Rhythm
The “Rhythm” menu serves a couple of purposes. First off it allows you to determine
how you want to subdivide the Rate setting based on all sorts of Bar and Note val-
ues. This can range from 1/32 note to up to 4 Bars. So you can get VERY fast modu-
lations as well as v…e…r…y slow modulations based on the value selected and the
Rate setting. In addition, you can create custom rhythm patterns using the Rhythm
Editor as described below. This allows you to produce complex modulations that can
be programmed in musical and rhythmic ways.
Rhythm
You can choose specific rhythmic divisions using the “Rhythm” menu. You can select
from one of the included simple rhythms by clicking on the Rhythm LED display,
which will launch a pop-up showing the available preset options. Simply highlight the
desired rhythmic interval with your mouse and let go. You can also use the two
nudge buttons to move through the various rhythm choices.
Custom Rhythm Editor:
In addition to the preset rhythms provided, Tremolator includes a very powerful and
unique Custom Rhythm Editor feature that allows you to create your own rhythms.
To access the Custom Rhythm Editor, select the Edit option from the Rhythm pop-up
menu.
The Rhythm Editor works a bit like a simple drum machine. By default, the basic
rhythm pattern is one bar long and is shown in the rhythm display. For each selected
event in the rhythm pattern, one entire cycle of the LFO Shape will be triggered and
played.
