X/Y switching in the Tremolo/Panner block
The Tremolo/Panner block in the Axe-Fx II XL and XL+, the FX8 and the AX8 supports X/Y switching.
Depth = Mix
There's no Mix parameter In the Tremolo. Depth is the same as Mix, because a tremolo's modulation is volume-based.
Fractal Audio: "Mix makes no sense in a tremolo as it is the same as reducing the depth." source
Start Tremolo on the beat
You can make the Tremolo start on the beat (triggered): use the Start Phase parameter.
