Fazortan 2 is the latest incarnation of D16 Group’s Controllable Space Phaser, part of the SilverLine Collection. It faithfully captures the sound of ’70s analog phase shifters while offering modern enhancements and full control over both LFOs. This allows users to achieve highly precise sonic contours and vintage phasing effects akin to Jean Michel Jarre’s iconic sound.
While the original hardware had limited controls, Fazortan 2 offers expanded features with multiple tempo-synchable LFO waveform modes, adjustable emulation of rotary speakers, and a variety of options that make it adaptable to different genres and use cases. It retains the warm, lush sound of its analog predecessor while adding digital flexibility.
Key Features:
- LFO Sync Option: Optional tempo synchronization with phase alignment to the host’s cursor position for precise timing.
- Several LFO Waveforms: Includes triangular (like the original), sinusoidal, hyper-triangular, random, and more for diverse modulation options.
- Two Independent LFOs: Full control over both LFOs simultaneously opens up new sound dimensions, from gentle pulses to complex, evolving modulations.
- True Analog Phase Shifter Emulation: Advanced analog modeling based on Operational Transconductance Amplifiers, providing accurate all-pass filter behavior true to the original hardware.
- Phase Shifter Control: Number of stages defines the placement of peaks and valleys, while feedback controls the amplitude, creating anything from soft pulses to intense warbles and ‘cosmic winds.’
- Adjustable UI and HiDPI Support: Several UI size options with HiDPI support for better screen fit and usability.
- MIDI Learn: Quick and easy controller assignment to integrate Fazortan 2 into any setup.
