The Modulation Delay is based on the same principles as the Flanger and Chorus effects, but you can set the delay time, allowing both chorus and flanging effects to be generated. It can also be used without modulation to create resonator or doubling effects. The modulation section consists of two LFOs with variable frequencies.
Although rich, combined flanging and chorus effects are possible, the Modulation Delay is capable of producing some extreme modulation effects. These include emulations of tape speed fluctuations and metallic, robot-like modulations of incoming signals.
In surround instances, the center channel is assigned the middle value of the left and right LFO Rate knobs. The other channels are assigned values between the left and right LFO rates.
Note: The right LFO Rate knob is available only in stereo and surround instances, and it can be set separately only if the Left Right Link button is not enabled.
At 0°, the extreme values of the modulation are achieved simultaneously for all channels.
180° or −180° is equal to the greatest possible distance between the modulation phases of the channels.
Note: The LFO Phase parameter is available only if the LFO Left Right Link button is active.
Note: When you load a setting that uses the “random” option, the saved phase offset value is recalled. If you want to randomize the phase setting again, choose “new random” from the Distribution pop-up menu.
