Vibrato

The Vibrato generator adds periodic pitch variation to voiced note regions. It is a voice-level processor layer and is separate from note vibrato stored in Pitch expression.

Depth sets the peak pitch displacement above and below the current contour. At 0, the processor is off. Increasing the value makes the variation wider; 100 cents equals one semitone of peak displacement and is usually a conspicuous effect.

Rate sets the number of vibrato cycles per second. Lower values produce slower undulation. Higher values produce faster variation. Rate has no audible effect when Depth is 0.

Delay sets how long each voiced note waits before generated vibrato begins to fade in. At 0 ms, the fade begins at the note onset. Increasing the delay keeps more of the note stable; if the delay exceeds the available voiced duration, little or no generated vibrato is heard on that note.

Set Depth first, then choose a Rate appropriate to the delivery. Increase Delay when note attacks should remain stable. If both note vibrato and the Vibrato generator are enabled, their movements combine; disable one source when the result becomes excessive.
