Read full description

Phase Garden takes the familiar sound of a phaser and lets it grow wild. Instead of relying on a single repeating sweep, Phase Garden uses three independent phaser voices moving together as a constantly evolving network. Each voice has its own modulation relationship, sweep behavior, feedback character, and stereo position. At restrained settings, Phase Garden creates smooth, dimensional movement that can add life to synths, guitars, pads, drums, vocals, and complete mixes. Increase Spread and the voices begin separating into a wider, more complex field. Add Drift and their relationships slowly evolve over time. Then there’s Wild. Wild introduces occasional controlled disturbances into the garden. A voice may change pace, alter its sweep, become more prominent, or temporarily move away from the others before settling back into the larger pattern. The result is phasing that doesn't feel locked to a perfectly repeating modulation cycle. Phase Garden can be subtle, spacious, liquid, hollow, tangled, resonant, unstable, or gloriously overgrown—but it always remains recognizably a phaser. Three phasers grow from the same source. None of them behave exactly alike. Plant a phase. Let it wander. Features Three independent phaser voices Evolving multi-phaser architecture Smooth organic modulation drift Controlled unpredictable behavior Adjustable separation between phaser voices Integrated stereo movement Resonant feedback from subtle to aggressive Wide range from gentle movement to tangled phase textures Factory presets ranging from restrained to overgrown
