Time Based Effects

Flanger,Chorus,Reverb,Delay,Phaser

What does the Dry signal mean in these time-based plugins?

The original, unprocessed audio passing straight through the plugin without any effects applied.

What does the Wet signal mean in these time-based plugins?

The processed, affected audio generated by the plugin like echoes, reverb tails, or modulations.

What is the universal purpose of the Dry/Wet control across all these plugins?

To balance the volume mix between the clean sound and the effect sound.

What is the equivalent name used in Fruity Phaser to blend the clean audio with the phase-shifted signal?

Dry-Wet knob.

What is the core purpose of the Time or Delay knob shared across these plugins?

It serves as the fundamental timing or spacing offset that drives the core effect.

What is the shared purpose of Feedback in Delay, Flanger, and Phaser?

It feeds the processed audio back into itself to intensify repeats or resonance.

What does the Time knob do in Fruity Delay 3?

Sets the core echo duration, measured in milliseconds or tempo-synced beats.

What does the Feedback Level knob do in Fruity Delay 3?

Controls how many times the echoes repeat before fading out completely.

What does the Cutoff knob do in Fruity Delay 3?

Filters out frequencies from the echo repeats to make them darker or cleaner.

What does the Delay Model setting do in Fruity Delay 3?

Switches the echo positioning between Mono, Stereo, and Ping-Pong.

What is the function of the Wet and Dry knobs located near the output section of Fruity Delay 3?

Independent output knobs to balance the level of clean signal versus echo signal.

What does the Decay knob control in Fruity Reverb 2?

Controls how long the reverb tail takes to fade out.

What does the Size knob do in Fruity Reverb 2?

Sets the simulated room dimensions and reflection spacing.

What does the Damp knob do in Fruity Reverb 2?

Absorbs high frequencies in the reverb tail for a warmer, darker space.

What does the Bass Cut/Cross control do in Fruity Reverb 2?

Shapes the low-end buildup to keep the reverb from sounding muddy.

What do the Dry, ER, and Wet sliders control in Fruity Reverb 2?

Faders controlling the mix of clean signal, early wall reflections, and main reverb tail.

What does the Delay knob do in Fruity Flanger?

Sets the ultra-short base offset time that creates the metallic comb-filtering sweep.

What does the Depth knob do in Fruity Flanger?

Controls how far the internal sweep moves the delay time.

What does the Rate knob do in Fruity Flanger?

Controls the speed of the flanger movement cycle.

What does the Feedback knob do in Fruity Flanger?

Intensifies the resonant, metallic scrubbing effect of the flanger.

What does the Delay knob do in Fruity Chorus?

Sets the core timing offset for the doubling effect.

What does the Depth knob do in Fruity Chorus?

Determines the intensity and range of the pitch-doubling movement.

What does LFO 1 Freq do in Fruity Chorus?

Controls the speed of the primary internal movement wave.

What does Sweep Freq do in Fruity Phaser?

Controls the speed of the phase-shifting filter sweep.

What do Min and Max Depth do in Fruity Phaser?

Sets the lower and upper frequency boundaries of the filter sweep.

What does Nr Stages do in Fruity Phaser?

Determines the filter stage count for a more complex, richer phase notch sound.

What does Feedback Amount do in Fruity Phaser?

Amplifies the peak resonances of the phase sweep.

What is the primary core overlap between Delay, Flanger, and Chorus?

All three rely on a delay line core combined with feedback to shape their respective time effects.

What is the core overlap between Reverb and Delay?

Both simulate physical echoes, but delays give distinct repeating taps while reverb smears them into a continuous space.

What is the core overlap between Phaser and Flanger?

Both create a moving swishing sound, but flangers use an actual delay line while phasers use all-pass filters.
