Modulation

Tremolator

Soundtoys

Tremolator is a modulation plugin that emulates classic hardware tremolo effects from vintage gear like the Fender Vibrolux guitar amp and Wurlitzer electric piano. Beyond traditional tremolo, it functions as a powerful rhythmic auto-gate with programmable patterns, MIDI sync capability, and dynamic controls that respond to playing dynamics for expressive, beat-synced tremolo and gating effects.

Key Features

01Custom LFO waveshape editor recreating vintage hardware tremolo waveforms
02Programmable Rhythm Editor for custom gating patterns
03MIDI sync with note value selection (1/8th notes, 16th notes, etc.)
04Analog mode emulating hardware input/output characteristics
05Dynamic controls for speed and depth modulation based on input level
06Squarewave gate mode for rhythmic auto-gating
07Swing and shuffle controls with accent capability
