Overview

Name | Version: FLANSCH 1.0.3
Author: ATomSoundware
Device Type: Audio Effect
Description: Flansch: Creative Flanger for Ableton Live

Flansch is an experimental flanger effect, optimized for precise sound design and extended control within Ableton Live. The device provides a high degree of creative modulation, allowing you to generate a large variety of sounds—from subtle textures to extreme, colored sonic landscapes.

Innovative Flanger Parameters (Detailed Creativity)

The internal flanger core design yields a resonant, musical sound similar to classic analog flangers, without being a direct simulation.

Depth, Position, and Offset: These three parameters allow for unique sonic shaping:

Depth determines the intensity of the modulation.

Position sets the phase shift starting point in the modulation cycle.

Offset applies a time shift (pre-delay style) that is crucial for rhythmic alignment and creating a sense of spatial depth.


Color Control: A dedicated parameter that specifically influences the tonal quality of the feedback loop. It is most effective at higher Speed settings, offering timbral options not found on conventional flangers.


Bipolar Feedback: The feedback system supports both positive (classic, metallic tone) and negative (phase-inverted, darker, hollow sound) regeneration.


Non-Linear Speed: The modulation speed control curve is non-linear. This allows for fine, subtle adjustments in the low range and fast, pronounced modulation in higher values.


Sidechain Compressor: An integrated compressor helps to rhythmically pump the flanger effect or blend it more effectively into dense mixes.


Mix Options: Features separate Mix (for Insert) and Wet Mix (for Send effect use) level controls.


Flexibility and Optimized UI

This Max for Live effect is part of a solution that also runs on Standalone Hardware like the Raspberry Pi (e.g., with Pisound). The device interface utilizes faders instead of knobs primarily because faders offer superior tactile usability on the accompanying TouchOSC controller interface. This design choice unifies the UI presentation, ensuring an optimal user experience for Flansch on both Ableton Live and the Raspberry Pi.
