12 EVP88 > The EVP88 Tremolo Section
The EVP88 Tremolo Section
Tremolo is one of the most recognizable effects you’ll hear on electric pianos. Many electric pianos that included their own amplification had built-in tremolo effects. Tremolo is an easy effect to understand—it’s a simple amplitude modulation of the EP signal controlled by an LFO. Figure 12.8 shows the EVP88 Tremolo section.

The EVP88 Tremolo parameters are:
Rate. The Rate knob controls the speed of the Tremolo LFO.
Intensity. The Intensity knob controls the intensity of the amplitude modulation applied to the signal. The lower the intensity, the lower the amount of amplitude modulation you hear. The higher the setting, the greater the amount of amplitude modulation you hear. When the Intensity knob is set to Off, the Tremolo effect is off.
