Through-Zero Flanger

Dipole is a through-zero flanger. It employs two delay lines with dual-mode feedback, and one of the delays is able to run earlier or later in time in relation to another.

As this time difference passes through the zero point, a very special sound transition occurs: with positive feedback, Dipole produces that coveted spectral “swoosh” effect of a jet plane fly-by – and with negative feedback, the output signal warps and eventually cancels itself out.

In the old days of audio production, such effects were created manually using two parallel tape machines – but now Dipole recreates that charismatic flanging, chorusing and psychedelic stereo widening with much higher fidelity and ease of use.

The plugin offers both manual control of the zero-point as well as modulation via its built-in multi-waveform generator.

Sound Engine:

• Flanger engine with through-zero time capability and positive/negative feedback
• Modulation generator with four different waveforms and variable stereo phase offset
• Low-cut filter and feedback self-levelling to ensure stable operation even at the most extreme settings
• Lag filters on all continuous parameters for smooth, click-free adjustment
• Supports mono › mono, mono › stereo, and stereo › stereo channel configurations
• Optional modulation generator host tempo and transport sync

Graphic Interface:

• Color-coded graphic elements
• Consistent name, mapping, value, and unit implemented for all parameters in both graphic user interface and host control/automation
• Built-in preset management functions
• Supports window size scaling up to 200%.
