Module Reference · Motion & Modulation

Vibrato

Vibrato bends pitch the honest way - a modulated delay line with sine or triangle shape, tempo sync and up to 180 degrees of stereo phase offset, which slides the effect from true vibrato into wide stereo shimmer.

Jitter adds tape-like instability, Safe Bass keeps everything below a chosen split solid and un-modulated, and Constant Pitch mode delivers the chorus-bar wobble without cumulative pitch bend. Small module, extremely usable.

Why it hits different

The GhostWare take.

  • Stereo phase turns vibrato into shimmer on one knob.
  • Safe Bass protects the low end from wobble.
  • Jitter gives it worn-tape soul instead of LFO sterility.

Control Showcase

Every control, explained.

11 controls, named exactly as they appear in the plugin.

Rate 0.1 to 10 Hz (default 5 Hz)

Vibrato speed when not synced.

Sync

Locks the timing to your session tempo at the chosen note value instead of free-running.

Off1/11/21/41/81/16
Depth 0 to 6 ms (default 2 ms)

How far the pitch bends each cycle.

Bias 2 to 12 ms (default 5 ms)

The base delay the vibrato modulates around - higher allows deeper bends.

Shape

Vibrato waveform: Sine or Triangle.

SineTriangle
Stereo 0 to 180 deg (default 0 deg)

Phase offset between channels - 0 is true vibrato, higher turns it into stereo shimmer.

Mix 0 to 100 % (default 100 %)

Blend between the untouched signal and the processed one. 100% is fully wet.

Jitter 0 to 100 % (default 0 %)

Randomizes the vibrato for tape-like instability.

Safe Bass

Keeps the low end un-modulated so bass stays solid.

OffOn
Bass Split 60 to 500 Hz (default 120 Hz)

The crossover under which Safe Bass protects.

Const Pitch

Chorus-bar style: modulates timing without the cumulative pitch bend.
