Trem/Fade Module
Trem/Fade is a sophisticated envelope-controlled modulation processor that
can produce classic tremolo, fade, and other gain modulation effects. Trem-
olo is achieved by modulating the amplitude (volume) of a signal with a low
frequency oscillator (LFO). Trem/Fade includes some new modes such as
Shimmer and VariTrem that enable the production of new volume effects.
Sync Button This button puts the plug-in into Tempo Sync mode. See Chapter 8, “Tempo
Sync” for more information.
Threshold
(Thresh) Knob
Sets the threshold level for the Trem/Fade effect. When the signal level ex-
ceeds the threshold, the Trem/Fade effect is triggered. The range is 0dB to
-80dB.
Note: When Trem/Fade is used within the complete Nigel plug-in, the thresh-
old detector is connected to the output of the Gate module. This allows for op-
timal level tracking independent of the amplifier and other effect settings.
Once a Trem/Fade effect is instigated by crossing the threshold level, the ef-
fect will continue until the signal drops below the Threshold level. For exam-
ple, if a signal is faded in, the signal won’t fade in again until its level drops
below the Threshold value.
Trigger LED The Trigger LED indicates when the Trem/Fade input signal is above the
Threshold. It provides visual feedback for optimizing the Threshold setting.
The Trigger LED glows bright red when the signal is above the Threshold
value.
