Chapter 9 Modulation 141
 Distribution menu (only available in surround instances): Defines how the phase offsets
between the individual channels are distributed in the surround field. You can
choose from Circular, Random, Front <> Rear, and Left <> Right distribution. When
you load a setting that uses the Random option, the saved phase offset value is
recalled. If you want to randomize the phase setting again, choose “new random“ in
the Distribution menu.
 Output Mix slider and field: Determines the balance of dry and wet signals. Negative
values result in a phase inverted mix of the effect and direct (dry) signal.
 Warmth button: Click to switch on an additional distortion circuit, which allows the
creation of warm overdrive effects.
Setting the Phaser Orders
The more orders a phaser has, the heavier the effect. The 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 settings put
five different phaser algorithms at your fingertips, all of which replicate the analog
circuits that they are modeled on, each designed for a specific application.
You are free to select odd numbered settings (5, 7, 9, 11), which, strictly speaking, don’t
generate actual phasing. The more subtle comb filtering effects produced by odd
numbered settings can, however, come in handy on occasion.
