Classic Flanger - TC Electronic G-MAJOR 2 User Manual

MODULATION
Flanger – Introduction
The Flanger belongs to the same "family" of
modulation effects as the Chorus effect. The
signal is split, and one of the signals is pitch
modulated.
The characteristic "flanging" sound occurs
when part of the signal is slightly delayed and
fed back to the input of the effect algorithm.
Experiment with the Feedback parameter to get
a feeling for the achievable effects.

Speed
Range: 0.050 Hz to 20 Hz
This parameter sets the speed of the effect.
Depth
Range: 0 to 100 %
The Depth parameter specifies the intensity of
the effect. The value represents the amplitude
of the modulating waveform.
Tempo
Range: Ignore, 1 to 1/32T (T= Triplet & D=
Dotted)
When set to any value between 2 and 1/32T,
the Global Tempo is subdivided according to
this setting. When set to "Ignore", the speed set
using the Speed parameter is used instead.
The Tap Master parameter – located in
the Global menu – specifies whether
the Global tempo or the tempo set by
the Speed parameter in each preset
should be used at preset change.
Hi-Cut
Range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz
This parameter reduces the high-end
frequencies in the Flanger effect. Try using this
parameter if you feel the Flanger effect is too
dominant in your sound and turning down the
Mix or Out level does not dampen the Flanger
effect as needed.
FeedB – FeedBack
Range: -100 to 100
This parameter controls the amount of
feedback (Resonance) of the short modulated
delay that causes the Flanging effect. When the
Feedback is set too high (approximately above
90 % to 95 %), this might introduce internal
42
feedback, resulting in a squealing noise that in
most cases is unwanted in flanging effects. Be
aware of this side-effect when experimenting at
high volumes. Negative values inverse the
phase of the signal that is fed back to the
algorithm's input.
FB Cut – Feedback hi-cut
Range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz
A parameter that can attenuate the high-end
frequencies of the resonance created with the
Feedback parameter.
Mix
Range: 0 to 100 %
This parameter sets the relationship between
the level of the dry signal and the level of the
effect in this block.
OutLev – Out Level
Range: -100 to 0 dB
This parameter sets the overall output level for
this effect.
