Tremolo

A tremolo is basically a change of the signal level

controlled by an LFO. The NOVA System offers

variations of this effect; ranging from soft and smooth to

hard and aggressive.

Speed
Range: 0.050 Hz to 20 Hz

This parameter sets the speed of the effect.

Tempo
Range: Disable, 1 to 1/32T (T=Triplet & D=Dotted). When

set to any value between 1 and 1/32T, the NOVA

System’s Global Tempo is subdivided according to this

setting. When set to “Ignore”, the speed set by the Speed

parameter is used instead.

Depth
Range: 0 to 100%

The Depth parameter specifies the intensity of the effect.

The value represents the amplitude of the modulating

waveform.

Type
Range: Soft or Hard (Sine or Square)

Two waveforms are available as modulation sources for

the tremolo effect. Setting this parameter to hard results

in a steeper effect. Listen and choose the appropriate

option.

Soft

Hard

Width
Pulsewidth

Range: 0 to 100%

If you set this parameter e.g. to 20% with a Type setting

of Hard, the waveform will be on for 80% of one period.

With a Type setting of Soft, a 50% setting would yield a

full sine wave, whilst 0% and 100% would yield a crest-

to-peak and peak-to crest curve, respectively.

Hi-Cut
Range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz

This parameter attenuates the high frequencies of the

Tremolo effect. Use the hi-cut filter to create a less

dominant tremolo effect without changing the effect’s

depth.
