Phasor A / Phasor B - Arturia Phaser BI-TRON User Manual

4.2.3. Phasor A / Phasor B

These sections are the main control sections for the phaser circuits. Just as with the Sweep
Generator sections, we have one for each engine, this time name A and B. Phasor A is
located in the left part of the control panel, and Phasor B is located in the right part. Again as
was the case with the Sweep Generator sections, each section is clearly marked by a white
frame that surrounds it.
We have several controls inside the sections. Let's look at each of them:
Phasor A and Phasor B sections, with the Routing section in the middle
4.2.3.1. Depth 1 and Depth 2
The Depth controls, together with the Feedback control, determine how deep the phasing
effect sounds. We can look at them as effect intensity controls.
The presence of two Depth controls is another new feature introduced by Arturia in this
section. The original unit had each engine controlled by just one LFO. Therefore, Sweep Gen
1 controlled Phasor A while Sweep Gen 2 controlled Phasor B. Here, we may have each
engine controlled simultaneously by the two LFOs. That's why we have two Depth control
knobs.
Depth 1 controls the modulation intensity from Sweep Gen 1. Remember that the LFO
frequency of this generator may be controlled by the Pedal, instead of the Rate knob.
Depth 2 controls the modulation intensity from Sweep Gen 2.
The range of both Depth controls goes from 1.00 to 10.00, and defaults to 5.50.
