Phaser-Flanger

Ableton

Where to get itIncluded with Ableton Live. It is part of that DAW, not a separate download.ableton.com

Phaser-Flanger is a modulation effect that combines phaser, flanger, and doubler modes into a single device. It uses modulated all-pass filters and time-modulated delay lines to create lush, expressive sounds with extensive control via two LFOs, an envelope follower, and a high-pass filter.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Three modes: Phaser, Flanger, and Doubler
02Phaser mode with adjustable Notches, Center frequency, Spread, and Blend parameters
03Flanger mode with Time-modulated delay and feedback
04Doubler mode with bipolar delay modulation
05Main LFO with 10 waveform options including Sine, Triangle, Saw Up, Saw Down, Rectangle, Random, Random S&H, Triangle Analog, Triangle 8, and Triangle 16
06Second LFO with triangular waveform and independent rate control
07LFO Stereo Mode with Phase (0-180°) and Spin modes for independent channel modulation
08Envelope follower with Attack, Release, and Envelope Amount controls
09Safe Bass high-pass filter (5 Hz to 3000 Hz range)
10Duty Cycle control for waveform shaping

Things to Try

  • 01Use Phase mode at 180° to invert the phase relationship between left and right channels for stereo width effects
  • 02Enable the envelope follower and set Envelope Amount to a positive or negative value to modulate the effect based on incoming audio amplitude
  • 03Use Duty Cycle to compress the LFO waveform period toward either the front (100%) or back (-100%) for rhythmic modulation variations
  • 04Increase Feedback in Flanger or Doubler mode to create strong comb filtering effects that amplify or attenuate specific frequencies
  • 05Set LFO2 Mix to blend between the main LFO and second LFO for complex, evolving modulation patterns

Antresol

D16 Group

Antresol is a flanger effect plugin based on an authorial emulation of a discrete time delay line (BBD – Bucket Brigade Device) with ultra-low aliasing, inspired by classic hardware from the Mistress series. It features stereo processing with independent delay lines per channel, LFO-driven modulation with tempo sync, and dual mixing modes (manual and automatic Mistress emulation) to achieve both classic and contemporary flanger textures.
