How Do You Make This Effect? [FL Studio]

This guy in this tutorial video does the effect by accident, and later shows it again without giving specifics on how to make it occur.

Appears at 5:03

Also, in this Lil B video (just linking it for example), it occurs at 13 seconds

How do you get that phase effect? I've tried everything. Nothing. I need a specific explanation.

To anyone who explains it correctly, thank you for giving me your time.

I know what you mean. It's like an EQ cutoff done manually or some sort of phase plug-in. I'm not sure of the specifics. Could it just be the pitch bend from a keyboard?

Nah I doubt it's the pitch, and it could be an EQ cutoff but in that first video it's doing it just by a filter some how. He didn't touch the EQ once.
 
Yes Im with DP on this, and it does show you how to do it in the video.
He basically says use the filter then use a preset.
Once you understand what the presets are doing and what the knobs do on a filter you can skip the presets and play it by ear.

Filters are pretty easy to use really, one dial for frequency and one dial for gain/reduction.
There is usually a way to select between low pass(for the high frequencies above the frequency setting), a bandpass(affects the frequencies above and below the frequency setting, amount depending on the Q setting),or a high pass filter(which affects the low frequencies below the frequency setting).

You can also achieve the same results with an eq, but its easier to use a filter.
You can get some great effects from a filter sweep, which is automating the frequency setting of the filter so it "sweeps" through the frequency range.

Also using a bandpass filter you can emulate a phonecall by cutting high and low frequencies just leaving a narrow band between 1khz - 5khz and then play with it to tune it till it sounds right.
You can use a high pass filter on some intruments to cut out the inaudible lows that combine to peak a signal leaving you wondering why its peaking when it doesnt sound loud.
Filters/EQ's are the first place I start when trying to mixdown.
