• Inspired by famous phaser units from guitarist and keyboardist world • Unique sonic character combined with a large amount of control • Adjustable LFO; diverse waveforms and synchronizable to host tempo • Versatile: External modulation (parameters), Step mode, and more • Unique Butterfly Meter: Shows LFO modulation and output level • Suitable for all musical genres and instruments • Stereo, adjustable phase modulation distance between both channels • Includes various presets for inspiration • Advanced Responsive Design, portrait and landscape views • Universal Purchase: AUv3 for iOS (iPad/iPhone), macOS and Vision Pro FAC Phazer will satisfy most fans of phasing effects, seducing them with its rich sonic palette and elegant interface. To achieve the classic phase effect, the original signal is blended with a slightly out-of-phase copy of itself. Altering the timing difference between the two signals produces the swooshing sound characteristic of phasing. Most phaser units available on the market are built around this circuit topology, each with its own specificities and limitations. Guitar pedals provide a great sonic signature out of the box and are a great source of inspiration, but we often overlook the impressive built-in effects sections of some hardware synthesizers. FAC Phazer combines the best of both worlds into a single plugin, offering access to all parameters involved in crafting the phasing effect. The design and development were inspired by both pedals and built-in phaser effects found in hardware synthesizers. This led to the creation of four unique characters: Classic, Midori, Step, and Tirus. All parameters can be applied to each of these characters, allowing you to create new, exciting, and outstanding sounds. The presets Slow, Moderate, and Jumpy Phase Pedal or also Fleur d’Oranger bring the classic pedals sound signature within your reach. If you're seeking more modern characteristics, the Step Sound I preset offers a splendid stepping mode, while the Midori Phase Shift II preset emphasizes the feedback in a unique way. On the other hand, the Tirus Anthem preset is an excellent starting point for exploring phasing effects produced with built-in synthesizer effects. An important aspect that strongly contributes to the variety of the sonic palette provided by the plugin is the modulation options. The LFO can run in free mode, be synchronized to the host tempo, or be defined by external automation parameters. The documentation is available at fredantoncorvest.com/FAC_Phazer.html

About

isxynth

This music effect plugin allows spectral cross synthesis and morphing between two input signals. It separates noise and tone components, offering controls for blending, freezing, and time-based delays. Gestures on controls can be recorded and played back for dynamic sound shaping.

Highlights
  • Spectral cross synthesis
  • Morphing between two input signals
  • Noise and tone component blending
  • Freeze control for spectral blurring
  • 3-second delay lines per input
  • Gesture recording and playback

isxysnth is spectral cross synthesis / morphing plugin it gets two input signals, splits each one into 2 parts containing noise and tone components and then allows morphing between all these elements. Freeze control allows spectral blurring-like effect for both input signals, two 3 second delay lines allow selection of different signal in time and also provide "freeze" effect you can process left and right channels on stereo source or use this effect as multi-input AUv3 - in that case it will use 2 stereo inputs. Standalone mode currently works only in "mono" mode - three XY controls set balance between tone and noise components, amount of freeze and set up morphing - both inputs have 3-second delay line; freeze button ("*") toggles off recording. - gestures on all the main controls (3 xy pads and two sliders) can be recorded and played back when appropriate button with ">" label is toggled on - in current version standalone app supports only mono (L + R as inputs I and II) processing

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: FAC Phazer at 5.0 against isxynth's 3.7. FAC Phazer also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 34 months) and ratings volume (30 vs 3). isxynth's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). On ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FAC Phazer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FAC Phazer has 30 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of FAC Phazer's written reviews are positive against 100% of isxynth's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FAC Phazer ships an update every 4 months, isxynth every 34 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
