Vibrato via modwheel?

Post by count_fuzzball » Fri Feb 13, 2009 10:50 pm

Does anyone know how I can do vibrato with the modwheel and gigedit? Is it just an LFO on the amplitude and the pitch?

Sure you can "fake" vibrato by using either the pitch LFO or the amplitude LFO and have the amount controlled by the modwheel. Basically using LinuxSampler as a synth. (Of course a proper vibrato would be sampled and you'd xfade between a non-vibrato and vibrato layer.)

Rule of thumb: Wind and brass instruments create vibrato by modulating the amplitude. Bowed string instruments create vibrato by modulating the pitch (f you modulate the amplitude you'll get a tremolo effect instead).
