Phasewaveris a
phase distortion synthesizerwith a vast array of composite waveshaping and amplitude modulation to
generate a complex frequency spectrum. Essentially, the
harmonic content of a carrier waveform dynamically change by
influence of another modulator waveform, which can be used to
create synth pads, keys, leads, basses,
atmospheric
textures, ambient soundscapes
and sound
effects.
Features a collection of 40 presets suitable for many genres
and styles of music and flexibility to custom design over a
wide sonic spectrum. Available as an instrument plugin in VST and VST3 64 bit versions for Windows, as well
as in Audio Unit for
macOS.
Features
Two p
hase
distortion oscillators.
Offers 16 different single-cycle waveforms per channel.
Two waveshapers. These combo
boxes presents a double selectable wave
shapes for each oscillator with 5 basic waveforms: sawtooth, square, pulse, double sine and
sawtooth-pulse plus 3 resonant waveforms: resonance 1 (sawtooth), resonance 2
(triangle) and resonance 3 (trapezoid).
Waveform Envelope Generator and Amplitude Envelope
Modulator for both
phase distortion
oscillators
to control the audio signal passing through them,
with independent control over each stage:
Attack: determines the time it takes for the note to get
to the maximum level.
Decay: determines the time it takes for the note to go
from the maximum level to the sustain level (controlled by sustain).
Sustain: determines the level of the sound is played at while
the note is held (after the other envelope states, attack and decay, have
been completed).
Release: determines the time it takes for the note to
fall from the sustain level to zero (silence) level when it is released.
Detune. The
following parameters controls function as coarse and fine tuners by
providing overall transposition and tuning of the oscillators (common for
all oscillators and waveforms):
Octave.
Selector to specify octaves above or below the current
octave.
Note.
Selector to switch between 0 to 11 semitones.
Fine.A fine-tuning.
Filter Section. A smooth state variable filter with the
following parameters:
Filter Cutoff. Adjusts the frequency range to contour
the sound, add or regulate brightness.
Filter Resonance. Slightly emphasize or suppress
portions of the signal above or below the defined color/tone frequency.
Filter Mode. Switches the filter between low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, or
band-rejection filter types, offering a simple and effective tone control to
shape and color the sound source.
Filter Strength. Makes subtle changes to the filter character:
Stage 1: Tone is slightly attenuated. Provides a warmness tone.
Stage 2: Tone is slightly amplified. Something brighter in character.
Low-Frequency Oscillator. These parameters apply LFO modulation. By
using the LFO to modulate various aspects of the audio signal, you can apply
effects such as vibrato or tremolo.
LFO
Rate: Controls gradual changes to the pitch of notes or the filter cutoff
frequency.
LFO
Depth: Controls the amplitude of the LFO. With a lower setting, the resulting
modulation is subtle, while a higher depth will result in a much more
extreme effect.
Reverb effect. A stereophonic ambience
spread that brings
a sense of spatial depth and width to sound, from small to huge sounding
spaces. Turn it clockwise to increase it or counterclockwise to decrease it.
Delay effect. Stores the input
signal and plays it back after a certain amount of time, creating from a
subtle echo to a pronounced blending of previous sounds with new sounds.
Improves the stereo image by adding a slight delay
to one of the channels. Parameters includes:
Time. Modulation to vary
the delay time dynamically.
Feedback. Regeneration of
delay to intensify or extend the effect.
Amount. Determines the
total amount of delayed signal. Turn it clockwise to increase it or
counterclockwise to decrease it.
Flanger effect. Creates a mixing of two identical
signals together, one signal delayed by a small and gradually changing
period, causing a ‘phase shift´ between the two signals. The length of this
pause is gradually varied over time resulting in a ‘sweeping´ stereo effect,
delivering from subtle nuances to extreme jet engine taking off.
Rate. Defines the frequency or speed of the
oscillator. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the rate or
counterclockwise to decrease the rate.
Feedback (Resonance, Regen). Determines the amount
of the effect signal that is routed back into the input. This can change
the tonal color and/or make the sweeping effect more pronounced. Higher
settings yield a more dramatic effect. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the rate
or counterclockwise to decrease the regeneration.
Amount. Determines the total amount of flanged
signal. Turn it clockwise to increase it or counterclockwise to decrease
it.
Drive PM. Provides a phase distortion extra modulation
depth.
Turn it clockwise to
increase it or counterclockwise to decrease it.
Mono. Monophonic mode switch to turn the
synth into monophonic mode.
Mono Glide. The rate at which
portamento slides the pitch between two notes, when playing in monophonic mode.
Loudness: Adjusts the volume (amplitude
control). Turn it clockwise to increase it or counterclockwise to decrease
it.
Hint
property. Tooltip when the mouse is over a control. You can mouse over any of the controls anywhere in
Phasewaver and this will display a short description of what that control does.
MIDI automation.
Implementation of MIDI Continuous Controller parameters for use with
external hardware control via DAW.
Preset Manager: 'Browser' to
load and save presets and banks, enabling to export to *.fxp (VST2 Preset),
*.fxb (VST2 Bank), *.vstpreset (VST3 Preset), *.aupreset (Audio Unit Preset)
plus two generic formats (plain text): the *.xmlpreset (XML Preset) and the
*.xmlbank (XML Bank), providing cross-platform presets/banks. This allows to
control over the loading and saving of presets from disk as well as sharing
presets between different plugin formats using the generic *.xmlpreset (XML
Preset) and the *.xmlbank (XML Bank).
40 internal presets
