System Requirements
Tremolator is a software plug-in for the Digidesign Pro Tools system. You’ll need to
have at least one decent Macintosh computer (G3 or better. Faster is always better)
running OS 9.2 or later and of course you’ll need a copy of Pro Tools version 5.0 or
later. To use Tremolator you’ll also need one of those little “iLok” hardware keys, it’s
a small blue plastic key that looks like this:
If you don’t have an iLok we’ll be
happy to sell you one at a modest
price or you can purchase one
from Digidesign or your favorite
Pro Tools dealer.
Installing Tremolator
Installing Tremolator is really pretty easy. First, make sure that you have your iLok
hardware key connected to your computer, and that you have the Tremolator license
card handy. Once you’re ready, simply pop the Tremolator CD into your computer’s
CD-ROM drive and when the CD icon appears on your screen double-click the
Tremolator installer program to start the process.
Follow any instructions included in the installer and at the end of the installation
process you will be prompted to ‘authorize’ Tremolator. To do this, carefully detach
the license chip from the license card, and insert the chip into the slot in the rear of
your iLok when prompted to do so by the installation program.
Once installed, a copy of the Tremolator plug-in will be located in your Digidesign
plug-ins folder along with a cool set of Tremolator presets. Finally, a SoundToys fold-
er will be created in your Applications folder. Please note that if you already have
FilterFreak, our totally cool analog filter box, this folder will already be on your hard
drive and Tremolator will be placed there. The SoundToys folder contains this manual,
as well as other useful documentation and tools that you can read or ignore depend-
ing on your level of patience or interest in reading babbling things like this manual.
