Phaser-1 algorithm – introduction
A Phaser in general is a group of comb filters
that are swept back and forth by an LFO within
a certain frequency range. When the comb filter
sound is mixed with the direct signal, the mov-
ing phasing sound is created due to the constant
moving phase cancellation of the comb filter fre-
quencies in the direct signal.
This M5000 algorithm was originally designed as
a digital version of the acclaimed TC XII stomp
box phaser. As its predecessor, it offers a select-
able number of swept filter sections (4, 8 or 12) to
control the max excursion of the effect. For mi-
cro-delay sensitive algorithms like phasing, note
that predictable results are best obtained using a
direct feed-through mixed inside the effect, rath-
er than mixing the signals outside the algorithm.
The System 6000 implementation of Phaser 1
can be used with sample rates of up to 96 kHz.
