What I'm trying to do is automate a sound so the tremelo goes from being fast to gradually becoming slow and stopping, letting the sound finish and fade out normally. The duration of this trick is about 2 measures. I've heard it done before but I can't get it to work on the Pulveriser because it gets choppy and glitchy while switching thru speeds while on sync. (possible bug?) I have it set to syn because for whatever reason there is no tremelo happening with syn off.
I did get a decent result by automating the tremelo on the Vermilion amp but it's not as smooth as I hoped for and I really prefer to do it on Pulveriser in this case. Any advice will help!
*Just know I have already tried different waveforms, messed with the lag, and sync. Oh and by the way, it's a sustained note.Image

Automating tremolo speed works fine her when sync is off (Reason 7.1.1).

Hello,

I was able to do something similar using a Malstroem, and connecting the MOD A output to the Pulverizer tremor rate. Using the modulator curve #9, no sync.
If I click Sync, then I also get choppy sound.

Let's see if I can tweak it somehow. Brb.

EDIT: yep, got it to work. The mod signal from Malstroem was too high so I decreased it in the back panel of the Pulverizer to 27%, and I now got a initial 15 Hz or so tremolo decreasing to 1 Hz in just a bit more than 2 bars; no strange sound artifacts.

EDIT#2: I tweaked it a bit more so that it now ends the tremor with very low frequency instead of 1Hz.
I forgot to mention that I use a dummy note on the CV Malstroem to trigger the modulation.

Hmm...what's the best way of sharing this reason file in case you'd like that?

EDIT#3: screendumps

Yes, you just need to turn BPM Sync off or it will jump from steed to speed in a blocky fashion rather than smoothly.

Google Drive works best. Send it to [url=mailto:lastalternative@yahoo.com]lastalternative@yahoo.com[/url]
I really appreciate your help but I don't know much about CV or how to trigger a ghost note on it so it's hard for me to grasp what you did there. Did try messing with it going off your pictures with no luck though. I got it to sound better on the Vermilion amp. It's just that I want to maybe use some other features of the Pulveriser so I would like the reason file if you would be so kind.
