FX Engine — TREMOR Docs

Available Effects

Tremor includes a full suite of DJ effects. Each effect is beat-synced and optimized for live performance.

Delay / Echo

Rhythmic repeats synced to BPM. Great for fills and transitions.

Reverb

Room ambience from tight to cavernous. Add space to vocals or snares.

Filter

High-pass and low-pass sweeps. The classic DJ effect.

Flanger

Jet-plane swooshing sound. Works great on builds.

Phaser

Swirling, spacey modulation. Classic on synths and pads.

Bitcrusher

Lo-fi degradation. Adds grit and digital artifacts.

Gate

Rhythmic stuttering. Chops the signal in sync with the beat.

Chorus

Thick, doubled sound. Widens stereo image.

Tremolo

Volume modulation for pulsing, rhythmic textures.

Effect Controls

Each effect slot has these controls:

Effect Selector — Choose which effect to use
Wet/Dry — Mix between clean and effected signal. 0% = dry, 100% = full effect
Beat Division — Time parameter in musical values: 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 4 beats
On/Off — Enable or bypass the effect

Interactive Graphs

Filter and Delay effects feature interactive graphs where you can drag to adjust parameters visually. For Filter, drag horizontally for cutoff frequency and vertically for resonance.

Effect Chaining

You can stack up to 3 effects per deck. They're processed in series:

Input → Slot 1 → Slot 2 → Slot 3 → Output

Order matters! A reverb into a delay sounds spacey and distant. A delay into a reverb sounds washy and ambient. Experiment with different chains.

💡

Pro Tip

Use a filter as your last effect in the chain. It lets you "close" the effect tail cleanly during transitions.

Pad FX Mode

For instant effect triggers, switch to Pad FX mode on the performance pads. Each pad triggers a different effect while held:

Hold a pad to activate the effect
Release to cut the effect instantly
Use multiple pads for layered effects

Pad FX are perfect for quick hits during drops and transitions. They're pre-configured for maximum impact.

Audio Unit Effects

On iPad, Tremor supports Audio Unit (AU) plugins. Load your favorite third-party effects directly into the effect chain.
