Modules: Phase
Robotizer
Section titled “Robotizer”Produces a classic robotic effect in the usual manner: by flattening the phase of the signal. Don’t forget that you can adjust the desired start and stop frequencies, wetness and gain via the three controls in the Main window! Effects run the gamut from pseudo-vocoder effects to unusual phase-cancellation filtering.
Whisperer
Section titled “Whisperer”This one provides a sort of whispering effect by randomizing the phases. Note: you’ll need a short frame size for proper operation.
Phasevolution
Section titled “Phasevolution”This one creates an accelerated change in phase over time, which results in a sort of pulsating pitch effect. As with the Whisperer, this one demands a short frame size for proper operation. It also works better on signals with lots of clear harmonics. The Period knob controls the rate at which the phase comes full circle.
As you might guess, this module flips the phase, but don’t confuse it with the “flip” button on your mixing console — this one creates some pretty unusual effects! The effect is quite variable, depending very much on the harmonic content of the incoming signal. Odd harmonics tend to result in a more dissonant sound, while even harmonics are more consonant and pleasant to the ear. Also, the shorter the frame size, the more audible the effect will be.
