Fruity flanger

Fruity flanger is a FruityLoops-exclusive VST plugin developed by Smart Electron:x.

Parameters

Delay
Sets the minimal delay of the delay-line inside the flanger. The flanger delay will be swept between delay and delay + depth.

Range: 0 to 20 milliseconds. For 'deep' flangers you should set this to low values...

Depth
This controls the range of the flanger action.
The flanger delay will be swept between delay and delay + depth.
If you set this value to zero, the flanger will remain 'static' as the delay will stay constant.

Range: 0 to 20 milliseconds. Setting this to high values will create special effects and heavy modulation.

Rate
The rate at which the flanger is modulated.

Range: 0 to 5 Hz.

Phase
Use this control to widen the stereo image.
If it's set to 0, the LFO on the left and right channel will be in perfect sync.
At 180 degrees the left and righ channel will be completely 'out of phase'. This means that the left channel will reach it's 'maximum' when the right channel is at minimum. Trying it out yourself will make it much more clear ;)

Range: 0 to 360 degrees. Try setting it to 10 degrees for subtle stereo enhancement.

Damp
Use this to attenuate the high frequencies of the wet output.

Range: 0 to 1. 0 = no filtering, 1 = full filtering (no output)

Shape
Determines the shape of the LFO.
You can vary this between a triangle and a sine LFO. Using sine LFO's will result in smoother transitions, using a triangle will result in more constant pitch-shifting. While subtle, this can help for getting the right sound.

Range: smooth transition between sin to tri

Feed
Sets the feedback.

Range: 0 to 100 %. Setting this to high values will make the flanger 'whistle'... Try high settigns with heavy filtering (for example 99% feedback + the filter at 0.95) for special effects.

Invert Feedback / Invert Wet
These two switches invert the wet and feedback signal. Mixing a signal with an inverted version of itself creates the known flanger effect. When both are off the sound is more like a chorus than a flanger. While Invert Wet will directly change the flanger/chorus sound, the Invert Feedback has a less dramatic effect, but can be used to change the sound-timbre.

Range: on and off

Dry / Wet / Cross
These three knobs determine the output mixture. Dry is the original signal, wet is the effected signal and cross is a left-right inverted version of the wet signal.

Range: -inf (silent) to 0dB
