PHAsEr - 1
A Phaser in general is a group of comb filters that are
swept back and forth by an LFO within a certain frequency
range. When the comb filter sound is mixed with the direct
signal, the moving phasing sound is created due to the
constant moving phase cancelation of the combfilter
frequencies in the direct signal.
Phaser
Speed
Range: 0.1 to 10Hz
Controls the Speed of the moving filters in the Phaser.
Depth
Range: 0 to 100%
Adjusts the Depth of the phasing filters.
Feedback
Range: -100 to 100%
Controls the amount of processed signal fed back to the
Input of the algorithm.
Order
Range: 4th, 8th, 12th
Sets the number of filters used to produce the Phaser.
Focus
Range: Lo Freq, Hi Freq
Sets the overall frequency range in which the Phaser
should operate.
Out Level
Range: -100 to 0dB
Controls the Output level of the Phaser algorithm.
In Level
Range: -100 to 0dB
Adjusts the Input level of the algorithm.
Mix
Range: 0 to 100%
Mixes between direct sound and phaser sound.

This M5000 algorithm was originally designed as a
digital version of the acclaimed TC XII stomp box phas-
er. As its predecessor, it offers a selectable number of
swept filter sections (4, 8 or 12) to control the max
excursion of the effect. For micro-delay sensitive algo-
rithms like phasing, note that predictable results are
best obtained using a direct feed-through mixed inside
the effect, rather than mixing the signals outside the
algorithm. The System 6000 implementation of Phaser
1 can be used with sample rates of up to 96kHz.
