The Shape/Waveshape Section
The Waveshape and Shape knobs are paired together to
determine the form of the tremolo. While the last section
explored the rate and tempo of the Semaphore, this
section will illustrate the waveshapes that the tremolo is
based on, and how you can skew these shapes to create
interesting and original waveshapes.
The Semaphore comes equipped with the eight wave-
forms listed below, to experience these 8 shapes unal-
tered, the Shape knob should be at noon. With the excep-
tion of the random waveshape, all the others can be
manipulated using the Shape knob.

SHAPING THE WAVE
As stated before, the Shape knob is used to skew the waveform. This allows the user to make the tremolo more
asymetrical in its waveform. Below is a graph highlighting how the Shape knob does this morphing in various
positions. The graph uses the sine, ramp down, and triangle waveforms as examples.
