548 EFFECTS MENU
- 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.
Phaser parameters
• Mode: The 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.
