Rate — LFO rate in Hz, 0.01–10. Controls how fast the phaser sweep cycles. Slow rates (0.05–0.5 Hz) produce slow, dreamy sweeps; mid (1–4 Hz) classic phaser swirl; fast (5–10 Hz) approaches vibrato wobble.
Depth — LFO depth, 0–1. How far the LFO sweeps the allpass network’s center frequency. 0 is no modulation (static phaser tone). 1 is full sweep across the entire min_freq–max_freq range. Mid values produce subtler, focused sweeps in part of the range.
Feedback — Feedback amount, −0.95 to +0.95. Routes the phaser output back into its input. Positive values (0 to +0.95) produce the classic resonant phaser sweep — peaks become more pronounced. Negative values (-0.95 to 0) produce a different phasing character (different phase relationships through the allpass chain). 0.5 is the iconic phaser feedback level.
Min Freq — Lower bound of the LFO sweep, in Hz, 100–10000. The lowest frequency the allpass center sweeps to. Pair with max_freq to define the sweep range — the phaser’s character depends heavily on which frequencies are in the sweep.
Max Freq — Upper bound of the LFO sweep, in Hz, 100–10000. The highest frequency the allpass center sweeps to. For classic phaser tone, set 200–4000 Hz; for surgical sweeps, narrower ranges; for sound-design extremes, wider ranges.
Dry/Wet — Equal-power blend between dry (0) and phased signal (1). 0.5 is the standard phaser setting where dry and processed are equally present (the dry/wet interaction is what produces the comb-filter notches).
Additional controls
Stages — Number of allpass stages in the network, 2–12 (even numbers only). Each pair of stages adds another notch to the phaser’s comb filter. 4 stages = classic 4-stage phaser (Small Stone, Phase 90 vibe). 6–8 stages = denser, more cascading sweep. 10–12 stages = extreme spectral comb effects, very colorful.
Lfo Shape — LFO waveform: Sine (smooth swirl), Tri (triangle, slightly more angular), S&H (sample-and-hold, random stepped values for glitchy/unpredictable sweeps).
Stereo Spread — Stereo spread in degrees, 0–180°. Phase-offsets the LFO between left and right channels. 0° = mono (both channels in sync). 180° = fully out-of-phase (extreme stereo width — sweeps shimmer back and forth between the channels). 90° is balanced stereo widening.
About Phaser (Native)
A phaser passes the audio through a chain of allpass filters whose center frequencies are modulated by an LFO. Mixed with the dry signal, this creates moving notches in the spectrum — the classic phaser “sweep.” Different from a flanger (which uses a delay line and produces a more “metallic” comb response): phasers sound smoother, less metallic, more “swirling.” Use it for: classic 70s-style guitar phasing (4 stages, mid rate), pad and synth shimmer (high stage count, slow rate), or as a building block in more complex modulation chains. Compare with the Mod Delay in Flanger mode for a related but distinct effect.
