UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 343 - Chapter 32: MXR Flanger/Doubler
Software-Only
Features
The UAD MXR Flanger/Doubler plug-in has some features not included in the
original hardware. The LFO rate can be synchronized to the tempo of the
DAW session; the LFO can be reset; Stereo mode can apply processing to
both sides of a stereo signal; and stereo output can be summed to mono.
Stereo
Functionality
The original hardware is monophonic. To accommodate modern applica-
tions, the plug-in can be used in mono-in/stereo-out and stereo-in/stereo-out
configurations. Two different stereo modes are available, and the stereo out-
put can be summed to mono if desired. See
“Stereo Mode” on page 344 for
details.
In Use The MXR Flanger/Doubler is well suited for sound-shaping, recording, and
mixing, and even for adding some post-production flavor. Flanging is partic-
ularly popular as an individual effect on a wide range of musical sources —
including guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, full source material, and more. An-
other common use for the MXR Flanger/Doubler is as a group effect, where
effecting more than one signal is desired. Try applying the MXR Flanger/Dou-
bler to drum busses or even the entire mix, most often for a brief period in the
song, such as a break or bridge. In addition to Flanging, the Flanger/Doubler
excels as a short-range delay/doubler.
MXR Flanger/Doubler Controls
Buttons The buttons on MXR Flanger/Doubler are two-state switches.
The buttons are ON when they are in the “DOWN” position.
When ON/DOWN, they are gray with a darker “shadow.”
When OFF/UP, they are white.
Power Power is the plug-in bypass control. Power is ON when the LED is
red. When set to OFF, emulation processing is disabled, the LEDs
are dimmed, and DSP usage is reduced (if DSP LoadLock is inac-
tive; see
“UAD-2 DSP LoadLock” on page 74 for details).
Power is useful for comparing the processed settings to the original signal.
Effect This button switches between Flanger and Doubler modes. It de-
fines the range of signal delay available for the mode. The func-
tion of all the other controls is the same in both modes.
See “Modes” on page 342 for additional details about the two effects.
