1 1.1 About This Product Eventide is proud to introduce to you the Instant Flanger Mk II plug-in. This updated version of the Instant Flanger plug-in is a more faithful recreation of the original Even- tide Clockworks Instant Flanger both in appearance and sound. The original Eventide Clockworks Instant Flanger was among the world’s first commercially-available profes-...
There are several unique features and inter- esting options presented in the Instant Flanger Mk II and a cursory glance will illuminate any features you may overlook. We’ll try to keep it all relevant and highlight any tips or cool tricks for you.
2.3 Not Just Another Flanger The Eventide Clockworks Instant Flanger, and therefore the plug-in, has some features that make it unique when compared to other flangers. These will be described in detail below, with a full control description in the following section.
Hence you are controlling the depth of the nulls! Stereorizer The Eventide Clockworks Instant Flanger had two outputs: Main and Aux. Main is the output of two bucket brigade devices in series, while Aux is the output from a single bucket brigade device.
Mod Sources Unlike most flangers, which are solely controlled by an LFO, the Instant Flanger gives you access to 4 different modulation sources. They are: • Manual: The big knob in the center, to control the flanging manually. • Oscillator: The classic LFO-controlled flanging, with a variable rate. •...
2.5 Main Panel Line Bypasses the plug-in. When engaged, the signal is passed through the plug-in; when off, the plug-in is bypassed. Bounce Mimics the effect of the tape reel servo motors bouncing when you release them. At 0% there’s no bounce, at 100% there is maximum bounce.
Threshold Controls the threshold of the envelope follower, between 30 dB and 0 dB. An input signal will cause the biggest phase shift when it reaches the threshold level. Release Sets the release time of the envelope follower. Release times can vary from 10 milliseconds to 10 seconds.
2.6 Expansion Panel Input Sets the input gain of the plug-in, between 60 dB and 12 dB. Sync Synchronizes the LFO to the tempo of the current session, in metric subdivisions ranging from 16 bars to a 64th note. Retrig Re-triggers the LFO, making it jump to its starting value.
2.7 Preset Bar Located at the top of the Instant Flanger Mk II Plug-In, the Preset Bar lets you load and save presets, along with several other features. When Instant Flanger Mk II is installed, a library of settings is placed into the <user>/Mu- sic/Eventide/Instant Flanger Mk II/Presets folder (Mac) or the <user>/Documents/Even-...

Wide mode routes the Main output to the left channel and the Aux output to the right channel. Because of the different delay lengths and the fact that Main and Aux are out of phase with each other, Wide mode will sound like it is panning the signal to the left or right, depending on how the Depth knob is set.
Conclusion part 3 We hope you enjoy the Instant Flanger Mk II plug-in and put it to good use in all of your mixes. Please be sure to check over Eventide’s other Native Plug-In offerings for more unique and interesting effects.
