Select the destination track, open Plugins, and choose Add Effect. Find this device in Library → Effects. Effects process the signal from the devices before them in the chain.
Controls
| Control | What to listen or look for |
|---|---|
| Rate | Sets how fast the modulation cycle repeats. |
| Sync | Locks timing to the project tempo instead of a free-running time or rate. |
| Synced Rate | Chooses a musical note division for tempo-synchronized timing. |
| Depth | Sets how far the modulation moves its target. |
| Delay | Sets the delay time before the processed signal is heard. |
| Feedback | Feeds some processed sound back into the effect, increasing repeats or resonance. |
| Width | Adjusts the difference between the left and right channels to change stereo width. |
| Mix | Blends the original signal with the processed signal; 100% gives only the processed sound. |
| Thru Zero | Allows the modulated delay to cross the dry signal's timing for through-zero flanging. |
| Output | Sets the level of the processed sound only; the original keeps its own level, so this does nothing at Mix 0% and trims just the effect at other Mix settings. |
| Tone | Adjusts the brightness of the processed sound. |
| Shape | Chooses the waveform of the repeating modulation. |
Work with this device
Start with a short passage that represents your material. Change one control at a time. Compare at a similar listening level, using the device's power control to bypass it. Save a version of the project before making a large change.
