 - **The devices** (#398): in the graph a Phaser is a plate of 760x280 graph units in mustard, a
   Flanger one of 680x280 in steel blue, their inputs on the left and their output on the right.
   - **The screen** draws what is left of each frequency, 20 Hz to 20 kHz in octaves, +12 to -36

     allpasses, the feedback and the delay of the worklet, at 48 kHz: the unit tests find the same
     dB as the worklet on a sine, within 0.005 dB.
-  - The Flanger's comb is reckoned exactly per column, not read at points, and blurred over the
-    delays of the last 1/20 s (#398). High up its teeth pass faster than frames are drawn, and
-    sharp frames of them flickered. There they become a calm band from the deepest notch to the

-    are drawn as smooth lines, not as one rectangle per column.
+  - The Flanger's comb is reckoned exactly, through the ends of each column and the peaks and
+    notches in it, not read at points (#398). Behind the line a faint **trail** shows what it swept
+    over the last 1/20 s, and over the last 1/40 s once more, so it fades with age. High up its
+    teeth pass faster than frames are drawn, and a sharp line of them would flicker. Where they
+    move more than a quarter of a tooth within the trail, the line fades out, and from half a

   - Under it a **lane** shows where that goes over the first seconds of a sound: the Phaser's turn
     in Hz, the Flanger's delay in ms (up to 2.5, 5, 10 or 20). A light runs over the lane in real
     time and the response above is drawn where it is, so the notches swirl and the comb jets as
