FlangeSoundEffect
Inherits from: SoundEffect → Instance → Object
The FlangeSoundEffect creates a sweeping or swooshing effect on the Sound or SoundGroup it is applied to. It does this by copying the original audio signal and playing on top of the original but slightly offset and modulated.
Like all other SoundEffect, a FlangeSoundEffect can be applied either to a Sound or SoundGroup by being parented to either.
