Chapter 58: Reel Tape Flanger 287
Reel Tape Flanger Tips
 To achieve a flanging effect, set the Range con-
trol within the “Flange” range and adjust the
LFO Depth control to a value that is greater than
the offset (so that the variable delay crosses the
“zero” point.)
 To achieve an ADT (doubling) effect, set the
Range control within either of the “ADT” ranges
and adjust the LFO Depth control to a value that
is smaller than the offset (so that the variable
delay does not cross the “zero” point).
 To achieve a manual flanging effect, set the
LFO Depth control to 0 and vary (or automate)
the Range control within the “Flange” range. For
fine control, hold Control (Windows) or Com-
mand (Mac) while varying the Range control.
 To add complexity to flanging or ADT effects,
turn up the Wow/Flutter control to introduce
more fluctuation in the variable delay.
 Use Reel Tape Flanger in a send/return config-
uration to mix the dry signal with an aggres-
sively driven, flanged signal to control the
amount of “grunge” in the final mix.
 When you start playback, the LFO sweep al-
ways starts at the bottom of the cycle, so each
time you start playback from the same location
(for example, at a bar line), the effect will be ap-
plied in the same way.
