I was thinking it was something exotic with your suggestion that it wasn't simply modulating gain - but I see that the spice is in the relationship between the two processing stages. Still, whilst trying to work out what you initially meant, the idea of modulating a crossfade between two waveshapers (in the sense of: one waveshaper, two tables) came to mind and now I'm wondering how bad that might sound.
It depends on how you set up the waveshaper stage. In this case, yes, it's quite simple, once you find the right curve.
If you want to experiment with that, we have Wave Box that's perfect for exotic tremolos as well. You can modulate and crossfade between two curves (not tables). It may sound bad, or you may find a sweet spot, it's very trial and error and dependent on the source material too.

Thank you! Working with him it's super fun and we already have a lot of new ideas that we are discussing. We share the same passion for unusual instruments and effects, so working together is very natural.
You're very welcome. And, nice upselling. ;) :D

The idea of modulating the waveshaper waveform is interesting though as it would allow for more nonlinearity as it doesn't have to settle at a zero baseline - the wave could bend about a point to set "depth", with central path kept linear - or deform in a musical way.

So in a brief experiment, I pushed this one a little beyond and discovered that, depending on the signal being fed, the result is quite a nice "sweeping/swooshing" sound - not unlike a mic capsule being overloaded by a strong breeze.

Also looks pretty.

And +1 for Audiority forever. Greatly impressed by Luca's work. Good to know that you're buddies. :)

they had many purpose built circuits to have a look at maybe?
(not saying it's easy, btw, just an idea 8) )
Very much second this as well. 8)

Ullo John! Gotta New Motor?
This is the same method MJ used when he was working on Anthony Marinelli's Thriller.
