Introduction

The Mutron Bi-Phase, made by Musitronics Corp. in the mid to late 70s, is the most sought-after hardware

phaser in existence. Highly prized for its wide dynamic range and the liquid, subtle phasing provided by its

two six-stage phasers, the Bi-Phase is the benchmark by which all other analog phasers are judged.

Unfortunately, these original units are quite rare, and if one is found in good working condition, it commands a
premium price.

Enter PhaseTwo. This plug-in is a digital recreation of every aspect of the original Bi-Phase, complete right

down to the foot pedal. PhaseTwo features two separately controllable six-stage phasers, and like the original

unit, these two phasers can be routed in series or parallel, for everything from subtle stereo washes to full-

blown alien attack. Using the extra CC feature, which takes the place of the "Opti-Pedal" in the original unit,

you can manually sweep the phaser frequencies with a MIDI controller, such as a mod wheel.

The cel-shaded user interface of PhaseTwo matches the original unit in every respect, so anyone familiar with
the vintage unit will feel right at home using the digital recreation. Every object on the interface has Audio

Damage's standard MIDI Learn feature, so the unit can be fully controlled from external hardware controllers.

System Requirements

To use PhaseTwo on a Windows computer, you'll need a Steinberg VST-compatible host application, preferably

conforming to the VST 2.0 specifications, and a computer capable of running it. For the OSX version, you’ll

need a VST host, or a host capable of utilizing Apple’s Audio Unit plug-ins. The following specifications

represent minimum requirements.
