Frequently Asked Questions
Exponential mode creates a more dramatic, aliasing effect with a much wider perceived shift range, useful for harsher, more dissonant textures.
While technically possible, it’s not ideal; the frequency shifting is very obvious and lacks the subtle movement of dedicated chorus or tremolo modules.
It's a simple blend, not a true balanced output, which means you might need to adjust levels carefully to avoid clipping.
