Re: [analogue_systems] phaser vs. comb filter

2003-03-26 by Peter Grenader

The Moogerfoog ain't got nothin' on the Buchla's new 297 phasor - which I
have one of right here as I type this.  Don's asking $1200 for that bad boy.
The unit isn't mine, it belongs to a friend.  It sounds great, as you would
only hope with a module costing this much.

The A Sys Comb filter is interesting, but not what I would consider a
boilerplate comb filter.  Although it will give you endless enjoyment with
its timbral possibilities.  Think of it as Adrian Belew behind a faceplate -
this is sort of what it sounds like (I know, stupid analogy).

The Doepfer phasor is noisey as hell, but I'm perfectly happy with it
otherwise.  

I have not heard the A Sys phasor but did see it at Namm. From what I saw,
it should be suhhhhh-weeeEEEeet.  Built in sweep LFO was one thing of note I
noted (great English, huh?).

Anyway, Roger at Big City has one of the phasors and he will be installing
it into the large A Sys very very soon - so hopefully I will be able to give
you a full report at that time.

cheers,

Thank you very much for your answer !
I have seen price of the moogerfooger and it's a little bit pricey for
me... I thing that the rs400 is a good solution.
However, I read some articles on the Net and there is something not very
clear for me : is a phaser the same as a comb filter ? My opinion is that
a phaser is a comb filter with the delay controled by a lfo. Am I right ?
