the same source—either
GEN 1 or CC—then the two phase shifters will sweep together. Note that they will
sweep over a different range if their
DEPTH knobs are not at the same position. If the SWEEP switches are
set to different sources, then the two phase shifters will move independently.

The
DEPTH knob works the same way as Phasor A’s DEPTH knob (see #6 above).

The
FEEDBACK knob works the same way as Phasor A’s FEEDBACK knob (see #7 above).

The two Bypass switches turn the two phase shifters on and off independently. Click the switches to
toggle them between their on and off positions (just like foot switches on a guitar stomp box). If their
corresponding LED is illuminated, the phase shifter is turned on. If the LED is darkened, the corresponding
phase shifter is turned off and signals pass through it without alteration. Sometimes it is useful to turn on only
one phase shifter at a time, either to create a more subtle effect or to more clearly hear exactly what you’re
doing as you turn the knobs and flip the switches.

The
ASSIGN CC button is obviously not one of the Bi-Phase’s controls. It allows you to assign a MIDI
controller to the hidden Sweep Control. (Remember when earlier we said we’d describe the Sweep Control in
more detail? Now’s the time.) The Sweep Control replaces the foot pedal that Mu-Tron sold as an optional
accessory for the Bi-Phase. This control, like the foot pedal, lets you to sweep the frequencies of the phasors
and/or the rate of Sweep Generator 1 with a MIDI controller and/or your host’s automation features. If you

A footnote about foot switches: The Bi-Phase came with a small box with two foot switches, just like the one
pictured in PhaseTwo’s user interface. The relative sizes shown by PhaseTwo are correct: the Bi-Phase is a
large signal processor, particularly by today’s standards. It’s about 14 inches wide. The case has a socked for
a microphone stand on its underside so that you can mount it at some convenient height and leave the foot
switch on the floor. PhaseTwo saves you from having to find space for a 14-inch-wide phase shifter and
another mic stand.
