Audio Damage Liquid - Manual (Page 9)

Operation
Liquid can be used in a mono, stereo, or mono-to-stereo context. In a stereo context, no summing of the
input channels happens and the left and right channels are processed independently. Liquid should usually be
used as an insert effect, since its operation depends upon its internal mixing of the unprocessed and
processed signals.
Here is a screenshot of Liquid, followed by detailed descriptions of its controls. Flanging is certainly a “turn the
knobs until it sounds good” effect, so feel free to experiment first and return to this manual when you’d like a
little more insight into how Liquid operates.
1. Manual
The MANUAL knob sets the relative delay time between the two delays in Liquid. If set at the center “12
o’clock” position, both delays are set to the same time and there will be little audible effect on the signal. As
you rotate the knob away from this position, one delay’s time is increased while the other is decreased. The
MANUAL knob is useful for creating fixed comb-filtering effects or for adding an offset to Liquid’s modulation
oscillator (described below). It’s also a great target for controlling with your host sequencer’s automation
features; you can create dramatic flanging sweeps that peak in conjunction with musical climaxes.
