Miscellaneous FX

The MISC category provides primarily modulated and pitch-varying effects.

Chorus

Stereo
Chorus creates a lush, full sound by combining two or more signals together where one is unaffected and the other
signals vary in pitch ver+5y slightly over time. Chorus is commonly used to fatten up tracks and to add body to guitars
without coloring the original tone. Chorus can also be used with discretion to thicken a vocal track.

Flanger

Stereo
This effect was originally created by simultaneously recording and playing back two identical programs on two tape re-
corders, then using hand pressure against the flange of the tape reels to slow down first one machine, then the other.
The result was a series of changing phase cancellations and reinforcements, with characteristic swishing, tunneling,
and fading sounds.

Phaser

Stereo
The Phaser automatically moves frequency notches up and down the spectrum of the signal by means of a low fre-
quency oscillator (LFO), creating an oscillating "comb filter" type effect. This effect is very useful on keyboards (espe-
cially pad presets) and guitars.
Tremolo
Stereo (Wet Only)
Tremolo/Pan creates rhythmic changes in signal amplitude. Tremolo is obtained by setting Phase to 0 degrees, and
affects both channels' amplitude simultaneously. If the Phase is set to 180 degrees, an AutoPanner effect is generat-
ed, with the amplitude of one channel being raised whilst that of the other channel is lowered. Speed settings below
1Hz are recommended in this case.
Vibrato
Stereo (Wet Only)
Vibrato is obtained by smoothly varying the pitch of the signal just sharp and flat of the original at a determined rate.
Phase controls whether the pitch of both channels is modulated together, or in an opposite direction.
