used to fix the ratio of wet signal re-injected into the delay. Finally, the Mix knob determines the
amount of dry and wet signal in the output signal from the module. When this knob is adjusted in
its leftmost position, only dry signal is sent to the output, in its center position, there is an equal
amount of dry and wet signal in the output signal while in its rightmost position, only wet signal is
sent to the output. Note that the Depth parameter is also adjustable from the Play view.
4.3.7 Phaser
The Phaser module implements the effect known as phasing which colors a signal by removing
frequency bands from its spectrum. The effect is obtained by changing the phase of the frequency
components of a signal using an all-pass filter and adding this new signal to the original one.
The algorithm implemented in this module is shown in Figure 28. The input signal is sent into a
variable all-pass filter. This wet signal is then mixed down with the original dry signal. A feedback
line allows the resulting signal to be re-injected into the filter. The effect of the Phaser module is
to introduce rejection in the spectrum of the input signal depending on the tuning of the filter.
Figure 28: Phaser algorithm.
The all-pass filter modifies a signal by delaying its frequency components with a delay which
increases with the frequency. This phase variations introduce a certain amount of cancellation when
this wet signal is mixed down with the original dry signal as shown in Figure 29. The rejection is
maximum when the phase delay is equal to 180 degrees and a given component is out of phase with
