• Envelope - Phasing is controlled by the level of the input signal, with adjustable

threshold and release time. The switch below the Envelope controls allows for a
side chain input to be routed to the envelope follower instead of the input signal.

• Remote - On the original box, this was a 1/4 inch jack for any remote signal. In the

plug-in this makes the phasing controllable via MIDI.

Age

Things age, there’s nothing we can do about time, and electrical components are no
different. While modeling the Instant Phaser we discovered certain side effects from
the aged components that, while not intended in the initial design, contribute to the
sound of our current box. Of course, the logical thing to do with this information is take
it to the extreme. What would happen if this thing aged another hundred years? Thus,
the Age knob was born. At 0% this corresponds to a box that is fresh out of the factory
in 1972. At 25% this matches our current box exactly. At 100%, well... they say things
get better with age, but only to a certain extent. With the age knob you are literally
controlling the age of the electrical components that make up the Instant Phaser.

Control Overview

Operating the plug-in is simple and intuitive: knobs are controlled by clicking and drag-
ging up or down, and switches/buttons can be clicked to toggle their state. You can hold
down the Command (macOS) or Control (Windows) key prior to click-dragging the knob
to have the knob move more slowly, giving you a finer degree of control over the pa-
rameter. The parameter value for the control is displayed over the knob and is updated
in real time. Option (macOS)/Alt (Windows) clicking or double-clicking a parameter will
return it to its default setting.

The controls are divided into three main sections: Main Panel, Expansion Panel and the
Preset Bar.
