THE PHASEMISTRESS CONTROL PANEL - STYLE EDIT MENU
PhaseMistress — Version 5
THE STYLE EDIT MENU
The Style Edit Menu gives you the ability to alter the included phasing
‘circuits’. The listed styles are a combination of emulated vintage gear
and PhaseMistress exclusives. Each setting has a completely different
tonal shape and will drastically alter the overall sound and character
of PhaseMistress independent of any other applied settings. Once a
selected style has been modified the selection will default to “Custom”,
the last entry in the list. Modified styles are saved along with the
PhaseMistress preset information, not separately as rhythm patterns or
custom shapes are.

As previously discussed in the “About PhaseMistress” section,
the number of stages in the circuit is perhaps the most important
parameter in any phaser design. The Stages control determines the
number of phase shift stages present in PhaseMistress (from 2 to a
maximum of 24).
The most common phaser circuits consist of even-numbered stages of
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. The intensity and resonance of the phasing effect
increases with the number of stages, so a 2-stage phaser would be the
most transparent while a 12-stage would be more pronounced.
