104 Chapter 9 Modulation
 Ceiling and Floor slider and fields: Use the individual slider handles to determine the
frequency range that will be affected by the LFO modulations.
 Order slider and field: Allows you to choose between different phaser algorithms. The
more orders a phaser has, the heavier the effect.
 Env Follow slider and field (Sweep section): Determines how much the frequency
range (as set with the Ceiling and Floor controls) is modulated by the level of the
input signal.
 LFO 1 and LFO 2 Rate knobs and fields: Use to set the speed for each LFO
independently.
 LFO Mix slider and fields: Determines the balance between the two LFOs.
 Env Follow slider and field (LFO section): Use this to set how much the speed of LFO 1
is modulated by the level of the input signal.
 Phase knob and field (only available in stereo instances): Controls the phase
relationship between the individual channel modulations. At 0°, the extreme values
of the modulation are achieved simultaneously for all channels. 180° or –180° is equal
to the greatest possible distance between the modulation phases of the channels.
 Output Mix slider and field: Determines the balance of dry and wet signals. Negative
values result in a phase inverted mix of the effect and direct (dry) signal.
 Warmth button: Click to switch on an additional distortion circuit, which allows the
creation of warm overdrive effects.
Setting the Phaser Orders
The more orders a phaser has, the heavier the effect. The 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 settings put
five different phaser algorithms at your fingertips, all of which replicate the analog
circuits that they are modeled on, each designed for a specific application.
You are free to select odd numbered settings (5, 7, 9, 11), which, strictly speaking, don’t
generate actual phasing. The more subtle comb filtering effects produced by odd
numbered settings can, however, come in handy on occasion.
