- Stereo chorus: Compared to mono chorus, two copies of the original are
created, modulated against each other, and then fed accordingly to the set mix
ratio to the left and right output channel.
- 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.
