This is an AUv3 compatible stereo Analog Flanger plugin which can be used as a plugin with your favourite DAW such as Cubasis, Auria, Meteor or GarageBand. The Flanger is a modulation effect capable of creating a range of subtle chorus to extreme flanging effects. Flanging is an audio effect produced by mixing two identical signals together, one signal delayed by a small and gradually changing period. This produces a sweeping comb filter effect with peaks and notches in the resulting frequency spectrum. The feedback control produces a resonance effect which further enhances the intensity of these peaks and troughs. This is one of a suite of AUv3 compatible plugins which will also be available from 4Pockets
