Synapse has introduced Ninety – a software emulation of a legendary 1970s phaser.
Here’s what Synapse has to say about it:
What makes this phaser unique is the feedback path, which gives the sound a very distinctive character, unlike any other analog phaser. Our emulation employs a zero-delay feedback network, a technique popularized by recent synthesizers, and particularly well suited to emulate analog feedback loops.
The original unit is a mono-in mono-out device with only a Rate knob and a Color switch. The Ninety phaser adds stereo processing, a stereo LFO with adjustable spread and a dry/wet control. The color switch is replaced with a knob for increased versatility. The “Ultra” switch upgrades the network to a 6-stage phaser, allowing to create entirely new sounds not possible with the vintage original.
Here are audio demos of Ninety in action:
Synapse Ninety is available for US $45 in the Propellerhead Shop.
I don’t know what zero delay feedback means. Feedback implies a non-zero delay, so … what is this?
I’m familiar with zero delay filters. Maybe there are HP, LP, or some other kinds of filters in the feedback path and THOSE are zero delay? I can see the value in that.
Anyhow, sounds very good.
This is one fine sounding RE.
does anyone know which would be the original unit after this VST was made ?
thanks
@ R M A – it’s Zero Delay Feedback Filters 🙂 – http://www.xils-lab.com/pages/Zero-Delay-Feedback-Filters.html
@ Haules – it’s MXR Phase 90
Ah, thanks Chris.
