Tau/Aries/ARP-inspired 20-pole Phaser

via JH via AH:
"I've made some first tests with my version of the Tau/ Aries/ ARP-inspired 20-pole Phaser.

Sound demos (mp3 format) are available:

jh_tau_demo_1_115.mp3
(White noise, and single VCO saw wave gated by Trapezoid, from Synthi Clone.
Run thru the Tau, added a little bit of reverb, recorded with Tracktion.)

jh_tau_demo_2_korg_drums_181.mp3
(Two stupid drum patterns from my Korg Electribe.)

jh_tau_demo_3_lambda_clavi_161.mp3
(Me playing the Clav sound on the Korg Lambda and my 5-year-old son Tassilo
turning the knobs of the Phaser.)

jh_tau_demo_4_lambda_strings_604.mp3
(Lambda Strings, also with Tassilo on the Phaser knobs)

Picture of the finished module: link

(What I will make available is not finished modules; just the naked boards
as shown here: link)

If you want to follow this project further, I'm making updates and announce prices on the electro-music forum: link

I've chosen this way simply because I can put up pictures and audio files there, so I can document this project without making a web site of my own for it. (This will probably come later.)

  1. That sounds sweet!! Smoothest phaser I've heard, and that's only an MP3.

  3. The best phaser i have heard so far whas the one in the rsf modular (12 pole)(i had 2 of them).

    This sounds very close to it but goes much deeper ,and is better! congratulations!

    I want to buy one

  4. Scroll down to see those rsf phasers:

    The 12 poles where completely epoxyed,thats why is have sell them. These phasors where voltage controled also,and had a Phase/flange mode,when setting to flange mode,u obtained identicaly the same tube/vowel effect as this one here,but if i can remember well,this one goes deeper,perhaps because of the 20 stages,what is realy interesting is to use 2 of these phasers (serial or parralel)with complex voltage control,then u obtain a waggling singing chaos.
