Multi Effect 2
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.
From the screen shown on the previous page, use the DIRECTION buttons to move the cursor to the
box to the right of “TYPE and turn the VALUE knob so that the highlighted box displays “Flanger.”
Make sure the box to the right of “SWITCH” displays “On,” otherwise you will not hear the selected
MULTI EFFECT or the changes you make to it.
You can now select and hear the changes to the characteristics for the Flanger MULTI EFFECT as you make
them.
From the above screen, press the DIRECTION “
q
” button once.
The box to the right of “RATE” should be highlighted.
RATE
This Parameter allows you to set the rate of the Flange effect. You can select from 0 (slowest rate) to 127
(fastest rate).
Turn the VALUE knob to the right to increase the rate.
Turn the VALUE knob to the left to decrease the rate.
