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 the
Normal or TZF (Through Zero Flange) mode
Two Flanger modes are available. To select the Flanger, press the EFFECT button repeatedly. The LED will turn red, indicating Normal mode. Press the EFFECT button once more, and the LED will turn green, indicating TZF mode. The TZF mode emulates the original way of creating a flange effect, with two identical pieces of audio material being played back simultaneously on two tape decks and then being mixed on a third deck. The flanging effect was achieved by slowing down and speeding up the two decks at different times. An essential part of the special effect created this way is the unique phase cancellation occurring when the two signals pass each other in time (the zero point). A conventional Flanger pedal/ algorithm tries to emulate this effect, but because the two signals will never cross each other in time, until now, phase cancellation wasn’t possible.
But with the NOVA Modulator’s TZF mode, it is.
