Phaser and Modulation FX

The phaser effect and the modulation effects share the same window section. To show the settings for one of these effects, click the corresponding label at the top of the section.

Phaser

Rate: Specifies the frequency of the phase modulation.
Sync: Allows you to set the Rate value in fractions of beats.
Depth: Sets the intensity of the phase modulation.
Shift: Shifts the phase modulation upwards to higher frequencies of the spectrum.
Phase: Widens the sound image of the effect from mono to stereo.
Feedback: Adds resonances to the effect. Higher settings produce a more pronounced effect.
Low Cut: Attenuates the low frequencies.
High Cut: Attenuates the high frequencies.
Mix: Sets the ratio between the dry and the wet signal.

Modulation Effects

On the Type pop-up menu, you can specify which modulation effect to use: Chorus, Flanger, or Ensemble.

For Flanger and Chorus, the following parameters are available:

Rate: Specifies the frequency of the pitch modulation in Hertz.
Sync: Allows you to set the Rate value in fractions of beats.
Depth: Sets the intensity of the pitch modulation.
Phase: Widens the sound image of the effect from mono to stereo.
Feedback: Adds resonances to the effect.
Mix: Sets the ratio between the dry and the wet signal.

For Ensemble, the following parameters are available:

Rate: Sets the frequency of the LFO.
Sync: Allows you to set the Rate value in fractions of beats.
Depth: Sets the intensity of the delay time modulation by the LFO.
Shimmer: Sets the intensity of a secondary faster delay time modulation.
Shimmer Rate: Determines the relation between the speed of the primary and the secondary delay modulation. For example, at a value of 10, the secondary modulation is 10 times faster.
