The stereo Flange programs have two 2-tap delays —one per channel. The first tap is fixed, and the
second sweeps past it. Mixing the two delay taps together creates the flanging effect.
All of these programs should be used with Mix set to fully Wet to achieve the full flange effect.
Flanging effects were originally created by simultaneously recording and playing back two identical
programs on two tape recorders, then using hand pressure against the flange of the tape reels to
slow down first one machine, then the other. The result was a series of changing phase cancella-
tions and reinforcements, with a characteristic swishing, tunnelling and fading sound.
