Audiority Dr Phase: Revive the Classic Vintage Sound in Your Tracks
Welcome to the world of analog modulation with Audiority Dr Phase – a plugin that masterfully recreates the legendary phaser effect that defined the sound of an entire era. Immerse yourself in the deep, sweeping undulations and pulsating rhythms that became the hallmark of countless classic recordings. This VST/AU/AAX plugin doesn’t just simulate – it breathes life into the vintage character of the original circuit right in your digital studio.
Honoring the Classic: Inspired by the MXR Phase 90
At the heart of Dr Phase lies a meticulous modeling of the iconic MXR Phase 90 pedal. This unassuming orange device, introduced in the early 70s, quickly became an indispensable tool for guitarists, bassists, and keyboardists worldwide. Its simple interface with a single speed control concealed the magic of a unique phase shift that could add subtle movement or an intense, psychedelic vortex. From the floating chords in funk to the aggressive leads in hard rock, the Phase 90 left an indelible mark on music history. Audiority’s Dr Phase aims to accurately convey this magic, offering authentic analog sound with modern capabilities.
Key Features for Maximum Flexibility
Audiority Dr Phase is equipped with a set of features that make it an incredibly versatile tool for any producer or musician:
- Analog Modeling: The essence of Dr Phase lies in its analog modeling. Audiority’s developers meticulously analyzed and recreated the behavior of the original pedal’s electronic components to ensure the warmth, richness, and unpredictable, yet musical, character of an analog phaser. You’ll hear subtle harmonic nuances and a natural response to dynamics that are impossible to obtain with simple digital algorithms.
- Vintage Mode: Activate this mode to immerse yourself in the most authentic Phase 90 sound, perfect for recreating classic tones.
- Modulation Speed: Set the tempo of the effect. At low speeds, the phaser creates slow, atmospheric waves, ideal for slow ballads or ambient textures. At high speeds, it turns into a tremolo-like effect or fast vibrato, adding energy and dynamics.
- Speed Sync: Integrate Dr Phase into your workflow by synchronizing the modulation speed with the tempo of your project in your DAW. This allows you to create rhythmic, pulsating effects that fit perfectly into the groove.
- Pre and Post effect gain: Adjust the signal level before and after processing. This is useful for matching volume levels, adding subtle saturation (by increasing Pre-Gain), or ensuring sufficient headroom after adding the effect.
- Mix control: Allows you to smoothly blend the original “dry” signal with the processed “wet” signal. This gives you the option of using Dr Phase as a subtle effect that adds texture and depth, or as an intense, completely modified sound.
- Noise Gate: A particularly useful feature when using the effect with a guitar or other instruments that can generate noise. The built-in gate helps to keep the signal clean by suppressing unwanted background noise in pauses.
- Resizable interface: A modern and user-friendly interface, the size of which can be changed to suit your needs and monitor resolution, providing comfortable work.
A Versatile Tool for Any Instrument
While phasers are traditionally associated with guitars, Audiority Dr Phase demonstrates its effectiveness on a wide variety of sound sources. Use it on bass to add groove and moving textures. Apply it to synthesizer pads to create atmospheric, cosmic soundscapes, or to leads for a psychedelic feel. Even on drums, Dr Phase can provide a unique filtered texture or rhythmic sweep. Its analog character adds warmth and “life,” making it a valuable addition to any musician’s or sound engineer’s arsenal.
Audiority Dr Phase is your path to classic phase sound with all the benefits of a modern plugin. Discover the warmth, character, and versatility of this wonderful effect.
