Chapter 9 Modulation 137
 Phase knob and field: Controls the phase relationship between the individual voice
modulations. The value that you choose here is dependent on the number of voices,
which is why it is shown as a percentage value rather than degrees. The value 100 (or
–100) is equal to the greatest possible distance between the modulation phases of all
voices.
 Spread slider and field: Used to distribute the voices across the stereo or surround
field. When you set a value of 200%, the stereo or surround base is expanded
artificially. Please note that monaural compatibility may suffer if you choose to do
this.
 Mix slider and field: Determines the balance between dry and wet signals.
 Effect Volume knob and field: Use this to independently determine the level of the
effects signal. This is a useful tool which compensates for changes in volume caused
by changes to the Voices parameter.
Using the Ensemble Effect in Surround
The Ensemble effect converts the input signal to mono before processing it. Therefore,
the Ensemble effect is inserted as multi channel effect in surround to surround
channels. To access the Surround parameters of the Ensemble effect, you need to insert
the Ensemble as a Mono to Surround or Stereo to Surround effect instance.
Flanger
The Flanger effect works in much the same way as the Chorus effect, but uses a
significantly shorter delay time. In addition, the effect signal can be fed back into the
input of the delay line.
Flanging is typically used to create changes sometimes described as adding a spacey or
underwater effect.
 Rate knob and field: Defines the frequency, and therefore the speed, of the LFO.
 Intensity slider and field: Determines the modulation amount.
 Feedback slider and field: Determines the amount of the effect signal that is routed
back into the input. Negative values invert the phase of the routed signal.
 Mix slider and field: Determines the balance between dry and wet signals.
