Stereo Phaser
A phaser adds a phase-shifted sound to the direct sound, producing a twisting modulation that creates spaciousness and depth.

Phaser and Flanger
The effects obtained with Phaser and Flanger are very similar. Both add twisting modulation effects to the sound, creating
spaciousness and depth. In other words, they create something like strongly accentuated chorus.
Phaser provides a unique surge sounding like bubbles coming up. Flanger works mostly in the same mechanism as for
Chorus. Besides that, it can create SE-type sounds like ascending/descending sounds of a jet.

*1: An excessively great values for Resonance (Reso) may cause oscillation.
*2: An excessively large value for Cross-Feedback level may cause oscillation.
*3: When a mono source has been input, set "Inv" to provide spaciousness to the sound. Set "Sync" for inputting a stereo source.
*4: If Low Type (Lo Type) or High Type (Hi Type) is set to "Shlv (Shlving Type)," the setting for Lo Q or High Q is invalid.

Setting Function
Adds a sound with a shifted phase to the direct sound to add spaciousness to the sound.
Off, On Turns the phaser on or off.
4, 8, 12, 16 Sets the number of stages in the phaser (p. 34).
Sync, Inv Sets the right and left phases of modulation.
0.1–10.0 Hz Sets the rate at which the phaser will modulate.
0–100 Sets the depth of modulation.
0–100 Sets the reference frequency for adding the surging effect to the sound.
0–100 Enhances frequency components at around the center frequency set with Manual.
0–100 Sets the amount of the phaser sound to be returned to the channel opposite to the one used for
input.
-100–100 Sets the volume of the phaser sound.
-100–100 Sets the volume of the direct sound.
On, Off Turns the equalizer on or off.
-12– +12 dB Sets the boost/cut amount in the low frequency band.
20 - 2000 Hz Sets the center frequency in the low frequency band.
0.3–10.0 Sets the width of the area around the low frequency that
will be affected by the gain settings.
Shlv, Peak Sets the type of the low frequency band equalizer (Shlving type or peaking type).
-12– +12 dB Sets the boost/cut amount in the middle frequency band.
200–8000 Hz Sets the center frequency in the middle frequency band.
0.3–10.0 Sets the width of the area around the middle frequency that will be affected by the gain settings.
-12– +12 dB Sets the boost/cut amount in the High frequency band.
1.4–20.0 kHz Sets the center frequency in the High frequency band.
0.3–10.0 Sets the width of the area around the High frequency that will be affected by the gain settings. *4
Shlv, Peak Sets the type of the High frequency band equalizer (Shlving type or peaking type).
0–100 Sets the volume after passing through the equalizer.
