Summary of Flanging

A flanger provides uniformly spaced notches and/or peaks in the frequency response that move over time

``Basilar membrane comb massage''

Drawbacks to Flanging:

• Uniform notches can zero a periodic signal
  
• Uniform peaks can impose ``resonant pitch''
  (sounds like being inside a resonant tube)
• Exponentially spaced notches
  (uniformly spaced on a log frequency scale)
  would be more uniform perceptually
