Key Features
The Instant Phaser Mk II brings you the classic sound of vintage hardware phasing units in a convenient plug-in format. Introduced in 1971, the Eventide Instant Phaser was the first studio rackmount effect unit that eliminated the costly and tedious job of offsetting two tape recorders to create the classic tape flanging effect. Now, through an exceptionally accurate recreation of the original hardware unit, you can experience and implement the same classic studio effect into your projects with a host of modern features that accommodate contemporary producers and mixing engineers.
What made the original tape flanging sound was the combination of the dry signal with the delayed signal to create the signature sound. At the time, there was no such technology to delay the signal artificially, therefore the original Instant Phaser hardware was only an approximation of what was possible. With the Instant Phaser Mk II, you are experiencing an exact recreation of the sound that builds on what was possible with the original hardware unit.
Brought to life through advanced analog modelling techniques, the Instant Phaser Mk II delivers the unmistakable characteristics of vintage analog equipment, with three different settings, you can achieve anything from subtle whoosing to heavy jet-engine propulsion sounds into your mixes. Whether you're looking to emulate the famous sounds of Jean Michel Jarre or Eddie Van Halen, the Instant Phaser Mk II gives you all of the tools to create the sound in your head. Modern implementations such as Depth (mix) control let you blend in your dry signal, input and output gain controls for perfect signal control, side-chain control from external audio tracks or triggers, sync to host BPM and more lets you seamlessly integrate Instant Phaser Mk II to your workflow.
Product Ref: 188620
By successfully recreating the distinctive sound of two tapes flanging out of time, the Eventide Instant Phaser began the studio effects revolution back in 1972 and is still ongoing today. Using the very first hardware unit ever produced, the Instant Phaser Mk II plug-in delivers the unmistakable sound, full of vintage character and personality, smooth modulations and musicality. Benefiting from the advances in the digital domain, the functionality of the Mk II plug-in has been enhanced over what was possible on the original hardware thanks to the "age" dial. This lets you drastically change the tone of your phaser from the original sound of the '70s and further beyond to find the right spot for your mix, as well as host BPM sync, input and output gain controls and side-chain control.
Analog hardware is not all the same, even two units of the original Instant Phaser would not sound identical, in part due to the components 'drifting' from their original design and production where the values may change with age. The Instant Phaser Mk II, Digital Delivery captures the imprecise character of the hardware by implementing the Age dial, an innovative feature that allows you to simulate the ageing of components of the phase shift networks and the LFO to subtly change the sound and feel of your phaser. In doing this, you can find the right sound for the music and instrument you are working with to make it genre and era-appropriate.
The Instant Phaser Mk II features four distinct ways to phase, including Manual, Oscillator, Envelope and Remote. In Manual mode, you are in control! Explore precise automation of parameters to control the phasing. In Oscillator mode, this modulates the phasing at a constant rate set by you. Envelope mode changes the phase behaviour whenever your signal passes a specified threshold, allowing you to use your Side-chain control. Lastly, Remote lets you control your phasing with a modulation wheel on a traditional keyboard or MIDI controller for tactile manipulation of your sound.
Presenting three different modes, the Instant Phaser Mk II offers you three unique sonic characteristics that alter the amount of phase-shifting sections to craft the perfect tone for your music. Shallow, Deep and Wide all achieve a different depth and rate of phasing, where Shallow provides a gentle and subtle phasing that adds texture and space to your tracks, Deep shifts up a gear and creates the signature crashing wave effect and Wide gives you a different amount of phase-shifting within your left and right channels to transform flat mono guitars into huge stereo leads.
