Modulation is a technique in audio production to add movement and groove to sounds that need a little movement. There are mainly 5 types of modulation effects: Chorus, Phaser, Tremolo, Ring Mod, and Flanger. All these modulation effects achieve their distinct sound by modulating the signal with an LFO or low frequency oscillator. Not surprisingly, there are tons of Modulation VST plugins on the market to choose from.
