MIDI Tremolo S

Post by dawman »

I have discovered a new effect that gives motion to a track in a mix.

Years ago my ARP String Ensemble had a Y adapter with an A/B box so I could play one send to my Moog Lab Series Amp, and one to my Leslie. The selector would allow 3 choices of routing. A, B, or both.

The motion factor came from a Leslie 147 in it's slow speed mode. I miss that sound. So I route my ARP emu the same way now, but I don't like the overdrive effect the rotary cabinet gives it.. So I was trying different effects like Tremolo, Auto pan, and LFO modulations in Interpole. I couldn't get the right amount of modulation w/o coloring my patch.

Then I found MIDI Tremolo S. It allows me some minute tweaks to mimic a Leslie cabinet in it's slow speed. The others were too heavy. This works perfectly, but the presets don't give you a clue of half of it's capabilities.
The Sine wave with the fractional amounts reversed to a slower sweep, and less depth make this effect come to life. It sounds great on my ARP emu. It also helps to match the rate of a phaser to the rate of the MIDI Tremolo so it gives it an in and out effect, while a slow rotating effect goes left to right. Really nice.

I then put it on my B2003 and matched the slow speed of that rate. The real beauty of that is when I step on my FC5 to make the rotary speed go fast, the MIDI Tremolo gets muted. I love the way Scope handles MIDI. CC5, CC8, Wolf's MIDI Tool Box, and DJ Micron's Cyprox are serious MIDI weapons which will do things that hardware cannot dream of.
