MeldaProduction Mrhythmizer
Soundtoys Tremolator
$129
Choose from 19 classic tremolo
shapes (Danelectro, Wurlitzer,
Fender…) or choose from more
fanciful patterns (City, Boosom,
SlippySine…) to get your Shape,
then dial in Depth, Groove and Feel
(shuffle and phase, basically) to
customise it. You can set the
Rhythm in beats, adjust the Rate
and Tap Tempo, although some
preset shapes are too complicated to
fully adjust the Rhythm control. With
a twitch of the Tweak button, things
get nerdy, with a custom LFO
waveshape editor, Threshold before
modulation, Attack and Release, and
analogue amplification style. It’s a
huge, warm-sounding package,
although the interface is a bit
crowded for today’s standards.

Judging by le name, you can guess
that this is another Leslie-style rotary
speaker emulation. Visuals are scant,
with the ‘horn’ and ‘drum’ moving
behind virtual slits, but it’s the
sound that counts, with that classic
Leslie tremolo (and chorale) sound
being emulated to a T. There’s plenty
of customisation onboard too, with
controls over the virtual mics that
accompany the Leslie in question.

eaReckon EARevolve €79
This plugin is, at its core, based on the classic Leslie rotating
speaker effect, but the Lille-based developers have created it
with more layers of complexity than an onion. There’s a
dedicated Chorus module, two independent left and right
delay times, horn and drum split, speed, acceleration,
deceleration, and start and stop with choice of ‘Park Angle’.
There’s a movement path for the entire speaker inside a virtual
room, clockwise or anti-clockwise, with Room Size and
speaker Diameter, and to cap it all off, emulation of two virtual
microphones and their positioning in the virtual room.
Too much, you say? Well, if you’re just using it to give a
synth part a little more depth, then maybe so – but if you’re
using EARevolve on a significant element of a track (guitar or
piano, maybe), it’s a must-have.
