PhazDi
PhazDi generates the dierence of the incoming wave and a version that is inverted and
phase-shifted.
Parameter Range Description
Depth 0-128 in increments of 0.1 Controls the phase of the output waveform
Feedback 0-150% Feeds the phase-shifted output back into itself
Dry/Wet 0-100% Mix raw and phase-shifted waveforms; 100% = pure
Mutant
Here’s how to explore this Mutant. But be careful with high Feedback values in step 5! The
results can be very loud.
1. Initialize the patch by pressing [INIT] twice.
2. Press [MUTANT 1] to access that Mutant module.
3. Use Control knob 1 to select the PhazDi mode.
4. Use Control knob 8 to set the Dry/Wet control to 50%. This provides an equal blend of the
raw wave and its mutation.
5. Experiment with dierent values of Depth and Feedback to hear what they do.
6. Try step 5 with other waveforms, and try dierent Dry/Wet values.
This is especially fun to watch in the display as the waveform peaks are shifted and inverted.
The changes are easier to see with simpler waveforms such as Horizon5 or Spect A1, but the
results are always audible. Modulating the Depth via the Mod Matrix is a great way to introduce
subtle shifts in the sonic landscape, too.
Ring-Noise Module
This module contains two additional sound
sources that can be blended with the
oscillators to make sounds that are even more
interesting.
Ring Modulation (Ring Mod or RM) takes two
audio signals and generates a sound based on
the sum and the dierence of their frequency
content. Depending on the sources the result
can be bell-like and pure, or it can be wiry,
robotic, trashy, and/or pleasingly unnatural.
A noise generator produces random, simulta-
neous frequencies across a broad range. The
dierent colors represent specic frequency
ranges and power levels.
