•  Tremolo

•  Auto-panning

•  Ring modulation

•  Wave shaping

14.1 Design a Tremolo/Panning Plug-In

The tremolo is a modulated amplitude effect that uses a low-frequency oscillator (LFO) to directly modulate the output. The LFO waveform is usually triangular or sinusoidal. If the LFO is a square wave, it produces a gapping effect, where intermittent chunks of audio are alternatively muted then restored to unity gain. An auto-panning algorithm pans the signal from ...
