Chapter 10 Modulation eects 191
Modulation Delay
Modulation Delay is based on the same principles as the Flanger and Chorus eects, but you can
set the delay time, allowing both chorus and anging eects to be generated. It can also be used
without modulation to create resonator or doubling eects. The modulation section consists of
two LFOs with variable frequencies.
Although rich, combined anging and chorus eects are possible, the Modulation Delay is
capable of producing some extreme modulation eects. These include emulations of tape speed
uctuations and metallic, robot-like modulations of incoming signals.
Modulation Delay parameters
•
Feedback slider and eld: Drag to set the amount of eect signal routed back to the input.
Use a high Feedback value for strong modulations. If you want to double the signal, don’t
use Feedback. Negative values invert the phase of the feedback signal, resulting in more
chaotic eects.
•
Flanger-Chorus knob and eld: Rotate to set the basic delay time. Set to the far left position
to create anger eects, to the center for chorus eects, and to the far right to hear clearly
discernible delays.
•
De-Warble button: Turn on to make sure the pitch of the modulated signal remains constant.
•
Const(ant) Mod(ulation) button: Turn on to make sure the modulation width remains constant,
regardless of the modulation rate.
Note: When Const Mod is enabled, higher modulation frequencies reduce the modulation
width.
•
Mod(ulation) Intensity slider and eld: Drag to set the modulation amount.
•
LFO Mix slider and elds: Drag to determine the balance between the two LFOs.
•
LFO 1 and LFO 2 Rate knobs and elds: Rotate to set the modulation rate for the left and right
stereo channels.
Note: The right LFO Rate knob is available only in stereo instances and can be set separately
only if the Left Right Link button is not enabled.
•
LFO Left Right Link button: Turn on to link the modulation rates of the left and right stereo
channels. Adjustment of either Rate knob will aect the other channel in stereo instances.
•
LFO Phase knob and eld: Rotate to control the phase relationship between channel
modulations. Available only in stereo instances.
•
At 0°, the extreme values of the modulation are achieved simultaneously for both channels.
•
At 180° or −180°, you achieve the greatest possible distance between the modulation phases
of the channels.
Note: The LFO Phase parameter is available only if the LFO Left Right Link button is active.
