The Effect Types:
 Some effects offer a "sync version", e.g. Flanger Sync, which enables the effect to
synchronize to the tempo.
Flanger
A Flanger is an effect that uses a modulated delay line to emulate a classic effect, formerly
produced by running two analog tape machines in parallel with a slight time disalignment. Slow
rates can produce a jet engine "whoosh" effect, faster rates add a "warble" to the sound.

Chorus 4-voice
A Chorus effect uses an LFO to modulate the pitch and a time delay of the input signal, which is
then added to the dry signal. In small amounts, this will create the illusion of multiple voices
playing at once. Turn up the Feedback and Depth for more pronounced "shimmering" and
"watery" sounds.
