Multi-Band Drive Shape: Since each band is distorted separately, we’ve given you fine-tuned control
over each band’s drive and output levels. This dropdown contains presets we’ve created, if you’d
rather not mess with individual levels.
Drive, Level, and Midpoint Adj: When using Morphing, the parameters are being morphed between,
not a simple audio crossfade. Because of this, drive and output levels of each parameter set need to
be defined. Midpoint Adj is an optional gain boost (or cut) for the midpoint of the morphing, which
can often cause volume discrepancies.
Multi-band Tremolo
In addition to applying distortion to each band, the Ultrawave also allows for the application of
tremolo (manipulation of amplitude) to each band.
Mode: Much like the compressor, the multi-trem can be applied either pre-distortion or post-
distortion. We’ve made post-distortion the default for a more pronounced sound.
Depth: Adjusts the overall depth of the multiband tremolo effect.
Band Phase Offsets: All bands are controlled by the same master LFO, but the tremolo of each band
can be set to a different phase (starting point) on that LFO waveform. Since the possibilities are near
infinite, we have created a drop-down menu for quick access to a selection of pre-set phase offset
patterns.
LFO Module
The LFO utilized by the Ultrawave's multi-tremolo can be either a sine wave or a user-defined
"Attack/Release" wave. (The single tremolo uses a standard sine wave only.)
The LFO wave diagram is interactive and it dynamically changes when the Attack, Release, Shape,
and On Time knobs are adjusted. Note: In Sine Waveform mode, the Attack, Release, Shape, and On
Time knobs have no effect.
Attack is the steepness of the upward slope of the wave.
Release is the steepness of the downward slope of the wave.
Shape adds sine-like curvature to the slopes when counterclockwise, or triangle/square-like rigidity
when clockwise.
On Time increases the time the LFO is sustained at its peak value in each cycle
