TREM

TREMOLO

The level swinging in time

What it does

The level swinging in time: RATE in hertz, DEPTH for how far it dips, and STEREO, which turns the tremolo into an auto-pan that swings left and right instead of up and down.

  • RATE 8, DEPTH 1 is a helicopter
  • STEREO on, RATE 2 is the slow pan every synthwave pad has
ON THE TOUCH PAD

As TREM: X is RATE, Y is DEPTH. Touch to engage, lift to let go, HOLD to keep it.

Where it goes

PADSINSTRUMENTSCHANNELSBUSESMASTER

Four to a socket, in order: sound runs through the slots top to bottom. Open the box and every knob is in real units; BYPASS takes it out of the path without losing its settings; the presets are along the top; any knob learns a controller and gets an automation lane.

The presets

8 IN THE BANK

Every box ships with a bank. AS SET is the knobs as you left them; the rest are starting points, each a sound someone wanted often enough to name. Star one and it sits at the front of the bank.

The console line

Every box is also a line of the console's language, so a pad or a patch can carry its effects in text. The words are the knobs:

fx tremolo rate=4 depth=0.6 stereo=0
