ModFactor User Guide The Effects

Flanger

Flanger is similar to Phaser, however the use of delay lines in place of filters creates notches

that are harmonically related to each other.

ModFilter

ModFilter is a set of modulated filters. Intensity controls a combination of base filter

frequency and Q, while Depth controls the frequency offset of the left and right channels to

create a stereo image.

Rotary

Simulates the sound of a rotating speaker for that popular Leslie effect. ModFactor offers two

types of rotary simulations – a standard-sized and an over-sized (“giant”) cabinet.

TremoloPan

Tremolo is an effect that is created by modulating the level of the incoming audio with an

LFO. With this effect, as you turn Xnob knob, it will shift the phase of the right channel’s LFO

creating a tremolo that will move from left to right in the stereo field. When the Xnob is full

clockwise, the right channel will be 180 degrees out of phase with the left creating an

autopanner. Both outputs will have to be connected for this to function correctly.

Vibrato

Vibrato is an effect that simulates the pitch change you get by modulating a guitar string or

using a whammy bar. Modulating the rate with an Expression Pedal or envelope will create

some insane vibratos.

Undulator

Undulator is a classic Eventide effect that combines two delays, two detuned voices, and a

FM modulated tremolo. By turning up the Intensity you can increase the dry/effect ratio.

RingMod

Ring Modulator is an effect created by multiplying an input signal by an audio frequency

waveform; the result is a waveform containing the sums and differences of those frequencies

and their partials. This creates a waveform with complex (and possibly enharmonic) bell-like

overtones.

By using the S-Mod control to modulate this carrier frequency you can create useful and

interesting sounds. By engaging the Sync to Tempo/Pitch feature, the LFO rate control

displays note values instead of Hz, by selecting the tonic of your scale or something similar

you can ensure that the output of this process will be harmonically related to the notes you

play. The Depth parameter slightly detunes the right and left voices creating a stereo field.

Note that the Mod Rate knob controls Sensitivity for this effect.
