FLANGE
Thecharacteristic“flanging”soundoccurswhenapitch-modulatedpartofthesignalisslightlydelayed
and fed back to the input of the effect algorithm. Experiment with the Feedback parameter to get an
idea of the effects you can achieve.
TAPE
- also know as the “through-zero-flange” emulates the original way of creating a flange effect, with
two identical pieces of audio material being played back simultaneously on two tape decks and then
beingmixedonathirddeck.Theflangingeffectwasachievedbyslowingdownandspeedingupthe
twodecksatdifferenttimes.Anessentialpartofthespecialeffectcreatedthiswayistheuniquephase
cancellation occurring when the two signals pass each other in time (the zero point).
