THE PHASEMISTRESS CONTROL PANEL - LFO MODE TWEAK MENU
PhaseMistress — Version 5
Mod knob. It is really important to note that the Freq Mod parameter is
highly interactive with the front panel Frequency and Depth knobs.
There is also a polarity reverse switch next to the control. This switch
can be used to quickly “flip” or reverse the direction of the modulation
being applied by the Freq Mod control.
FREQ MOD (continued)
The Res Offset Mod control allows you to modulate the Resonance
Offset parameter with whatever modulation source is currently in use
(LFO, Envelope, etc). The Res Offset Mod knob is also center justified
meaning that when set at 12 o’clock, no modulation is applied to the
resonance. Turning the knob clockwise or typing in a positive number
will modulate and increase the Resonance Offset (counter-clockwise for
negative values).
It is important to keep in mind that the setting of the Resonance Offset
(Resonant Frequency) in the Style Edit Menu defines the “default”
starting point for the Resonance Offset modulation. Positive modulation
will increase the Res Offset from the value set in this menu whereas
negative modulation will decrease from the Resonance Offset. You can
modulate the Resonance Offset inversely from the modulation of the
Resonance or the Frequency and by a specific amount.
RES OFS MOD
Res Mod determines the number of resonant peaks independently of
the number of Stages. The Res Mod parameter has a significant effect
on the overall character of the resonance when the Resonance control
is turned up. Various mixtures of Stage settings and Res Mod settings
can often impart very drastic changes in the overall tonal quality of the
phase effect.
Setting the Res Mod to the lowest setting of “Norm” is a standard
setting and will automatically set the number of resonant peaks for the
selected number of Stages, as would be typical in the majority of phaser
circuit designs. As you change the number of Stages, the number of
resonant peaks are automatically set. Alternately, setting the Res Style
to a different number than the number of Stages allows you to create
completely new and previously unavailable virtual phasing circuits and
create a plethora of truly unique phasing tones. There are a LOT of
RES MOD
variations that can be achieved with different combinations of Stages
and Res Style settings.
Res Mod also features a polarity reverse switch next to the control.
This switch can be used to quickly “flip” or reverse the phase of the
modulation being applied by the Res Mod control.
