CF-101 Chorus/Flanger
The CF-101 is a combined chorus and flanger effect. It adds depth and move-
ment to the sound by adding a short modulated delay to the audio signal. The
delayed signal is then mixed with the original (either in the effect device, or man-
ually by you - see below). The CF-101 can be used as an insert effect or a send
effect.
Parameters
CV Inputs
The following CV inputs are available on the back panel of the device:
DD
DD
Delay CV.
Allows you to control the delay time from another device. This may give best
results if you turn off the LFO modulation in the device (turn LFO Mod
Amount to zero). For example, by controlling the delay parameter from a Ma-
trix, you can create “stepped flanger” effects, in sync with the tempo.
✪ If you use the Delay CV input for “playing” the feedback tone, note
that a higher delay value gives a lower pitch.
DD
DD
Rate CV.
Lets you control the rate of the modulating LFO from another device.
About Stereo and Mono connections
The CF-101 can be connected using mono or stereo inputs, as shown by the
graphs on the back panel. Note the following:
DD
DD
A “moving” stereo effect is only obtained when you use a mono in-
put and stereo outputs.
With a stereo input, the two sides are processed in parallel, maintaining the
stereo image of the original sound.
DD
DD
When you are using a mono input and stereo outputs, there will
only be a stereo effect if the internal LFO is used.
If you turn LFO Mod Amount to zero, both stereo outputs will carry the same
signal (mono). This is because the “fake stereo” effect is produced by invert-
ing the modulation for one of the output channels.

Description
Delay This is a manual control for the delay time used to create the
chorus/flanger effect. Usually, flanger-type effects use fairly
short delay times while chorus-type effects use medium long
delay times.
Feedback This governs the amount of effect signal fed back to the in-
put, which in turn affects the intensity and character of the ef-
fect. Turning this to the extreme left (negative feedback) or
right (positive feedback) produces different flanger effects
with a pronounced resonance “tone”, while keeping it in be-
tween produces a more gentle chorus effect.
LFO Rate This is the frequency of the LFO modulating the delay time.
The higher the value, the faster the sound will oscillate.
LFO Sync This button lets you activate/deactivate LFO sync. When it is
activated, the frequency of the LFO is synchronized to the
song tempo, in one of 16 possible timedivisions. The LFO
Rate knob is then used for setting the desired timedivision.
Turn the knob and observe the tooltip that appears for an in-
dication of the timedivision.
LFO Mod
Amount
This determines the depth of the LFO modulation, i.e. by how
much the delay time should be modulated.
If you turn this to zero, the effect will be “frozen” (most effec-
tive if you add a little feedback).
Send Mode This determines whether the delayed signal and the dry sig-
nal should be mixed in the effect device or not.
If you use the device as an insert effect, you should turn this
off. The device will then output a mix of the dry signal and the
modulated delay signal.
If you use the device as a send effect, you should activate
Send mode. Then, the device will only output the modulated
delay signal, allowing you to mix it with the dry signal using
the AUX send controls in the mixer.
