Product Detail
The Eventide Instant Flanger MKII brings the iconic sound of vintage tape flanging to your modern production. It's an accurate emulation of the 1975 studio rackmount unit, famous for its use on hits like David Bowie's 'Ashes to Ashes' and Cyndi Lauper's 'Time After Time'. This versatile tool is great for stereo sweetening, adding subtle modulations, double - tracking, and creating extreme flanging effects. With its pseudo - stereo feature, it can turn mono guitars into huge stereo leads and make single - channel synths fill out your mix. It has dual outputs with three sonic images: 'Shallow', 'Deep', and 'Wide'. Combine 'Wide' Mode with the 'Low Cut' control to place harmonies behind the lead. The innovative 'Bounce' control mimics the tape machine's real - world behavior, adding a unique groove to your tracks. Key features include depth control for effect intensity, three flanging modes, manual control of the 'comb' effect, oscillator - driven flanging, envelope follower, remote control, side - chain triggering, and full oscillator control. It works on MacOS 10.9 Mavericks - 12 Monterey, Windows 8 - 11, with Intel, AMD, or Apple Silicon CPUs. You need a free iLok account and iLok License Manager. Plugin formats are AAX Native, AU, VST2, VST3 (all 64 - bit only), and it's natively compatible with Apple Silicon for all formats except AAX.
Using the Eventide Instant Flanger MKII is easy. First, connect it to your audio setup according to your system's requirements. To start, select one of the three flanging modes - Shallow, Deep, or Wide - depending on the sound you want. Use the Depth control to adjust the intensity of the flanging effect. If you want to add a real - world groove, turn the Bounce control knob. For stereo effects, use the pseudo - stereo feature to expand mono sounds. The Oscillator and Envelope Follower give you different ways to drive the flanging. You can also use the Side Chain to trigger the Envelope Follower from other sources in your mix. When it comes to maintenance, keep your software up - to - date to ensure smooth performance. Make sure your iLok account is in good standing and the iLok License Manager is installed correctly. Always follow the system requirements for your operating system and CPU to avoid any issues. And remember, this plugin only works in 64 - bit formats, so make sure your audio software supports them.
