- Mono flanger & stereo flanger: Similar to the other modes. In this
case, lower delay periods and a slightly changed modulation are
processed.
• Rate: This specifies the speed of the modulation. Lower rates
provide slight hovering effects, and high speeds produce a wobbling,
typically distorted "underwater" sound.
• Depth: This parameter specifies the depth of the modulation, i.e. the
maximum deviation of the modulation and the resulting pitch
bending.
• Feedback: This parameter defines the portion of the delay that is
sent back to the input. Feedback causes the effects of modulation to
be more drastic and cutting.
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.
