IMPORTANT!
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN
FOR YOUR PROTECTION, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
WATER AND MOISTURE: Appliance should not be used near water (e. g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc). Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings. POWER SOURCES: The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance. [. . . ] These settings determine the rate and intensity of the modulation effect.

In general, here's how choruses and flangers work: after entering the Module, the source signal is split into two paths. One is allowed to pass through the Module unaltered, while the other is delayed and pitch modulated. The modified sound is then sent to the output, along with the original. 3-3 below, a sine wave is used to modulate the pitch of the split sound source.

Figure 3-3 Modulation Example The Dual Chorus creates two different pitch "voices", while the Octal Chorus creates eight voices for extremely full, rich sounds. The only difference between choruses and flangers is that flangers use less delay and have a feedback Parameter that sends a portion of the effected signal back to the input of the Module. When the effected signal reaches the input, it is sent through the Module again, building thickness and depth. If you increase the feedback enough, the source begins to lose its own original pitch to the dramatic pitch modulation of the feedback loop. L F O W a v e f o r m s : There are four LFO waveforms available for Choruses, Flangers, Phasers, Tremolos, Auto Panners, and five for Modifier LFOs. They include SINe, TRIangle, SPecial-1, SPecial-2, and SPecial3. See figure 3-4 for examples of what these waveforms look like.

DESCRIPTION Controls the signal input level fed to the Module. Controls the level of the dry (uneffected) signal. Ranges from OFF to 100%.
Flangers
St
D
Controls the left/right positioning of the dry signal in the stereo soundfield. Varies from -99 (all left) to 99 (all right). Controls the Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) speed of the flanger. Range of this control is from 0. 06 to 16 Hz. Adjusts the intensity of the flange effect. High settings of DEPTH combined with high settings of FDBCK produce dramatic, synth-like results. Controls how much of the flanged signal is fed back to the input of the Module. The FDBACK Parameter is what gives flangers their distinctive voice. Flangers are capable of both positive and negative feedback loops, so experiment to find the sound you like best. Options for this control include sine, triangle, SP1 (Special 1), and SP2 (Special 2). [. . . ] Please note maximum delay times vary depending on the module Type being used. Please refer back to pg. 15 for more information concerning Module types.
