Core Effects Descriptions<br />

Flanger<br />

A flanger is a very short delay line whose output is mixed back together with the original<br />

sound. Mixing the original and delayed signals results in multiple frequency cancellations<br />

known as a comb filter. Since the flanger is a type of filter, it works best with<br />

harmonically rich sounds.<br />

A low frequency oscillator is included to slowly change the delay time. This creates a<br />

rich, sweeping effect as the notches move up and down across the frequency range. The<br />

amount of feedback deepens the notches, intensifying the effect. You can invert the<br />

feedback signal by choosing a negative feedback value. Inverting the feedback signal<br />

creates peaks in the notch filter and deepens the effect.<br />

Parameter Description<br />

Phase<br />

Out<br />

Delay Sets the initial delay of the flanger from 0-4 mS in 1/100th millisecond<br />

increments. This parameter allows you to “tune” the<br />

flanger to a specific frequency range.<br />

Feedback Controls how much signal is recirculated through the delay line<br />

and increases resonance. Negative values can produce intense<br />

flanging with some signals.<br />

LFO Rate Sets the frequency of the low frequency oscillator.<br />

LFO Depth Sets how much the LFO affects the delay time. Increases the<br />

animation and amount of the flanging effect.<br />

LFO Waveform Selectable between Sine or Triangle wave.<br />

LFO L/R Phase Controls the stereo width by adjusting the phase difference<br />

between the left and right sweeps.<br />
