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°
