The
SWEEP switch allows you to choose whether the phase shifter is controlled by Sweep Generator 1
or by the Sweep Control. Set the switch to
GEN 1 to produce the usual up-and-down sweeping effect. Set the
switch to
CC if you wish to sweep the phase shifter with the Sweep Control (described in detail below).
Phasor B
Phasor B is the second phase shifter. It has the same filters and hence the same timbral effect as Phasor A,
but it has more signal-routing and sweeping options.

The
INPUT knob allows you to choose from which of three sources Phasor B receives its signal. The
Bi-Phase has two input jacks, labeled
IN A and IN B. Since PhaseTwo can be used in either a mono or a
stereo context, the effect of its
INPUT switch is slightly different depending on the context.
In a stereo context, Phasor B’s output is always connected to the plug-in’s right output and the
INPUT switch
works as follows:
If the switch is set to
IN A, Phasor B receives its signal from the plug-in’s left input. That is, it receives
the same signal that Phasor A receives. This setting can be used to synthesize a pseudo-stereo
phasing effect from a mono input signal.
If the switch is set to
OUT A, Phasor B receives its signal from the output of Phasor A. The two phase
shifters are connected in series. This setting produces an unusual asymmetric configuration, because
the plug-in’s left output consists of the left input signal passed through Phasor A, while the right
output consists of the left input signal passed through both Phasor A and Phasor B.
If the switch is set to
IN B, Phasor B receives its signal from the plug-in’s right input. Phasor A
processed the plug-in’s left input signal, and Phasor B independently processes the plug-in’s right
input signal. This setting produces PhaseTwo’s (and the Bi-Phase’s) only “true stereo” processing
configuration.
In a mono context, Phasor B’s input and output connections vary somewhat depending on the setting of the
Input switch. These connections recreate several possible ways of using the Bi-Phase with only one input
