The BODE BARBERPOLE PHASER offers 9 phase stages and various sound manipulation features. The option to insert an additional effect into the feedback loop or one of the two audio pathes is one of them.
The main feature of the BPP/product is infinity phasing. Infinity phasing is a psychoacoustic effect based on the Shepard scale, which was introduced in 1964 by the psychologist Roger N. Shepard. It creates the illusion of an infinitely ascending or descending scale that never exceeds the limit of one‘s hearing.
The combination of the various features like left-right panning or the transfer of a monofonic input signal into a stereo output signal and modulation of the phaser creates a sonic soundstage in the tradition of Harald Bodes ”Klangumformer” principal. If you think you know the sound of a Phaser, you need to listen to the Barberpole Phaser to understand the possibilities of a ”Klangumformer”
THE WORLD OF PHASING
Phaser effects are often used in music production to modulate the signal of guitars, synthesizers, keyboards or drums and give them a psychedelic or spacey character. The phaser can also have more subtle
applications and may be used to add depth and width to an audio signal or to create movement in a mix.
A typical phaser has parameters such as the number of phase stages (usually 4, 6 or 8), the filter frequency ranges, the modulation rate (speed of phase shift) and the amount of feedback (feedback of the effect signal to the input). Through experimenting with these parameters, you can achieve different variations of the phaser effect.
