Instant Flanger Mk II

Eventide

Where to get itAvailable from Eventideeventideaudio.com

Instant Flanger Mk II is a faithful digital recreation of the original Eventide Clockworks Instant Flanger, a tape-flanging emulator released in 1976. Unlike standard flangers controlled solely by LFO, it offers four independent modulation sources (Manual, Oscillator, Envelope Follower, and Remote/MIDI) that can be mixed together, plus a Depth control that works as a true mix parameter—controlling null depth rather than wet/dry balance. The plugin captures the characteristic sound of bucket-brigade delay-line flanging with switchable output modes (Shallow, Deep, or Wide stereo) that alter delay times and phase relationships.

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

Key Features

01Four sumable modulation sources: Manual knob, LFO Oscillator, Envelope Follower, and MIDI Remote
02Depth knob controls null depth; ranges from −100% (inverted dry signal) to 0% (wet only) to 100% (dry + wet)
03Switchable output modes: Shallow (Aux), Deep (Main), and Wide (Main to left, Aux to right) for stereo panning effect
04Bounce control mimics tape reel servo dynamics at loop turnarounds
05Feedback control with phase-inversion switch for creative resonance shaping
06LFO sync to session tempo (16 bars to 64th note) with manual retrigger
07Envelope follower with adjustable threshold (−30 to 0 dB) and release time (10 ms to 10 seconds)
08High-pass filter (Low Cut) and side-chain input for envelope control

Things to Try

  • 01Use Depth at −100% to invert the dry signal and create phase-cancellation nulls that sound distinctly different from positive Depth settings
  • 02Set the LFO to sync with the session tempo and choose subdivisions like dotted-eighth notes to lock flanging movement to the song's rhythm
  • 03Combine Oscillator and Envelope Follower switches simultaneously to let both the LFO and input level modulate the flanging at the same time
  • 04Switch Mode to Wide and sweep the Manual knob to hear the signal pan left and right across the stereo field while varying the delay times
