The level swinging in time
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.
As TREM: X is RATE, Y is DEPTH. Touch to engage, lift to let go, HOLD to keep it.
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.
| Knob | Range | Starts at | Scale |
|---|---|---|---|
| RATE | 0.1 Hz to 20 Hz | 4 Hz | log |
| DEPTH | 0 to 1 | 0.6 | linear |
| STEREO | LEVEL · AUTO-PAN | LEVEL | steps |
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.
| Preset | RATE | DEPTH | STEREO |
|---|---|---|---|
| GENTLE | 4 Hz | 0.4 | LEVEL |
| CLASSIC | 5 Hz | 0.6 | LEVEL |
| SLOW | 1.5 Hz | 0.7 | LEVEL |
| CHOP | 8 Hz | 1 | LEVEL |
| HELICOPTER | 16 Hz | 1 | LEVEL |
| AUTO-PAN | 2 Hz | 0.8 | AUTO-PAN |
| WIDE SWAY | 0.5 Hz | 0.5 | AUTO-PAN |
| FAST PAN | 6 Hz | 0.9 | AUTO-PAN |
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:
