Phaser Node

A multi-stage phaser with 4 modes, multiple LFO shapes, and stereo phase offset for classic swooshing effects.

Parameters

Stages

Parameter	Range	Default	Description
Stages	2 - 12	4	Number of all-pass stages

More stages = more notches in the frequency response = more intense effect.

Modulation

Parameter	Range	Default	Description
Rate	0.01Hz - 10Hz	0.3Hz	LFO speed
Depth	0% - 100%	70%	Modulation depth
Center Freq	100Hz - 10kHz	1kHz	Center frequency
Spread	0% - 100%	50%	Frequency range width

LFO Shape

Parameter	Options	Default	Description
LFO Shape	Sine, Triangle, Saw, Square	Sine	Modulation waveform

Stereo

Parameter	Range	Default	Description
Stereo Phase	0° - 180°	90°	L/R phase offset

Feedback & Mix

Parameter	Range	Default	Description
Feedback	-90% - +90%	50%	Resonance/feedback
Mix	0% - 100%	50%	Dry/wet balance

Visualizer

The LFO Visualizer shows:

• Current LFO position
• Waveform shape
• Stereo phase relationship

Tips

• Higher Stages (8-12) create more dramatic sweeps
• Negative Feedback creates a different character than positive
• Barberpole mode is great for builds and transitions
• Use Stereo Phase at 90° for wide stereo imaging
• Triangle LFO shape gives smoother sweeps than Square
