The CF-101 is a combined chorus and flanger effect. It adds depth and movement to the sound by adding a short modulated delay to the audio signal. The delayed signal is then mixed with the original (either in the effect device, or manually by you - see below). The CF-101 can be used as an insert effect or a send effect.
The following CV inputs are available on the back panel of the device:
Allows you to control the delay time from another device. This may give best results if you turn off the LFO modulation in the device (turn LFO Mod Amount to zero). For example, by controlling the delay parameter from a Matrix, you can create "stepped flanger" effects, in sync with the tempo.
If you use the Delay CV input for "playing" the feedback tone, note that a higher delay value gives a lower pitch.
Lets you control the rate of the modulating LFO from another device.
The CF-101 can be connected using mono or stereo inputs, as shown by the graphs on the back panel. Note the following:
A "moving" stereo effect is only obtained when you use a mono input and stereo outputs.
With a stereo input, the two sides are processed in parallel, maintaining the stereo image of the original sound.
When you are using a mono input and stereo outputs, there will only be a stereo effect if the internal LFO is used.
If you turn LFO Mod Amount to zero, both stereo outputs will carry the same signal (mono). This is because the "fake stereo" effect is produced by inverting the modulation for one of the output channels.
The Send mode is intended for when using the CF-101 as a send effect. In this mode, the device will only output the modulated delay signal - the actual "chorusing" is obtained by mixing this signal with the dry, unprocessed signal in the Mixer.
However, if you activate Send mode while using the device as an insert effect, the result will be a pitch modulated version of the original sound - in short, a vibrato effect. Along with a little feedback, this can be used for special effects.
