Description

This device implements the harmonic tremolo effect found on some early brown plate fender amplifiers. The rate of tremolo can be free or snapped to the grid. There is also the ability to add saturation and adjust to taste with the input gain control. Be free to leave feedback for future versions.

    First revision:
    Added a phase offset slider so it can be possible to calibrate the LFO curve in relation to the frequency/rate. Changed the placement and look of the Analog Saturation toggle so it is more intuitive. Some changes were made to the interface so it could accommodate this changes.

    Corrected the implementation of the phase splitter (was wrong due to a misunderstanding) and added a auto gain compensation to the depth of the tremolo to assure that the output is always around the same RMS value as the input.

    Now the device is in sync with the project in the same way that LFO M4L device syncs up.
    Have fun!

    sounds very nice but when you turn on the saturation the device stops functioning. 
    I think the errors I see in the Max console are the reason:
    poly~: no patcher polydrive

    It's fixed. It should be working by now! Thank you for your feedback.
