Depth Is Mix!
Many modulation-type effects provide mix controls. In fact, it is impossible to achieve
most modulation effects without one. By definition, these effects are created by com-
bining the dry input signal with some affected signal. This signal is usually processed
by a phase-shift network, digital delay line, or analog bucket brigade delay.
The Instant Flanger has a mix knob too, but rather than being labeled Mix, it is called
Depth. At 0% the output is only the delayed signal. At 100% the output is the equal mix
of the input and the delayed signal. At
−
100% the
inverted
input signal is mixed equally
with the delayed signal.
Why is it called Depth, you ask? As you add more of the dry signal to the delayed signal,
nulls appear in the output spectrum. These nulls get deeper as the two signals approach
equal amplitude. Hence you are controlling the
depth
of the nulls!
Stereorizer
The Eventide Clockworks Instant Flanger had two outputs: Main and Aux. Main is the
output of two bucket brigade devices in series, while Aux is the output from a single
bucket brigade device. This means the Main output’s delay time is roughly twice that of
the Aux output. Furthermore, the Main output is 180° out of phase with the input signal
and the Aux output. If the two outputs are configured such that the Main out is sent to
the left channel, and Aux out to the right, you will hear a stereo effect. This will sound
like the signal is moving from the center to the right channel (at 100% depth) or to the
left channel (at
−
100% depth). The output path used by the plug-in can be configured
with the Mode setting.
