CREATOR / GUIDE

Your first effect: Gentle Tremolo

Build a tremolo with two controls: modulation rate and effect depth.

Open Creator

  1. In VLTone, open View → Creator and create a new project. Input, Output and Interface are already on the canvas.
  2. Use the library or Tab to add Gain, Mix and LFO. Arrange the audio nodes from left to right, with LFO and Interface below.

Connect the two branches

  1. Input / Output → Gain / Audio. Gain / Output → Mix / B.
  2. Input / Output → Mix / A is the dry branch. Mix / Output → Output / Audio.
  3. LFO / Output → Gain / Gain. Set LFO to Sine, Rate 1.8 Hz, Amount 0.5, Offset 0.5. Gain will move between 0 and 1.
Gentle Tremolo
Input

One signal feeds two branches: dry and processed.

Select a node to trace its connections. This diagram explains processing; it does not play audio.

Expose the controls

  1. Select Interface. Name the module Gentle Tremolo. First control: Rate, unit Hz, range 0.1–10, default 1.8, logarithmic scale.
  2. Second control: Depth, range 0–1, default 0.35. Rate → LFO / Rate, Depth → Mix / Mix.
  3. Save the .vltcreator and press Compile. Add the installed mini-module to a Channel Strip and audition it. Depth = 0 keeps the dry signal.
