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.
Speed
Range: 0.050 Hz to 20 Hz
This parameter sets the speed of the effect.
Tempo
Range: Disable, 1 to 1/32T (T= Triplet & D= Dotted)
When set to any value between 2 and 1/32T, the NOVA
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: 20 Hz to 20 kHz
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.
FeedB – Feedback
Range: -100 to 100
This parameter controls the amount of Feedback
(Resonance) of the short modulated delay that causes
the Flanging effect. When the Feedback is set too high
(above approximately 90% to 95%), this might introduce
internal Feedback, resulting in a squealing noise that in
most cases is unwanted in flanging effects. Be aware of
this side-effect when experimenting at high volumes.
Negative values inverse the phase of the signal that is
fed back to the algorithm’s Input.
FB Cut – Feedback hi-cut
Range: 20Hz to 20kHz
A parameter that can attenuate the high-end frequencies
of the resonance created with the Feedback parameter.
Fla Dl – Flanger Delay
Range: 0 to 50 ms
Typically, Delay values around 0.8 ms are used for
Flanging effects, whereas Chorus effects occur with
Delay times around 10ms. You are free, however, to
choose Delay times from 0 to 50ms.
Mix
Range: 0 to 100%
This parameter sets the relationship between the dry
signal and the level of the effect in this Effect Block.
