FLANGER - RATE
This allows you to adjust the modulation speed.
The setting range is “0” to “127.” The cycle becomes faster as the value increases.
⓰ FLANGER - DEPTH
This allows you to adjust the depth of modulation.
The setting range is “0” to “127.” The modulation becomes deeper as the value increases.
⓱
FLANGER - RESONANCE
This allows you to adjust the amount of resonance (feed-back).
The setting range is “0” to “127.” The resonance becomes greater as the value increases. At
higher values, the sound is modulated beyond normal recognition.
⓲ FLANGER - DELAY
This allows you to control the delay of the effect sound.
The setting range is “0” to “127.” The delay increases as the value is increased.
⓳ FLANGER - MIX
This allows you to adjust the volume balance between the “dry” and the effect sound.
The setting range is “0” to “127.” At “0,” only the “dry” is heard. The effect level becomes
greater as the value is increased. At “127,” the ratio between the “dry” and the effect sounds
becomes 1:1.
⓴
FLANGER - HPF
This allows you to control the frequency range of the effect.
The setting range is “0” to “127.” At “0,” the effect is added to all frequencies. The effect is
added to the higher frequencies as the value increases.
NOTE: All the parameters described on these pages are Patch Parameters and can be
stored to individual Patches. For a complete listing of all Patch Parameters, please con-

Flanger
“Flanging” occurs when two identical signals are mixed together, and one of the signals is time-delayed by a very small amount. The small time
delay produces peaks and valleys in the harmonic structure of the sound, resulting in a sweeping effect sometimes referred to colloquially as a
“Jet Airplane” sound.
The term, “Flanger” derives from the means originally used to produce this effect. Two tape machines running at exactly the same speed would
play the same material into a third machine, and an engineer would drag his finger along the “flange” or outer edge of the tape reel on one of
the machines, thereby causing the small time delay and creating the sweeping effect.
