EFFECTS EDIT
PHASING
FLANGING
CHORUS
NOTE: Many chorus units you can buy as pedals or rack mount processors use a single
delay line modulated by an LFO. This can sometimes produce a very 'cyclic', repetitive
sound. The S3000XL's chorus, however, actually uses four delay lines each modulated at
different phase angles of the LFO's output to produce a very broad stereo effect with little
or no 'cyclicness'.
Furthermore, the outputs of these delays are spread across the stereo image to give a
wide, expansive (expensive?) chorus sound.
The parameters for these effects are:

This gives a 'swooshing' effect. It uses a very short delay time which is
modulated by an LFO.
This also gives a 'swooshing' effect but, because it uses a slightly longer
basic delay time, the effects are more pronounced and more 'metallic'.
This produces an effect similar to several instruments playing at the same
time. It is good for 'beefing up' many different sounds and giving the
impression of an ensemble effect. CHORUS is an excellent 'all rounder' on
most synth sounds (bass, pads, string synths, brass), electric piano
sounds, guitar, etc..
Audio in
This sets the speed of the phasing, flanging or chorus effect.
This sets the depth of the phasing, flanging or chorus effect. For flanging,
high depth settings can work well but for chorus effects, you may find
lower depth settings more appropriate. To create classic phasing effects,
low depth settings are appropriate.
This sets the amount of signal that will be fed from the output of the effect
back into its input. This has the effect of sharpening or accentuating the
effect. This parameter may be inverted and negative settings have the
effect of heightening the effect even further.
