Flanger (BPM)
The BPM Flanger is similar to the previously described Flanger except that the delay
time can be synchronized to the master (MIDI) clock in various note divisions. This
feature makes it easy to synchronize sweeping flange effects to the beat of your song. In
addition, the LFO sweep can be manually synchronized, using a continuous controller
or switch in the Preset Cords, so that the top of the triangle waveform starts on a certain
beat.
As the low frequency oscillator (LFO) varies the delay time, a rich, sweeping effect is
created as the cancellation notches move up and down across the frequency range. The
amount of feedback deepens the notches, intensifying the effect.
You can invert the feedback signal by choosing a negative feedback value. Inverting the
feedback signal creates peaks in the notch filter and deepens the effect.
Parameter Description
Initial Delay Sets the initial delay of the flanger in .01 millisecond increments.
This parameter allows you to “tune” the flanger to a specific
frequency range. Range: .01ms to 4ms
Depth Sets how much the LFO affects the delay time. Increases the
animation and amount of the flanging effect. Range: .006 to 100%

Feedback
The speed of the LFO is locked to a note division of the master
tempo. Range: 4/1 note to 1/64 dotted-note
Feedback Controls how much signal is recirculated through the delay line and
increases resonance. Negative values can produce intense flanging
with some signals. Range: -99% to +99%
Through Zero On - Adds a short delay to the original signal to simulate the classic
“through-zero” flanger sound, which was originally created using
two tape recorders.
On (out of phase) - Inverts the phase (180°) and adds a delay to
the original signal producing additional phase cancellation.
If the feedback control is set to zero, complete cancellation occurs
when the flanger goes through zero.
Sync (LFO Phase) Re-syncs the LFO (to the peak of the triangle wave) whenever this
button is pressed or whenever the sync modulation input goes from
zero to a positive value.

Effects Descriptions
In order to hear a
rich flanging effect, the
original signal must be
mixed in with the flanged
signal. This can be
accomplished using the
Wet/Dry Mix control or
with the Main Send
(when using Aux effects).
