Page 5: Signal Flow
Phase shifter At the heart of Fazortan 2, the phase shifter applies an all-pass filter to the input signal to generate a phasing effect. The frequency re- sponse of this filter can be thought of as like a series of notch filters with cutoff frequencies evenly spread across the spectrum. The Phase... - Page 6 • signal flOw Basic mOdules The Phaser section houses the following controls: • Stages – Set the number of all-pass filters (Stages) making up the Phase shifter to 2, 4, 6 or 8. The frequency responses of the phasing filter for all four options are illustrated below: Feedback max.

- Page 8 Feedback – Route the Phase shifter output back into its input to emphasise the frequencies around the all-pass filter stage cutoff points. • Stereo phase - The mixed waveform output by Fazortan 2’s two LFOs is stereo, and the Stereo Phase parameter applies phase shift- ing between the left and right channels. STEREO PHASE LFO phase shift between stereo channels When Stereo Phase is at 0, the left and right LFO waves are 100% in phase.

Page 9: Lfo - Low Frequency Oscillator
Basic mOdules LFO – Low Frequency Oscillator Fazortan 2 features two Low Frequency Oscillators, the mixed output of which is used to modulate the Center Frequency of the Phase Shifter. Low Frequency Oscillator The two LFO sections are identical and comprise the following controls: •... - Page 10 A Dotted note is half a note longer than a Full note, while a Triplet note is two thirds the length of a Full note. Note lengths The waveforms generated by Fazortan 2’s two LFO modules are mixed (added) together, and the resultant oscillation modulates the opera- tional frequency (Center Frq. parameter) of the Phase shifter.

Page 11: Sweep Section
• signal flOw Basic mOdules Sweep section The Sweep controls govern the amplitudes of the waveforms generated by LFO1 and LFO2: The Sweep section The LFO 1 Depth and LFO 2 Depth controls set the amount of effect that the oscillations of each LFO have on the Phase shifter’s center frequency. - Page 12 • signal flOw Basic mOdules The Master section...

Page 13: The Signal Path
The signal path The diagram below shows the signal flow through Fazortan 2: SIgnal flow In summary, the signal is duplicated immediately after the input and sent down two paths: one goes to the Phase shifter, the other goes straight to the output on the ‘Dry’... -
