Yup, that's right. I just finished off tremolo.

You have the ability to set tremolo depth on both DCO's and also use
either LFO1 or LFO2 as the source for the tremolo. So you can set one
DCO for a completely different tremolo speed to the other and also,
with the delay setting on both LFO's you can delay the tremolo on
either DCO so that they peak at opposite times. Very sweet!

It sounds fantastic. The organ on patch 27 now sounds like a real
hammond organ. OK, close.

Also, I initially had a slight "bug" in the tremolo code which I
removed but I found that the "bug" actually sounds better so when the
DCO volume is reduced to 7 or lower the bug kicks in and now you have
a gated volume that cycles with the LFO that is selected for the
source. And the gating is pulse width modulated. So you can vary the
duty cycle of the on and off periods for each DCO. Absolutely gorgeous
I tell you.

The results are some wonderful mellow blips. Not too techno either.
Just smooth enough to give the DCO's a nice gated oscillator sound.

Anyway, I'll definitely have to post a before and after tremolo video
on youtube because the sounds with tremolo are really sweet. I am so
happy that I did this particular feature. It sounds so good I am over
the moon today!

Mike.

GREAT!

Hey Radek,

I just watched some of your youtube cover's of Jarre and they are
fantastic - well done!

My first LP ever was Equinoxe and I've been a fan of JMJ ever since.

You're clearly an accomplished musician but do you do any of your own
composition?

Mike.
