Nullification of the feedback is set at the middle of the fader. Set to the right,
the feedback is fed to the input equi-phasal; to the left, the feedback occurs.
Both variants may sound very different depending on the signal, since they
prefer different frequency ranges for dissonance.
 Mix: Regulates the mix ratio of the original signal and the delayed portion.
Phaser
The phaser is often mistaken for a
flanger due to its typically sharper and
cutting effect. In any case, the pitch is not modulated. Instead, the modulation
process burrows multiple notches into the frequency response, somewhat like
a comb filter. Just like an airplane taking off, the phaser functions with a similar
jet effect. It is suitable for enduring signals like synth surfaces or for producing
sound designs like atmosphere or distortion effects.
Phaser Parameters
 Mode: Th
e selection includes a number of filter stages. At 4 stages/8 stages,
a more plastic effect is achieved, and more complex patterns are reached at
16 stages. Please note that the more stages are involved, the more computing
time will be needed.
 Rate: Speed of filter modulation. The essential effect is the same for both
chorus and flanger.
 Depth: Similar to chorus/flanger, whereby it's the filter notches that are
addressed, and not the pitch modulation.
 Feedback: The feedback portion produces a more drastic effect in this case.
Similarly to the chorus/flanger, co-phasal or opposite-phase feedback is
possible.
 Mix: Regulates the mix ratio of the original signal and the delayed portion.
