on the Part. The Delay module does not offer direct modu-
lated delay effects, use the separate Chorus/Flanger modu-
le to achieve modulated delay effects such as vibrato, cho-
rus and flanging.
Phaser Module
Kyra features a hand-crafted 6-stage stereo Phaser on each
part and the effect includes a dedicated dual-output (quad-
rature) super low frequency LFO with the same wavesha-
pes available in the main LFOs. Further modulation possi-
bilities exist with the Mod Matrix.
Use the Phaser to provide the classic swirling phaser
sound. Alternatively, you can use the Phaser with little or
no modulation to provide sound colouring to emulate
instrument resonances. Several of the Kyra presets use the
Phaser in this configuration to provide a colouration and
boxy faux stereo effect. In this configuration use the Pha-
ser's frequency control to choose the colouration required.
The Phaser is also very useful for vocal effects and works
well with the Formant Filter. Check out some of the vocal
preset Patches - many have the Phaser frequency wired up
to the modulation wheel to adjust the timbre of the effect.
The
Feedback
control determines the intensity of the
effect. The feedback can be positive or negative and the
effect is very different in each case. With positive feedback
the sound has distinctly less bass as there is attenuation at
low frequencies but the effect is more intense and very
distinct from negative feedback.
The
Mix
control allows the effect to be mixed in from 0%
(i.e. no effect) to 100% wet.
Kyra’s Phaser has a dedicated super-low frequency stereo
quadrature LFO. In contrast to the main LFOs, the Phaser
LFO runs at one tenth of the speed to allow for Phaser
sweeps that can span over several bars. By default, the
modulation waveform is a sine wave but the Phaser LFO
allows any of the main LFO shapes to be selected as an
alternative.
