Slider Strip It gives you a 20 kHz top to 5 Hz bottom sweep range Like the Auto Filter this filter offers resonance via the PARAM button and WET DRY adjustment Hi Pass The High Pass Filter rolls off frequencies lower than the point indicated in the LCD screen So if the value in the LCD is 2 75 kHz then only frequencies above that are being heard PARAM offers resonance and WET DRY handles effect mixing Low Pass This works the same way as the Hi Pass filter does but instead only allows frequencies below the indicated frequency to be heard The PARAM and WET DRY controls work the same as the other Manual Filter effects 11 Phaser Flanger 4 3 2 Phaser Flanger PHASER FLANGE Phaser Figure 4 9 PHASER FLANGE Figure 4 9 Flange Figure 4 10 VS X PHASER A FLANGE Y K FLANGE f Figure 4 10 4 3 3 Echo Strobe ECHO STROBE Echo Figure 4 11 ECHO STROBE Figure 4 11 Strobe Figure 4 12 ECHO 4 UNE amp OE 4 Figure 4 12 The Phaser is a sweeping notch filter that moves in time with the BPM You are able to select the Sweep lengths from 16 beats to 1 beat via the FXGlide buttons The PARAM button adds resonance to the filter and the WET DRY button controls the amount of effect mix The Flanger gets its sound by doubling the audio and delaying one copy slightly You can also hear this effect manually by playing 2 copies of the same record at the same speed It isa more prono
