Core Effects Descriptions

Phase Shifter

A phase shifter produces a fixed number of peaks and notches in the audio spectrum which can be swept up and down in frequency with a low frequency oscillator (LFO). This creates a swirly, ethereal sound with harmonically rich sound sources of a type of pitch shift with simpler sounds. The phase shifter was invented in the 1970’s and the characteristic sound of this device evokes emotions of that musical era.

By setting the LFO Depth to zero and tuning the LFO Center, a fixed multi-notch filter is created.

Parameter	Description
LFO Center	Sets the initial offset of the LFO and changes the position of the
	peaks and notches. Range: 0% to 100%
Feedback	Increases the depth of the notches and height of the peaks.
	Range: 0% to 100%
LFO Rate	Controls the sweep rate of the Low Frequency Oscillator.
	Range: .01Hz to 10Hz
LFO Depth	Controls how much the Center Frequency is swept by the LFO.
	Range: 0% to 100%
Waveform	Selects a Sine or Triangle wave for the LFO
LFO L/R Phase	Controls the stereo width by adjusting the phase difference
	between the left and right sweeps. Range: -180° to +180°
