Eventide'sThe Clockworks series is on sale.
Today I picked up the Instant Flanger Mk II among them.
Clockworks seriesis a series that faithfully reproduces the actual machine as a plug-in.
Sound demo
I put it on the electric piano and changed the preset.
First, the effect is changed from OFF to ON and the preset is changed.
I put it on a synth.
Flanger works well with sounds that contain many overtones.
An interesting feature of the Instant Flanger Mk II is MODE.
This replicates the hardware output.
This "MODE" has three modes.
・Deep
・Wide
Manual explanation.
• Shallow means that all plug-in outputs correspond to the hardware unit's aux outputs.
• Deep means that all plug-in outputs correspond to the hardware unit's Main output.
• In Wide mode, the Main output is routed to the left channel and the Aux output to the right channel.Because the delay lengths are different and the Main and Aux are out of phase, Wide mode sounds like panning the signal left or right, depending on the Depth knob setting.
The difference between the Main output and the Aux output is that the Main output has twice the delay time.
The manual says:
The Eventide Clockworks Instant Flanger had two unique outputs, Main and Aux. The Main output used two bucket brigade in series and the Aux output used only one bucket brigade.In other words, the delay time of the Main output is approximately twice that of the Aux output.
As for the sound, "Shallow" has a shorter delay time, so it feels a little tighter and has a higher pitch.
“Deep” is a slightly short delay, and it feels like a high-feedback sound, giving you a sense of space.
"Wide" is heard spread to the left and right due to phase shift.
I tried ringing each one.
(In order to make it easier to change the effect, the effect is applied strongly)
First, Shallow (Main), then Deep (Aux), Wide (Left Main, Right Aux).

Overview
If you play the guitar, you can listen to the sound when you hang it on the guitar in this video.
Classic flanging for modern mixes
The Instant Flanger Mk II brings the great sound of vintage tape flanging to your plug-in toolbox. A faithful recreation of the original studio rack mount from 1975, the Instant Flanger is famous for being used on David Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes" and Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time."Engineers and producers use it for stereo sweetening, subtle modulation, double tracking, extreme flanging effects, and more, and it's a truly versatile tool.Diffuse sound with pseudo-stereo
Turn a flat mono guitar into a giant stereo lead, or fill a single-channel synthesizer with pseudo-stereo to fill the sides of your mix. Instant Flanger Mk II is equipped with dual outputs that create three different sound images: "Shallow", "Deep" and "Wide". Combining the Wide mode with the Low Cut control makes it easy to place multiple harmonies behind a lead. You can use the “Depth” and “Feedback” controls to fine-tune the resonance of the flanging effect.
True end-to-end emulation
Since the tape machine runs at a constant speed with a servo motor, if the engineer presses the flange with his thumb and then suddenly releases it, the servo of the capstan motor reacts and overshoots or undershoots. , trying to regain proper speed.In other words, it "bounds". The Instant Flanger convincingly mimics this behavior with its innovative 'bounce' control knob.Use this feature to add realistic grooves to your tracks.
Features
Depth controls the strength of the effect. 100% adds the delayed signal to the dry signal. -100% subtracts the dry signal from the delayed signal.
Achieves 3 different flavors of flanging.Can be set to shallow, deep, or wide with the mode switch
Manual control allows you to control the "comb" effect by turning the big knob
Oscillator drives flanging at a user-defined rate
Envelope follower drives flanging according to signal amplitude
Remote with flanging controls mapped to mod wheels for tactile control
It mimics the hunting phenomenon of the capstan motor of a tape machine when the thumb is released from the flange of the tape reel.
“The sidechain feature allows the envelope follower to be triggered from any source in the mix for mixing between tracks.
Freely manipulate oscillators with sync and retrig
The Low Cut control lets you adjust the strength by removing low frequencies from the flanged signal
Since 1975, a distinction has been made between flanging and facing.Instant Flanger Ad 1975 tape flanging was originally a method of playing a track on two tape machines and applying thumb pressure to the "tape flange" to slow one machine down slightly.In the tape era, before electronic effects, the terms "phasing" and "flanging" were used interchangeably.In 2, Eventide released the "Instant Phaser," which used an analog filter instead of a delay.
The 1975 release of the Instant Flanger's hardware manual states, "Older model facing units used analog circuitry to alter the frequency spectrum. Eventide's Instant Flanger is a true time-delay circuit. and produces more nulls, so you can get much deeper effects than was previously available with all-electronic units.”
