The Effects
40
FEEDBK - Sets the amount of wet signal fed back to the input. Increasing the feedback can give
the Flanger a metallic quality as it produces sharp resonances in the frequency response. Note that
excessive values can result in marginal stability and may even cause oscillation. Decrease the
feedback if this occurs.
MANUAL - Manually controls the delay time. You can use this along with a foot controller or other
controller to control the flange effect. For full manual control set the depth to zero.
MIX - Sets the ratio of wet and dry. Duplicated from MIX page. A setting of 50% produces the most
prominent effect.
TEMPO - Locks the rate to the global tempo. For example, if the global tempo is 120 bpm and the
tempo is set to a quarter note (1/4) then the LFO rate will be 2 Hz (120 bpm / 60 seconds = 2). To
ignore the global tempo set the tempo control to
NONE.
Advanced Parameters
DRY DELAY - Adjusts the delay time of the dry signal. This, in conjunction with the TIME
parameter can be used to achieve “Through-Zero Flanging” (TZF). By experimenting with
combinations of
TIME and DRY DELAY you can achieve wild TZF effects.
PHASE REVERSE -
Controls the phase of the wet signal. Either of both channels can be inverted.
Use along with
DRY DELAY to increase depth of TZF.
BASS - Adjusts the bass response of the wet signal. The bass can be boost or cut up to 12 dB.
TREBLE - Adjusts the treble response of the wet signal. The treble can be boost or cut up to 12 dB.
BASS FREQ - Adjusts the corner frequency of the bass control.
TREBLE FREQ - Adjusts the corner frequency of the treble control.
LFO PHASE - Adjusts the phase difference between the left and right lfo waveforms. For
maximum stereo spread set this to 180 degrees.
LFO TYPE - Selects the waveform for the LFO. Sine is the most commonly used waveform. You
can achieve strange rising/falling effects using the sawtooth types.
LFO HICUT - Adjusts the filtering of the LFO waveform. For certain waveform types along with
extreme depth or rate settings, clicking may occur at the waveform discontinuities. For example a
square wave can cause audible artifacts as the LFO rapidly changes from one extreme to the other.
Decreasing the
LFO HICUT frequency will mitigate this.
AUTO DEPTH -
When this is set to
LOW
or
HIGH
the depth is automatically scaled for the rate.
Lower rates therefore increase the actual depth and vice-versa. The
HIGH
setting allows greater
maximum depth. This greatly simplifies adjusting the rate and depth and gives the most musical
results. For wild sounds you may wish to set this to
OFF
which decouples the controls allowing for
full depth swing even at fast rates.
