ACE: modulating volume with LFO?

Pretty simple question but it has me stumped: I want to make a basic tremolo (volume modulation) effect with ACE, but the only options in the amplifier module are the ADSR envelopes and gate. How can I control the volume with an LFO?

Here's one way of doing it.
Connect the mixer output to input 1 of a multiple and turn it's knob to max. Connect the output of LFO1 to the "mod" input on the multiple. Connect the output of the multiple to a filter or straight to the output, make sure LFO1's level is maxumim then set LFO to taste.
Obviously, you can use LFO2 just the same.

Tremolo is one example of amplitude modulation (AM). As long as you keep the modulation source below 20Hz or so it'll do exactly what you're expecting. Here's an example where the filters are bypassed:

Make sure you use the right hand side of the modmixer. The left inputs are for Ring Modulation when a modulation source is connected.

Thanks to both of you!
I figured the multiplier was the key, but couldn't quite wrap my head around the best way to patch it together. Perfect!
