New to Max for Live? Read what Audio Effects do, how device licenses work, how to install a device.
Description
Phaedra is a phaser modelled on the Schulte Compact Phasing A unit from the 1970's. The LFO sweep is modelled on the original lamp and LDR setup.
*** UPDATED Nov 2019. New algorithm gets closer to the Compact A character and added gain & dry/wet controls ***

Could you add input & output gain knobs? There can be some pretty wild volume swings when tweaking the parameters and turning the device on/off.
I agree with dubdub. Input /output gain knobs would be choice! Dry/wet might be nifty as well.
Kudos!!!
And like the others above I am a phaser aficionado and this is a great one.
Thanks!!

It's most apparent when you have a clean tone rather than noise as an input and the gain is turned up but as you sweep the depth with each increment there is a tiny click which becomes more noticeable if you sweep it quicker. You might miss on a pair of speakers but on headphones, it becomes much more noticeable.
1) It's a bit CPU heavy, anyway to reduce that?
2) Would be nice to have a "Width" control to move it from Mono to Stereo.
Nice work!
1) Center Freq: To "tune" the center frequency of the notches when using lower depth settings.
2) Width: To spread the sweep across the stereo field +/- left and right.
3) Stages: It sounds like this is a 2 stage filter, would be nice to have 4 and 6 stages as well.
Thanks for your excellent work, this is way good enough to charge for, spent $ on many less useful, less decent sounding devices.
