Modulation Effects; Chorus, Phase Shift And Flanging Effects - Akai s2000 Owner's Manual

MODULATION EFFECTS

The next group of pages deal with the modulation effects. These include effects such as
chorus, flanging and phase shifting. Also in this section are pitch shift, rotary speaker
emulation effects and autopanning. The first page you encounter is the MOD FUNCTION
select page:
Here, you can select between the following options:
PHA/FLA/CHOR
ROTARY SPKRS
FMOD/AUTOPAN
PITCH SHIFT
PITCH + FBK

CHORUS, PHASE SHIFT AND FLANGING EFFECTS

If you select PHA/FLA/CHOR, the next screen will be as follows:
In this page, you can select PHASE, FLANGE or CHORUS. All these effects are produced by
setting a short delay time (in the order of milliseconds) and modulating them with a low
frequency oscillator. All these effects are stereo. In the PHASE and FLANGE effects, each
side of the stereo image is modulated in anti-phase (i.e. one channel's control signal is fed via
an inverter so that as one channel goes up, the other goes down) to give great depth and
stereo width to a sound (the CHORUS effect is more complex and is described in detail on the
next page).
These effects are:

FLANGE

This selects that the modulation effects are phasing, flanging or
chorus.
This selects that this section of the effects will create rotary speaker
emulations.
This selects that this section of the effects will give autopanning and
frequency modulation effects.
This selects that this section of the effects are for creating pitch shift
and detune effects.
Audio in
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'.
