Page 4: Design Concepts
Design Concepts The Components in Detail Oscillator A, B The design goal for Phase 22 was to take advantage of digital synthesis algo- rithms in order to build an expressively playable instrument that has a strong individual character At the same time the set of parameters should be small enough to be easily accessible The core structure is a phase modulation synth that is based on two sine oscil- lators and two sine shapers only Their signals can be passed through a comb... -
Page 5: Shaper A,B
Shaper A,B Oscillator signal without self modulation and different amounts of fluctuation: Wave Form Audio Spectrum The signal of each oscillator is processed by a wave shaper The shaping curve is a sine function with adjustable foldback and asymmetry The mix amounts of the shaper signal can be adjusted individually for each phase modulation branch and for the output The Shaper block also contains mixing points for the feedback signal and the... - Page 6 The influence of the Drive parameter of the Shaper: The influence of the Fold parameter of the Shaper: Output Input Drive: 0 .0 dB Fold: 100 % Asymetry: 0 % Output Output Input Input Drive: 3 .0 dB Drive: 12 .0 dB Fold: 100 % Fold:...

Page 12: Output Mixer
Output Mixer Output Mixer The Output Mixer creates a stereo sum of the signals from Oscillator/Shaper A This mixer combines the following signals for the feedback bus: the outputs of and B, the Comb Filter and the State Variable Filter It includes a sine shaper for the Comb Filter and the State Variable Filter and the output of the Effects chain, the sum signal of each voice with a separately adjustable amount of Reverb It includes a sine shaper for the... -
Page 14: Cabinet
Cabinet Gap Filter A stereo distortion unit (sine shaper) with pre and post filtering that can sound A 4-pole lowpass and a 4-pole highpass in a parallel or serial structure, creating similar to a guitar amp driving a speaker a flexible band-rejection or band-pass filter The offset between the center frequencies of the left and the right channel can be controlled Signal flow of the Cabinet: Signal flow of the Gap Filter:... -

Page 19: About Fm And Chaos
Instruments’ Kontour in 2014 With the learnings from the Kontour project they could be programmed to respond very expressively to key velocity we have improved Phase 22 in many aspects, and as part of the C15 it is still evolving The algorithms of the first FM synths already contained a feedback loop Later, in NI’s FM7 the algorithms were extended to a matrix where every operator’s... -
