Single Mode
▪
SHAPE: Controls the shape of the Flanger Pulse. The range of the controller bears a mul
titude of patterns and morphs between them for continuously new sound effects. Ex
plore the range of this knob in combination with the FEEDB and the AMNT knob and store
the preset whenever you like it.
▪
FEEDB (Feedback): Controls the strength of the flangers’ feedback making the effect
stronger and more colorful. Min: low feedback, Max: strong feedback
▪
AMNT (Amount): The knob has two operating zones on the left and the right side of the
center position and controls the modulation amount of the Flanger frequency.
▪
FB- (Inverted Feedback): Only passes uneven harmonics, making the flanging effect
sound deeper in frequency.
▪
SPR (Stereo Spread): Creates an offset between the flanging effect of the right and left
stereo channel giving the effect of spatial depth.
Group Mode (1-Knob Control)
The knob has two operating zones on the left and the right side of the center position. It
