Thanks for the link, David. So the stereo animation in the above
example is due to Chorus or Tremolo being on. Correct? Also, it's
hard to tell from this short example, and maybe my ears are playing
tricks on me, but it almost sounds like the RM stereo movement
corresponds to the RM speed--not just the fixed Chorus/Trem speed
setting. I hope you know what trying to say.
