RFX-32
RFX Flanger
I/O Mode
The three I/O modes control the input/output
configuration of the flanger:
•
Mono -
In this mode, only the left channel input signal
is processed. All the flange stages are used in series to
produce a single effect signal, which is fed equally to
both left and right outputs.
•
Mono/Stereo
- In this mode, a pseudo-stereo output is
produced by processing only the left input channel.
Multiple flange stages with slightly different character-
istics produce distinct left and right output signals
which create a wide stereo panorama.
•
Stereo -
In this mode, the RFX Flanger operates as a true
stereo flanger: left and right input channels are
processed separately to produce distinct left and right
outputs. The processing applied to each channel is the
same until higher Flange Mult values and alternating
cancellation Flange Modes are encountered, or until
Dual sweeps are used to create inverted flange sweeps
between outputs.
Sweep Smoothing
This parameter applies varying amounts of smoothing
to the sweep control signal after it has been shaped and
before it is applied to control the delay lines.

Sweep Smoothing values
greater than 0 may not be
particularly useful until using the
Log or Square sweep shapes,
which have sharp transitions
that can benefit from some
smoothing.
The main utility of the Sweep Smoothing is for
smoothing the transitions between flange offsets
produced by the flanger’s internal Sample & Hold.
Sweep Smoothing is also applied to the flange offsets set
directly by the Flange Delay modulation parameter. In
this case it can be very useful for smoothing jittery
input from MIDI controllers or limiting the amount of
pitch-shift applied to the signal during radical
modulation changes.
Samp/Hold Source
A sample and hold can be inserted into the modulation
path or turned off. This parameter selects the clock
source for the sample and hold. See “Background:
Sample & Hold” in the RFX operation manual for more
information.
•
Off
- Modulation signal bypasses the Sample & Hold.
•
LFO 2
- an oscillator with a range of .25 to 980 bpm.
•
System Tempo
- LFO 2 synced to Seq/Arp/MIDI clock
• MIDI
- Any time the MIDI CC value
(connected via “Edit
Modulation” in the Setup Edit screen)
changes and is a
number greater than 0, the input to the S & H is sampled
and held on its output. At values below 1, the input is
passed unchanged.
