Modulation01 / 06
Chorus-Ensemble
Multiple slightly-detuned delayed copies — one voice sounds like a small group, widens the stereo.
Modulation02 / 06
Auto Pan (Tremolo)
Both channels rise and fall together — classic vintage amp tremolo throb.
Modulation03 / 06
Phaser-Flanger (Flanger)
A swooshing metallic whoosh that moves up and down — short modulated delay creating comb filtering.
Tonal04 / 06
Saturator
Subtle warmth and "weight" — gentle harmonic distortion that thickens a signal without obviously breaking it.
Tonal05 / 06
Pedal
A guitar stompbox in software — OD / Distort / Fuzz modes go from light grit through broken amp to total fuzzed-out buzz.
Modulation06 / 06
Vocoder
A vocal "speaks through" a sustained synth pad — the pad sings the lyrics with the vocal's rhythm and formants.
