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: 0.050 Hz to 20 Hz

This parameter sets the speed of the effect.
Depth

Range: 0 to 100 %

The Depth parameter specifies the intensity of

the effect. The value represents the amplitude

of the modulating waveform.
Tempo

Range: Ignore, 1 to 1/32T (T= Triplet & D=

Dotted)

When set to any value between 2 and 1/32T,

the Global Tempo is subdivided according to

this setting. When set to “Ignore”, the speed set

using the Speed parameter is used instead.

The Tap Master parameter – located in

the Global menu – specifies whether

the Global tempo or the tempo set by

the Speed parameter in each preset

should be used at preset change.

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 does not dampen the Flanger

effect as needed.
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 (approximately above

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: 20 Hz to 20 kHz

A parameter that can attenuate the high-end

frequencies of the resonance created with the

Feedback parameter.
Mix

Range: 0 to 100 %

This parameter sets the relationship between

the level of the dry signal and the level of the

effect in this block.
OutLev – Out Level

Range: -100 to 0 dB

This parameter sets the overall output level for

this effect.
