Note
Many modulation-type effects provide mix controls. The Instant Flanger has a mix knob
too, but rather than being labeled Mix, it is called Depth. Why is it called Depth, you ask?
As you add more of the dry signal to the wet signal, nulls appear in the output spectrum.
These nulls get deeper as the two signals approach equal amplitude. Hence you are
controlling the depth of the nulls!
Source: Sets the source of the modulation. This can be any combination of the following:
Oscillator: The classic LFO-controlled flanging, with a variable rate.
Manual: Controls the flanging manually.
Envelope: Lets the level of the input signal control the flanging, with adjustable threshold and
release time.
Mode: Adjusts the stereo width of the flanging: Shallow, Deep, and Wide.
Note
The original Instant Flanger had two unique outputs called Main and Aux. The Main
output used two bucket brigade devices in series, while the Aux output only used a single
Bucket Brigade. This means the delay times of the Main output are roughly double that of
the Aux output. The Mode control gives you access to which of these outputs is used by
the Algorithm, and it can drastically change the sound.
In Shallow mode, all outputs will correspond to the Aux output of the hardware unit.
In Deep mode, all outputs will correspond to the Main output of the hardware unit.
In Wide mode, the Main output is routed to the left channel and the Aux output is
routed to the right channel. Because of the different delay lengths and the fact that
Main and Aux are out of phase with each other, Wide mode will sound like it is panning
the signal to the left or right, depending on how the Depth knob is set.
Note that if you are using a mono output, Wide mode will be the same as Deep mode.
