Description: Native Instruments MOD PACK takes three classic modulation effects – chorus, flanger and phaser and adds functions never seen before. Each offers exciting new creative possibilities as well as stunningly convincing vintage-style results, making MOD PACK a must-have upgrade from the rest of modulation effects.
Native Instruments Choral: Drawing sonic inspiration from some of the most iconic chorus effects from the past 40 years – including iconic stands and unison synth effects. Add width, movement, sparkle and shimmer to any signal or take advantage of the new Scatter feedback mode. This avoids unpleasant metallic sounds. Instead, a completely new effect similar to reverb is created. The classic effects contained a small number of settings – On, Off and Type are usually the only controls. Our plugin offers many customizable options. The number of voices can be set gradually from one to three, the sync speed can be manually changed, as well as the modulation speed, volume, mix, delay time, stereo width and feedback.
Native Instruments Flair: Flips the classic head flanger effect. FLAIR adds a revolutionary new Voices mode that uses multiple delay lines to create custom harmonic flanger layers and resonances. It even has 24 chord settings, offering different chords and note intervals. In addition to revolutionary features, FLAIR is capable of rich tape saturation and pedal flanger, offering all the parameters you’d normally expect, such as tempo-synchronized pitch modulation.
Native Instruments Phasis: Offers endless phasing sounds – adding movement, soul, and creative magic to any signal. PHASIS takes inspiration from the classic phaser but adds powerful new features. For example, the Spread control changes the step spacing of a vocal style effect passage. Ultra Power Mode brings modulation to ultra-high speeds, creating unique FM-esque tones. The plug-in adjusts the peak density and Q-factor in the spectrum and whether it is set to one value, applied in real time or with automation, or reversed with the “Invert” button, “Spread” provides a new effect for both the phasing process and vowel sounds of vocals. With its powerful stereo spread function, advanced sync options and all the controls you’d expect from a professional phaser, PHASIS is already a formidable modulation device, but the ULTRA parameter takes the effect into a new area of application. ULTRA boosts the maximum modulation rate from 8.37 kHz to an incredible 477.3 kHz, which generates unusual FM-style effects never heard before and is capable of turning even white noise into immersive sound.

Install Notes:
Just install and enjoy!
Just sharing a story I’d read on how the flanger came to be….. I think at Electric Ladyland they were dubbing together some Jimi Hendrix tracks…… an engineer accidentally bumped the reel on one of the decks. The rim of a tape reel is called the “flange”. The result was some milliseconds of loss of sync, causing a sweeping effect of the harmonics; you hear the difference between the two signals. Chorus, phase shifter, and flanger work by splitting the incoming signal into two, then slightly delaying one of those signals prior to output. It’s easy to see how a momentary lag of one reel with respect to the other causes this phenomenon. There probably is a conflicting account of how flanging came to be, but the one I read and convey has enough credibility…… cool story, anyway.
I’ve heard this occur when two A-10 aircraft flew about 50′ above us then executed a banking climb in formation. As the plane rolls on the Z axis, load increases on one of the engines. Again, you hear the effect of delaying one of two identical signals as it sweeps across the harmonics.
