Emulating the Imprecise and Unique Analog Beauty of the Instant Phaser
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Released in 1971, the Eventide Instant Phaser began the studio effects revolution by successfully mimicking tape flanging, an effect that’s been at the core of legendary albums for the last five decades. Modeled on the original hardware unit, the Instant Phaser Mk II plug-in accomplishes the same legendary sound with all the analog personality, smooth modulations, and inherent musicality. The capabilities have been expanded, and now you can even take your phaser on an excursion from the 70s far into the future with the delightfully characteristic “Age” knob. Outfitted with a complete host of control options, the Instant Phaser Mk II is out of the rack and into your plugin arsenal. Visit eventideaudio.com to learn more.

Would be cool if each people who buy plugin get randomized values.
Hardware is a little smoother but great job. Wish I picked this up on the sale.
To me the hardware sounded way more deeper in the low and mid tones. I honestly think the plugin is really well made. But If I had the hardware I would have been using it for drums and bass. Perhaps the Plugin makes a better job when you want a more transparent mix? Good job Eventide for making fantastic plugins for our DAW's!
my thoughts exactly, on its own I would of purchased, but it was the comparison that stopped me, still sounds like a fantastic plugin but their is a audible difference and my preference is leaning towards the hardware unit
@@twentysevensounds6063 I bought the plugin some days ago since it's on sale for good price. This is far the best phaser plugin I have in my cubase setup now software-vise. I wonder if the hardware is expensive to get? Else I've to admit that I love my moogerfooger phaser alot :). Do you have any vst-phaser you like? I have not yet tried the ones in Eventide Factory yet but I like that FX-machine alot!
I purchased as well because it’s definitely a good plug, got it in a mix right now, but I definitely can hear an audible difference not necessarily bad or good just a difference and I think thus the point, if the modeled something with components that’s all sound different than the plugin and the hardware probably shouldn’t be identical. I hope I made some sense I’m commuting but wanted to chime back. Hope you all are enjoying this lovely little beast.
I completely agree. I wonder why. This tends to be the case quite often with emulations of hardware.. they tend to lack body... and I don't understand why.. it's not like the developers couldn't simply roll off some highs and boost some lows. I honestly do not understand that.
@@akagerhard I am no expert or have no education in this field. I belive it's near impossible to get an exact print of a circuit emulated in a computer without sacrify all CPU or DSP. Each capacitor is unique and has tolerances which causes a different total tolerance at the end of the entire circuit board which makes lots of parameters to emulate and makes the equation way more DSP intense. Each unit ages with time and sounds different also. An interesting phenomena is listening to my favourite synth Access Virus which is a german masterpiece! However listening to it by recording same audio with the USB audiostream which is digital. Then listening to the VST-copy Viper. Even if they both are almost doing same job internal. They are completely different even digitalwise. Same goes with the Swedish Nord lead 4 and A1. Still have not found any VST that can replace those machines :)
No one said it couldn't be built using 1% or better tolerance components. It would have raised production cost, but precision could have been achieved.
It is the very "lack of" total precision that gave the hardware it's sought after sound. That is why it's so difficult to model it digitally.
@@BradfordGuy Yes, I understand that and was just mentioning that precision is possible via high tolerance components.
Even with 1% tolerance, the effect is quite a bit different than a precise digital circuit emulation with 0% tolerance.
The plugin is shaving the initial thumb of the kick and snap of the snare. No cigar!
To my ears, the zero-crossings do not seem to cancel out quite as much with the plugin(7m28s) as they do with the box (7m42s) in this example (both subject to YT degradation). Close, but not exactly the same. Could be other settings that are not identical though. Just saying. Overall though, sounds very nice!
not sure if they got the dry signal path right...
@@neovxr The plugin sounds better to me than this YT demo. Manual MIDI control makes this plugin as exciting as the box was.
@@gregorymoore6794 sure it's very useful, and can be adjusted to do the correct job. YT demos are likely weak, as time is limited to produce the show, and the compression algorithm might hit in different ways..
what I hear is a lot more bottom on the hardware-version. I wonder why though... it's not even subtle.. to me it sounds quite different.
@@neovxr I do agree. Something is lacking and it could be an accurate model of the dry signal. The plugin sounds kinda "funny". Great effort by Eventide but the fact remains that the analog box sounds beautiful while the software sounds pinched and nasal in comparison. Too bad. They’ll nail it one day. Perhaps next revision?
Got the PlugIn last night and had a try! To my ears it really sounds amazing! Much more lively than any other Phaser i´m using.
Thanks for your excellent work!
So for everyone saying they don't sound the same, lets put it in a mix and you guys pick which is which lol
it doesn't sound the same, the golden ear thing is a myth, most engineers can not successfully complete an x,y, a,b, blind test with 100 let alone 30% accuracy but you can hear a difference in the two audio examples played in above video. Seriously was all the animosity about?
@@twentysevensounds6063 agreed, if there is an audible difference, that's all that matters. Wether one would be able to reliably pick it out in a full mix depends on way to many variables. But just put up the hardware on this drum-example against the plugin on this drum example and I will pick it out 10 out of 10 times. When it comes to 100 times maybe I will screw up once or twice due to fatigue.. but there is a very audible difference here.
Man, I'm never going to look at a solder sucker the same way. Definitely for propping up PWBs when you're working on something!
Love you guys, BUT .... 1% resistors were available and audio manufacturers were binning components such as resistors, caps and transistors for exact matching WAY before this box was released. They didn't have to live with the variance. They probably chose to. Ditto for the triangle LFO symmetry.
Amazing! Omnipressor MKII please
Isao tomita
And here I was thinking I would hear some psychedelic clarinette... Great phaser!
3:40 - OMG it's Seth Coen from the OC! Telling me about Eventide - this is great!
love the detail here thanks for making this style video, keep it up
Glorious!!!
