Re: Flanging effects

2004-04-04 by steve_the_composer

I tested a square wave on a P2K synth engine E-Mu [XL-1].  Sure 
enough, when I got rid of any chorus/flange/other possible causes of 
auditory shift [effects processor, filter, chorus, patchcords, etc.] 
and doubled the layer, successive key presses demonstrated harmonic 
variation in the note played.  It sounds like there is some phase 
shift between the two lawyers at the instant each layer is turned 
on.  If there was any drift between the two layers once the note 
sounded, my ears couldn't hear it.

Maybe that's why E-Mu synth sounds are so phatt!

I am not sure if that's what you meant by flanging effect or not.

Hope this helps.
