What D16 Fazortan 2 Is For

D16 Fazortan 2 is a phaser effect plugin designed to recreate the character of iconic analog phase shifters from the 70s, while offering precision and versatility suited to modern productions. It serves to add movement to a signal, thicken a source, create "liquid" sweeps and airy swirls on vintage synths, pads, leads, guitars, electric pianos, or even effect buses. Thanks to its level of control, it is suitable for both subtle textures (widening, breathing) and more pronounced modulations for psychedelic, electronic, ambient, or retro-futuristic effects.

Main Features

A Vintage Phaser Modeled with True Personality

Fazortan 2 is an "analog feel" emulation of a classic all-pass phase shifter. The plugin relies on advanced analog modeling techniques (based on Operational Transconductance Amplifiers) to capture the response, density, and musicality of vintage circuits. The result: a lush phaser capable of adding a sense of depth and rotation without hardening the sound.

Two LFOs for More Lively Modulations

Where many hardware-inspired phasers limit themselves to simple modulation, Fazortan 2 offers two independent and fully configurable LFOs. Using both modulators simultaneously allows for creating complex, organic, and sometimes unpredictable movements: from slow, cinematic sweeps to more energetic modulations, ideal for transforming a loop or energizing a static sound.

Tempo Synchronization and Timeline Alignment

For a phaser that "plays" with the track, the plugin includes an LFO Sync option: modulation can synchronize to the sequencer's tempo, with phase alignment relative to the host's cursor position. This is especially useful for clean rhythmic effects, controlled build-ups, or repeatable patterns from chorus to chorus without any drift.

Varied Waveforms to Sculpt the Sense of Movement

Beyond the typical triangular waveform of vintage phasers, Fazortan 2 offers several waveform modes to tailor the modulation signature to the material: smoother curves for silky pads, sharper modulations for sequences, or more random behaviors for experimental textures. This diversity facilitates integrating the phaser into any genre, from psychedelic rock to electro, synthwave, and ambient.

Studio-Friendly Usability

Designed for daily use, Fazortan 2 offers multiple interface sizes with HiDPI support to fit all screens. MIDI Learn simplifies assignment to a controller for recording expressive automations (depth, speed, modulation color) and "playing" the phaser like an instrument.
