11 Vintage Flanger 325

Flanger (Vintage flanger)

1.

Feedback

Value: 0–100

Sets the intensity of the flanger’s effect. It is disabled
in Chorus mode.

As this faithfully reproduces the action of the
SBF-325, setting the value too high may result in
oscillation. Take care to prevent sounds from
extreme oscillation from damaging your ears or
your equipment. To stop oscillation sounds
immediately, press [F4 (FX ON/OFF)].
2.
Manual
Value: 0–100
Sets the center frequency for the effect. This changes
the pitch of the flanger’s metallic sound.
3.
Rate
Value: 0–100
Sets the rate of the swelling of the flanger sound. In
Tempo Sync this is disabled, and you can not make
the settings.
4.
Depth
Value: 0–100
Sets the depth of the swelling of the flanger sound.
5.
Tempo Sync
Value: OFF, , , , , , , , , , , , ,
x1 – x4
Set this when synchronizing the Rate setting to the
song tempo. When not synchronizing, set this “OFF.”
When you select the note, the Rate setting is disabled,
and the Rate is set the note length corresponding to
the song tempo.

If the length of the note is set longer (or shorter)
than that of the possible range of the Rate settings
by the change of song tempo, the Rate can not
correspond to the note length. If “?” appears before
the note symbol you set, it is because the upper (or
lower) limit of the setting range has been exceeded,
and that the synchronization is not correct.
Furthermore, the precision of the Rate setting and
song tempo differ. If left to develop over long
periods, the two may gradually drift apart.
6.
ChB Mode (Channel B Modulation Phase)
Value: NonInv, Inv
This is usually set to “Normal” (NonInv). Setting this
to “Invert” (Inv) inverts the phase of the modulation
(rise and fall) in the right channel. You can get the
modulation effect in the left and right channels being
opposite from each other.
7.
Effect Mode
Value: Flanger1, Flanger2, Flanger3, Chorus
Sets the effect type. Try out each mode and select the
most suitable one.
8.
Phase ChA (Channel A Phase)/ChB (Channel B Phase)
Value: NonInv Inv
Sets the phase of the left and right channels when the
source sound is mixed with the flanging sound.
“Normal” (NonInv) corresponds to positive phase
(+), “Invert” (Inv) to inverted, or negative phase (-).
This changes the breadth of the sound. Check the
sound with the effect, and select the most appropriate
setting.

This algorithm faithfully reproduces the sound of
the SBF-325, provides numerous variations on the
effects, and creates the powerful sounds with the
characteristic of analog flanger. The SBF-325 analog
flanger, released in 1979, was produced for about
five years. Even now, it is prized by musicians,
including those in the dance music scene, but is one
of machines those are becoming harder to get a hold
of.
