Tremolator — Version 5
SMOOTHING
The Smoothing control allows you to round out the edges in the
wave shape between the points. When smoothing is set to zero (no
smoothing), the waveform will have a stair-step appearance and will
jump abruptly from point to point. By increasing the Smoothing control
you can soften the abrupt changes between the points and smooth
out the transitions between points. When set to its maximum value the
waveform will be completely smooth.
The Smoothing Mode determines the “shape” of the smoothing that
will be used to connect the points. This further increases the variety of
waveforms you can create within the LFO Shape Editor. The Smoothing
Mode choices are as follows:
Linear - Points are connected using straight lines
Sine - Produces a sinusoidal-like waveform, which is very smooth.
Exp - Produces a “scooped”, curved waveform where the curve is not
even but kind of “rises quickly”, similar in shape to those used
in an exponential analog ADSR envelope
Sym - Produces a curved shape that is even and symmetrical.
Rev - Produces a reverse scooped waveform shape that rises slowly and
falls back quickly.
