Signal ow
In this chapter, we’ll describe the signal path through Fazortan 2, and explain each component and its controls along the way.
Basic modules
Fazortan 2’s signal processing components are organised into separate secons in the graphical user interface:
Phase shier
At the heart of Fazortan 2, the phase shier applies an all-pass lter to the input signal to generate a phasing eect. The frequency re-
sponse of this lter can be thought of as like a series of notch lters with cuto frequencies evenly spread across the spectrum. The Phase
shier is controlled in the Phaser secon of the GUI:

The Phaser secon houses the following controls:
• Stages – Set the number of all-pass lters (Stages) making up the Phase shier to 2, 4, 6 or 8. The frequency responses of the phasing
lter for all four opons are illustrated below:

• Center Frq. - The Phase shier stages (2, 4, 6 or 8) are evenly spread across the frequency spectrum, with the center point between
them determining the main operaonal frequency. The Center Frequency control shis that operaonal frequency up and down the
spectrum, and can be modulated by Fazortan 2’s two LFOs (Low Frequency Oscillators).
• Feedback – Route the Phase shier output back into its input to emphasise the frequencies around the all-pass lter stage cuto
points.
• Stereo phase - The mixed waveform output by Fazortan 2’s two LFOs is stereo, and the Stereo Phase parameter applies phase shi-
ing between the le and right channels.

STEREO PHASE
LFO phase shi between stereo channels
When Stereo Phase is at 0, the le and right LFO waves are 100% in phase. As the Stereo phase knob is turned clockwise, the
phases of the two channels begin to separate, the dierence between them increasing as the parameter is raised. The result is
obvious widening of the stereo eect.

LFO – Low Frequency Oscillator
Fazortan 2 features two Low Frequency Oscillators, the mixed output of which is used to modulate the Center Frequency of the Phase Shier.
Low Frequency Oscillator
The two LFO secons are idencal and comprise the following controls:
• Waveform – Choose one of seven waveform shapes: triangle, sinus, hyper-triangle, sawtooth ascending, sawtooth descending, square and
sample/hold.
• Rate – Adjust the frequency of the LFO, from 0.01 Hz to 20 Hz with Sync disengaged.
• Sync – Engage to synchronize the LFO to the tempo set in the host applicaon.
• Scale – Set the note value modier for tempo synchronizaon mode (with the Sync buon engaged):
• Full – The LFO period length is equal to the note value set by the Rate knob at the host tempo.
• Doed – The LFO period length is equal to the doed note value set by the Rate knob at the host tempo.
• Triplet – The LFO period length is equal to the triplet note value set by the Rate knob at the host tempo.

When Sync is engaged, the LFO Rate can be set to one of the following values: 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 bars; half note (½), quarter note (¼), eighth
note (1/8), 16th note (1/16) or 32nd note (1/32).
One bar
A Doed note is half a note longer than a Full note, while a Triplet note is two thirds the length of a Full note.
Note lengths
The waveforms generated by Fazortan 2’s two LFO modules are mixed (added) together, and the resultant oscillaon modulates the opera-
onal frequency (Center Frq. parameter) of the Phase shier.
