01Overview

Most flangers move independently of the music, which makes them feel more like a sound effect than part of the arrangement. Poly Flanger takes a different approach. Minimal Audio describes it as extending traditional flanging with musical awareness, so the effect follows the harmony of your track. Set a scale and the modulation snaps to the closest in-key note. The result is motion that supports the chords and melody instead of sitting on top of them.

Harmonic Motion and Multi-Voice Texture

Poly Flanger generates arpeggiated patterns and stacked chords built on the harmony of your track. Rather than generic sweeps, its movement is tied to scale, rhythm and pitch.

It uses multiple flanger voices to build layered textures. Each voice adds depth, so you can move from subtle thickening to heavier harmonic weight. You can blend the voices together or spread them apart to find the balance you want.

Modulation, Rhythm and Presets

Stereo modulation drives the motion across the effect. You can choose from several LFO shapes, add randomization and create stereo movement. Modulation can be quantized to rhythm and scale, so even random results stay in tune.

Poly Flanger includes 80 presets built around harmonic flanging, including arpeggiated shimmer and chord sweeps. They give you a starting point for pads, leads and transitions.
