7 Tremolo

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 of several variations are set with Tap, it’s easy to match the tempo of the

music. Other variations let 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 effectively sets the depth of the Tremolo. As Tremolo is essentially a rhythmic effect, care should

also be taken to make the rate work with the tempo of the music.

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 electronic effects — frequently

used with electric guitar, electric piano and, sometimes, 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.
