100 Chapter 8 Modulation
 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 and surround 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.
 Distribution menu (only available in surround instances): Defines how the phase offsets
between the individual channels are distributed in the surround field. You can
choose from Circular, Random, Front <> Rear, and Left <> Right distribution. When
you load a setting that uses the Random option, the saved phase offset value is
recalled. If you want to randomize the phase setting again, choose “new random“ in
the Distribution menu.
 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.
