EFFECTS EDIT
Page 184 CD3000XL OperatorÕs Manual
These effects are chosen in the field and are as follows:
PHASING This gives a ‘swooshing’ effect. It uses a very short delay time which is
modulated by an LFO.
FLANGING This also gives a ‘swooshing’ effect but, because it uses a slightly longer basic
delay time, the effects are more pronounced and more ‘metallic’.
CHORUS This produces an effect similar to several instruments playing at the same time.
It is good for ‘beefing up’ many different sounds and giving the impression of
an ensemble effect. CHORUS is an excellent ‘all rounder’ on most synth
sounds (bass, pads, string synths, brass), electric piano sounds, guitar, etc..
NOTE: Many chorus units you can buy as pedals or rack mount processors use a single delay
line modulated by an LFO. This can sometimes produce a very ‘cyclic’, repetitive sound. To
overcome this, some chorus units use two delay lines or two LFOs. The CD3000XL’s chorus,
however, actually uses four delay lines each modulated at different phase angles of the LFO’s
output to produce a very broad stereo effect with little or no ‘cyclicness’.

Furthermore, the outputs of these delays are spread across the stereo image to give a wide,
expansive (expensive?) chorus sound.
The parameters for these effects are:
This sets the speed of the phasing, flanging or chorus effect.
This sets the depth of the phasing, flanging or chorus effect. For flanging,
high depth settings can work well but for chorus effects, you may find lower
depth settings more appropriate. To create classic phasing effects, low depth
settings are appropriate.
This sets the amount of signal that will be fed from the output of the effect back
into its input. This has the effect of sharpening or accentuating the effect. This
parameter may be inverted and negative settings have the effect of
heightening the effect even further.
