Modulate

About Modulate

Modulate is a modulation tool which offers a flanger and a phaser effect.

The flanging effect occurs when two sources playing exactly the same recording with a short time delay are mixed together. The result is that some frequencies are canceled, while others are amplified. Changing the time delay between the two sources will result in other frequencies being canceled or amplified (the name comes from years ago when studio engineers using open-reel tape would manually turn or hold one reel or "flange" to create this effect, distorting the tape speed past the playback heads).

The phaser effect uses several notch filters with a time-varying center frequency to create a sweeping or electronic "whooshing" effect.

User Interface

Parameter Settings

• Dry Level (dB)

Use the dry level slider to adjust the amount of unprocessed signal in the output mix.

• Effect Level (dB)

Use the effect level slider to adjust the amount of processed signal in the output mix.

• Effect type

You can select the modulator mode by selecting Flanger or Phaser from the list.

• Modulation shape

The delay (in the flanger mode) or the notch center frequency (in phaser mode) can be modulated by one of four different modulation sources. To change the modulation source, select sinusoidal, triangular, or random from the list.

• Modulation depth (ms)

Use the modulation depth knob to set the depth or amount of the modulation.

• Modulation frequency (Hz)

The modulation frequency knob allows you to set the frequency or the speed of the modulation function. A higher modulation frequency will result in faster changes in the tone quality.

• Delay (ms)

You can add an additional fixed delay to the effect by adjusting the delay slider.
