102 Chapter 9 Modulation
Microphaser
The Microphaser is a simple phaser effect that allows you to quickly create swooshing,
phasing effects with just three parameters:
 LFO Rate slider and field: Defines the frequency, and therefore the speed, of the LFO.
 Feedback slider and field: Determines the amount of the effect signal that is routed
back into the input.
 Intensity slider and field: Determines the amount of modulation.
Modulation Delay
The Modulation Delay is based on the same principles as the Flanger and Chorus
effects, but you can set the delay time, allowing both chorus and flanging effects to be
generated. It can also be used—without modulation—to create resonator or doubling
effects. The modulation section consists of two LFOs with variable frequencies.
 Feedback slider and field: Determines the amount of the effect signal that is routed
back to the input. If you’re going for radical flanging effects, enter a high Feedback
value. If simple doubling is what you’re after, you won’t want any feedback at all.
 Flanger-Chorus knob and field: Sets the basic delay time. Set to the far left position to
create flanger effects, to the center for chorus effects, and to the far right to hear
clearly discernible delays.
 Intensity slider and field: Sets the modulation amount.
 De-Warble button: Switch on to ensure that the pitch of the modulated signal
remains constant.
 Constant Mod. (Constant Modulation) button: Switch on to ensure that the
modulation width sounds constant, regardless of the modulation rate. Note that
when switched on, higher modulation frequencies will reduce the modulation width.
 LFO Mix slider and fields: Determines the balance between the two LFOs.
 LFO 1 and LFO 2 Rate knobs and fields: Use the left knob to set the modulation rate
for the left stereo channel, and the right knob to set the modulation rate of the right
stereo channel. The right LFO Rate knob is only available in stereo instances, and can
only be set separately if the Left Right Link button is not enabled.
