Stereo Phase

Hi,
i am trying the Audio Unit demo.

The "Stereo Phase" parameter seems to have no effect. Even when turned to 0°, while Fazortan is fed with a mono signal, it clearly produces stereo movement.

A bug, or user error?

Weird, after removing the AU from the track and instantiating it again, it works like expected.
But after a while the "Stereo Phase" knob again has no effect.

Is this some kind of demo restriction? Would surprise me, since all the other parameters still work like expected - just "Stereo Phase" stops working (before the 30 minutes timeout).

Hi.

Which host are You using? I tried the demo now with Logic mono track and everything is fine - Stereo phase has nothing to do with the input sound.

This was in Live 6.0.10.

Sure, I know. I just fed it with a mono sound (on a stereo track btw.) to confirm and make sure it's not a stereo movement from the source signal itself that I hear.

If You have a stereo track Fazortan should process L&R channel respectively. Please send me an Ableton project file - i think it's the shortest way to check what's going on. Insert one stereo track with mono signal and insert Fazortan - set it as You wish. Save it and send to contact@d16.pl

Kind regards

Done. Quoted the thread title in the subject of the mail.

By the way, another thing I noticed when feeding Fazortan with a mono signal:
The more you turn the "offset" parameter of LFO1 towards "max", the more mono a signal becomes (in this case with "stereo phase" set to values other than 0°, even when set to 180°). At "max" it's completely mono.

Is that behaviour intended?

Total range of phaser frequencies are bewtween 0.0 and 1.0. When You set depth of both LFO's to max and then a lot of OFFSET then overal curve is close to 3.0 - so clipping to value 1.0 occurs. In other words each LFO Depth has range between 0.0-1.0 and so the OFFSET.

LFO1 Depth(max) + LFO2 Depth(max) + Offset(max) = 3.0

Now when both LFOses are clipped then for a while they have both value 1.0. In this situation there is no reason to hear different frequencies in left and rigth channel. Is it clear? :)

Hi,

i've tested Your attached project and everything was fine. Thanks for the sample - now i exactly know how it sounds. The only difference is that we have Live 7.0.3. Fazortan worked fine until reach 30 mins of demo processing. We'll check it deeper.
