THE BLOCKS
Golden Ratio
Sets the Golden Ratio between Speed and Depth On/Off. If
you want to create wild Chorus sounds you may want to turn
the Golden Ratio off.
Phase Reversed
Reverses the phase of the right channel, but only on the
effect signal. This function makes the stereo image much
wider.
LFO Curve
Sets the curve of the LFO. Choose between: Sine or
Triangle.
The most commonly used waveform in Chorus is Sine. (see
Curve figures in Tremolo).
LFO Phase
An LFO phase change causes a small delay in one of the
waveform starting points. This means that the left and right
outputs start the current waveform at two different points.
Example: If LFO Phase is set to 180º, left and right will be
exactly opposite.
LFO PHASE
Mix*
Mixes between direct sound and effect.
In Level*
Controls the input level of the block.
Out Level*
Controls the output level of the Chorus block.
Flanger Classic
The Classic Flanger uses a relationship between Speed and
Depth called the Golden Ratio. This feature was inherited
from the TC 2290. The parameters available in the Modifier
Matrix are marked with an asterisk*.
FLANGER CLASSIC
90 phas
change
Mod link
Enables you to bypass the internal LFO of the Flanger, and
control the sweep manually through the Modifier Matrix.
When set to “Shape” the Speed entrance in the Modifier
Matrix works as manual control over the Flanger. “Speed”
lets the Flangers internal LFO handle the modulation.
Speed*
The modulation speed of the Flanger, also known as Rate.
Tempo
The Tempo parameter sets the relationship to the global
Tempo e.g. if you set it to 1/4T the Flanger will use a
quarter note triplet of the tapped tempo to perform one
cycle. 1/4 equals the BPM (tapped Tempo).
The subdivisions available are, 16/1 (16 bars for performing
one period), 8/1, 4/1, 2/1, 1/1, and 1/2-1/32 in straight,
dotted and triplet notes - 1/4 equals BPM (beats per minute).
If you select “Ignored” the current parameter will use the
Preset value and will not be affected by the Global Tempo.
Depth*
Adjusts the modulation depth of the Flanger, also known as
Intensity.
Feedback*
Controls the amount of feedback in the Flanger.
Note that this parameter can be negative, i.e. feedback in
reversed phase.
Mix*
Mixes between direct sound and effect.
In Level*
Controls the input level of the block.
Out Level*
Controls the output level of the Flanger block.
Advanced Flanger
Advanced Flanger adds some extra possibilities like Cross
Feedback, LFO phase and Curve. The parameters available
in the Modifier Matrix are marked with an asterisk*.
Mod Link
Enables you to bypass the internal LFO of the Flanger, and
control the sweep manually through the Modifier Matrix.
When set to “Shape” the Speed entrance in the Modifier
Matrix works as manual control over the Flanger. “Speed”
lets the Flangers internal LFO handle the modulation.
Speed*
The modulation speed of the Flanger, also known as Rate.
