dard durations, or in triplet (T) or dotted (*) form.
Examples:

•

1/4 specifies the duration of a quarter note.

•

1/8+ sets the modulation rate to a dotted eight
note.

•

1/16T sets the modulation rate to a sixteenth
triplet.

•

1/1 sets the modulation rate to span one bar.

•

2/1 sets the modulation rate to span two bars.

Spread

Adjusts the width of the notches produced by the
phaser. Usually 100% sounds best.

Feedbk

The output of the phaser can be fed back to its input,
creating a resonant sweep. Both positive and nega-
tive feedback is possible, at center position there is no
feedback.

Freq

Sets the lowest frequency the Phaser . For the Cho-
rus/Flanger types, this parameters specifies the fre-

quency range to include. Usually this should be set to
100% to include the entire frequency spectrum.

Depth

Sets the modulation depth of the LFO. Set to zero,
there is no modulation and thus no sweeping effect,
the sound will be static. When increasing the modula-
tion depth, the phaser operates on a larger frequency
region, which increases the sweeping effect.

LR Offset

Since the phaser operates in stereo, both channels
have their own LFO. With the offset knob, the rel-
ative phase difference between both channels can be
adjusted from 0 to 180 degrees. Set to zero, both chan-
nels produce an identical sweep. Set to nonzero, both
channels will operate on different frequency regions,
making the effect more spatial.

Dry/Wet

Mixes the dry and processed signal. Since the phasing
effect is achieved by mixing the original and processed
signal, the mix ratio should be typically around 50%.
Lower values can be useful to make the effect more
subtle, however, and higher values can be useful with
strong feedback.
