Understanding modulation parameters

The parameters for a Phaser, Flanger, or Chorus are somewhat the same, which is why all three effects are sometimes combined into the same unit or plug-in. In this video, I'm going to show you the various modulation controls and explain what they are for. The first parameter that we will talk about is called Speed Control and sometimes it's called Rate like it is here. This control adjusts the speed of the effect. It's usually set in low milliseconds from about 0.5 up to about 25 milliseconds. Have a listen to what it sounds like here as we adjust it. (Music playing) So you can hear when it gets very, very low. In other words, when the effect is closer to zero, we hear less and less of it. While you hear way too much, it just wobbles a whole lot as it gets above 1. The next control is Depth or sometimes it's called Intensity, that adjust how much of the effect that you hear. Let's have a listen. (Music playing) And once again, as you get towards the upper end of the parameter settings…
