Modulation FX Parameters
10: PHASER 3
This simulates a dierent analog phaser than Phaser 2.
It is particularly suitable for electric piano.

Number of stages in the phaser
Manual # 0–127
Adjusts the basic frequency from
which the sound will be modulated.
Rate (sync sw) OFF, ON
If this is ON, the modulation is
synchronized to the tempo of the
rhythm (owner’s manual p. 24).

Polarity
INVERSE,
SYNCHRO
Selects whether the left and right
phase of the modulation will be the
same or the opposite.
INVERSE: The left and right phase
will be opposite. When using a mono
source, this spreads the sound.
SYNCHRO: The left and right phase
will be the same. Select this when
inputting a stereo source.
Resonance # 0–127 Amount of feedback
Cross Feedback -98–+98 [%]
Adjusts the proportion of the phaser
sound that is fed back into the eect.
Negative “-” settings will invert the
phase.
Step Rate
