Headrush Vib / Trem / Rotary
AIR Vibrato
Inspired by AIR® Vibrato (Plug-in)
Modern, modulated vibrato effect varies pitch over time (not volume)
GENERAL FUNCTION
Modulates the pitch of the signal
Create:
- classic vibrato
- chorus-like effects
- experimental modulations
difference:
- Vibrato = pitch
- Tremolo = volume
Control Parameters
SyncY/N
- ON: sync to BPM
- OFF: free control in Hz
Rate influence
RateHz
Modulation speed:
- 0.1–1 Hz: slow / ambient
- 1–5 Hz: musical vibrato
- 5–10 Hz: Fast
- 10+ Hz: extreme effect
Defines the “tempo” of the vibrato
Shape%
Modulation waveform:
- bass: sine wave (smooth)
- medium: more defined
- tall: more “square” / aggressive

Depth%
Vibrato intensity:
- 0–20%: light
- 30–60%: musical
- 70–100%: noticeable
How much the pitch moves
Phase Offsetdeg
Phase difference between stereo channels:
- 0°: mono
- 90°: light stereo
- 180°: wide stereo
Create:
- spatiality
- stereo movement
Pro Tips
- High depth → unstable sound
- High rate → “nervous” effect
- Phase high → wide stereo but less mono compatible
For musical sound:
- Medium Depth
- Average installments
For ambient:
- Slow installments
- Phase high
Quick Reference
- Sync: sync tempo
- Rate (Hz): speed
- Shape (%): wave shape
- Depth (%): intensity
- Phase Offset: stereo
