EFFECTS – MOD
Advanced Chorus
Additional parameters to the Classic Chorus:
Cho Dl – Chorus Delay
Range: 0 to 50ms
As described earlier, a Chorus/Flanger is basically a
Delay being modulated by an LFO. This parameter
allows you to change the length of that Delay.
A typical Chorus uses Delays at approximately 10ms,
while a Flanger uses Delays at around 5ms.
Though this not how a Chorus is normally used,
you may enjoy the “slap-back” resulting from
longer Delay times such as 30 to 50ms.
Ratio – Golden Ratio
Range: Off/On
TC research has shown that when the speed of a
modulation effect is increased, its depth should be
decreased accordingly to achieve the same amount of
perceived modulation. When the Golden Ratio parameter
is set to On, this value is automatically calculated.
Golden Ratio is a feature inherited from the classic TC
2290 processor.
Phase Reverse
Range: Off/On
Setting this parameter to On reverses the phase of the
processed signal in the right channel. This gives a very
wide Flange effects and a less defined sound.
Flanger – Introduction
The Flanger belongs to the same “family” of modulation
effects as the Chorus effect. The signal is split, and one
of the signals is pitch modulated.
The characteristic “flanging” sound occurs when part of
the signal is slightly delayed and fed back to the input
of the effect algorithm. Experiment with the Feedback
parameter to get a feeling for the achievable effects.
Classic Flanger
Speed
Range: 0.050Hz to 20Hz
This parameter sets the speed of the effect.
Tempo
Range: Ignore, 2 to 1/32T (T= Triplet & D= Dotted)
When set to any value between 1 and 1/32T, the G-
System’s Global Tempo is subdivided according to this
setting. When set to “Ignore”, the speed set by the
Speed parameter is used instead.
The Tap Master parameter – located in the Utility
menu – specifies whether the Global tempo or
the tempo set by the Speed parameter in each
preset should be used at preset change.
Depth
Range: 0 to 100%
The Depth parameter specifies the intensity of the
effect. The value represents the amplitude of the
modulating waveform.
Hi-Cut
Range: 20Hz to 20kHz
This parameter reduces the high-end frequencies in the
Flanger effect. Try using this parameter if you feel the
Flanger effect is too dominant in your sound and
turning down the Mix or Out level doesn’t give you the
dampening of the Flanger effect you are looking for.
