Phaser Use

Hi There,

I am curious about the uses for the MF103 for sounds other than phasing. Do people use the comb filter with LFO? I would have thought that the left out (no top and bottom, just bands) may be used to like a more complex BP filter. How about S+H into it? I like the idea of this kind of stuff, and would investigate the 103 further if there is more to it than jet engines and leslies (not being dismissive of these sounds).

I’ve had a look on the web, and most of the MF103 demos are basic phasing, and mainly with guitars. I like the biphase sound that has been discussed in these pages as well.

Cheers,

Roy

Roy,

Here are a few of the unorthodox things ive done with the phaser:

In this one I used the Phaser as an Osc, though it doesn’t track anywhere near 1v/oct.

On this one I ran 4 lfo sources to the phaser and processed some sounds with a tinge of delay added. Notice this is called “Quadraphasing”

It’s great to use the LFO out and Aux. out as control voltages. The MF-102 makes a great partner for the 103. :wink:

I used the phaser extensively on a project I did recently, it’s quite versatile. With the modulation turned all the way down it’s an admirable comb filter, I used it this way on percussion sounds a lot to add a sense of space/dimensionality. In combination with overdriving the unit this yields even more interesting effects.

On the other hand, you can crank the speed of the LFO into audio range and dial in all manner of side-band mayhem, ring-mod-like effects, etc.

And then there’s the CV too.

Thanks for the replies and sounds, I need to get in to my local dealer and try it out, though it’s not always easy to set up some creative patches in store.
