New sounddemo:

Dry first, then changing phaser settings.
I am not satisfied with the feedback-parameter until now, but it's said that the original Schulte Phaser just caused eardestroying noise when turning the feedback-knob up more than half....

I just had to try to make a short piece that hints towards both Tangerine Dream and a bit of Kraftwerk.
I know I suck at playing, but I am still learning

EDIT: I removed the silly song that was linked here...

Nice idea for a VST!

One suggestion: add host-synced modulation rates....

MrM- we're ALL still learning! I dig your demo

Liquidclear- +1 for host sync!

really like this one, WOK! it's not like any phaser I've ever played thru. It can be subtle enough to almost act as an autopan or it can sound like a tremolo!
the demo ditty I did is not at all in the spirit of TD though I definitely sight them as one of my formative influences

... this is very much a bit of a choppy excursion, but I'm hoping it shows how much "spin" you can put on sounds with tdphase.
While I did use other fx, I pretty much kept tdphase at the end of the chain so it is quite evident, especially on the drums: I recorded several clips of MIDI and audio clip loops of drums running thru tdphase. I chopped those up and rearranged them so that the phasing is NOT at all smooth, but somehow it does still have a consistency about it.
I've listened to this piece a few times and then it finally dawned on me:
have you ever listened to music near a large open fire? If you have, you know what i'm talking about: it does REALLY strange things to sounds

If you have a chance (I'm *not* suggesting everyone go build a bonfire!) put a radio/boombox on one side of the fire and you go stand opposite (with the fire between you and the radio)... when the wind shifts you'll start hearing really bizarre phasing/swishing stuff with rhytmic but sort of jarring volume changes... sort of like the mess I've created HERE.
It certainly was not intentional, but it's pretty close to the effect.

OK, I am still not 100% satisfied with my product, so I will give you two different versions first with a slightly different sound:
this is v0.9: http://www.service-1.de/music/tdphaser.dll
this is v1.0: http://www.service-1.de/music/tdphaser1.dll

Seems there are not so many others - 1300 views here and so little reaction

I am busy tonight. But I have already downloaded both the DLL's and will test them tomorrow.

Wok,

I hadn't noticed the links. I look forward to checking your plug-ins out this weekend.

i like the way it sounds on vocals

i just tried 0.9 and 1.0 back to back with all sliders maxed
0.9 sounds smoother, definitely my favourite

I did the same, maxing all the sliders. Put both DLL's on a drum track and I liked V0.9 way more then V1.0

But, as much as I love the sound of this plugin, I hate to bring the bad news that this plugin probably denormalizes

At least, on my P4 upon silent parts the CPU went to 100% and stayed there untill I bypassed the plugin.

So an improved version of V0.9 would be very welcome

Hey MrM, ya may want to slap one of these in the fx chain prior to tdphaser and see if that fixes the problem in the meantime?...

I can't check the denormal-prob, because I am on Reaper (with integrated denormal-protection) on an AMD.
Unfortunately, I overwrote the source of v0.9 during development, and I lost the overview over the changes I made

But anyway I want to make a complete rework of the plugin for more authentic sound, because I deviated too much from the original circuit already.

Meanwhile you may try a descendant of the plugin, a steroidphaser for "moving up" the sound; 8 stages each with an own LFO, spread in stereo.
