polyrhythmic feel to performances.
Note: The original Wurlitzer piano has a mono tremolo with a fixed modulation rate of
5.5 Hz. For an authentic Wurlitzer sound, choose 0°. For Rhodes sounds, select 180°. The
settings in-between result in nice spacey effects, especially at low LFO rates.
Rate
Sets the speed of the tremolo effect (LFO frequency).
Intensity
Adjusts the amount of amplitude modulation. With 0 selected, the tremolo effect is
switched off.
Stereophase
At a setting of 0°, the level undulates in phase on both channels. With 180° selected,
the modulation is perfectly out of phase, resulting in a stereo tremolo effect that is also
known as auto panning. The effect is similar to manually turning the pan pot from side
to side.
