EFFECT TYPES: PHASER

Phaser

Introduction

The electronic phasing effect is created by splitting an audio signal into two paths. One path treats the signal with an all-pass filter, which preserves the amplitude of the original signal and alters the phase. The amount of change in phase depends on the frequency. When signals from the two paths are mixed, the frequencies that are out of phase will cancel each other out, creating the “notches” characteristic for a Phaser. Changing the mix ratio changes the depth of these notches. The deepest notches occur when the mix ratio is 50 %, which is the fixed ratio of the Phaser in NOVA Modulator.

DEPTH Knob

Use the DEPTH knob to specify the intensity of the effect. The higher the setting the more aggressive the effect will sound.

SPEED Knob

Use the SPEED knob to set the speed of the effect.

SHAPE/FEED Knob: Feedback Parameter

Use the SHAPE/FEED knob to control the amount of feedback in the Phaser. Negative values inverse the phase of the signal that is fed back to the algorithm’s input.

Negative Feedback

Positive Feedback
