Flange Mayhem

March 29th, 2007 3 Comments

It’s a random stereo flanging VST effect. The randomization is tempo-synced: delay and feedback parameters are selected independently for the left and right channels at intervals ranging from 1/64 of a beat to four bars.

It started life as a subtle meandering chorus effect, mainly for making mono tracks a bit more interesting. Here’s an example using a rhodes sample, first dry then effected:

I added a limiter because it can get fairly loud with high feedback settings. Here’s a little arpeggio pushing the limiter pretty hard:

Here’s an example of Flange Mayhem doing weird things to a drum loop:
