• Feedback slider and field: Determines the amount of the effect signal that is routed back
into the input of the effect.
Phaser Sweep Section
• Ceiling and Floor slider and fields: Use the individual slider handles to determine the
frequency range affected by the LFO modulations.
• Order slider and field: Allows you to choose between different phaser algorithms. The
more orders a phaser has, the heavier the effect.
The 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 settings put five different phaser algorithms at your fingertips.
All are modeled on analog circuits, with each designed for a specific application.
You are free to select odd-numbered settings (5, 7, 9, 11), which, strictly speaking, don’t
generate actual phasing. The more subtle comb filtering effects produced by
odd-numbered settings can, however, come in handy on occasion.
• Env Follow slider and field: Determines the impact of incoming signal levels on the
frequency range (as set with the Ceiling and Floor controls).
Phaser LFO Section
• LFO 1 and LFO 2 Rate knobs and fields: Set the speed for each LFO.
• LFO Mix slider and fields: Determines the balance between the two LFOs.
• Env Follow slider and field: Determines the impact of incoming signal levels on the speed
of LFO 1.
• Phase knob and field: Controls the phase relationship between the individual channel
modulations.
At 0°, the extreme values of the modulation are achieved simultaneously for all channels.
180° or –180° is equal to the greatest possible distance between the modulation phases
of the channels.
• Distribution pop-up menu: Available only in surround instances. Defines how the phase
offsets between the individual channels are distributed in the surround field. You can
choose from “circular,” “left->right,” “front->rear,” “random,” and “new random”
distributions.
Note: When you load a setting that uses the “random” option, the saved phase offset
value is recalled. If you want to randomize the phase setting again, choose “new random”
from the Distribution pop-up menu.
Phaser Output Section
• Output Mix slider and field: Determines the balance of dry and wet signals. Negative
values result in a phase-inverted mix of the effect and direct (dry) signal.
• Warmth button: Enables a distortion circuit, suitable for warm overdrive effects.
