Can anyone kindly explain exactly what “signal inversion” is and what its effects are ?
It seems quite an important feature in the modulars but there’s little explanation on the subject out there…
Signal inversion = 180 degree phase reversal.
Useful for cancelling out signals or portions of signals (IE phase inverted lowpass mixed with original signal yields a high pass response, which the Voyager does), creating multiphase LFO modulation, changing a falling ramp waveform into a rising ramp, differential processing, etc.
Totally interested in this topic!
Is there anything in the Moogerfooger arsenal that can do this to audio? (I haven’t had a chance to manual dive yet…) Would the CP-251 mixer section do this to an audio signal?
I know that the Phaser (oddly enough!?) does have inverted outs, however they are only active when the phaser is on… The ClusterFlux does this too… I would like to avoid using these pedals to do this…
The newer version of the 251 with the bipolar inverters can do signal inversion.
