The Starplugs Cyclone-Phaser is a unique double stage phaser designed for immersive 5.1 surround sound environments. It applies its phasing effect across the entire surround bus, group, or master section, creating a dynamic and enveloping audio experience. Each phaser stage can be independently configured with different rotation and phasing styles, allowing for complex modulation and movement through the surround field.

Users can control the rotation speed of each phaser stage using the sync selector, which allows synchronization to MIDI clock values based on bar measures for tight timing. Additionally, the first phaser stage offers several free speed options, ranging from free 1 to free 5, providing flexibility for both tempo-synced and free-running modulation. This setup enables precise control over the audio’s movement and rhythmic modulation.

The Cyclone-Phaser also provides various rotation modes beyond the standard left and right circular turns. It includes cross and random jumping modes, adding unpredictability and creative evolution to the phasing effect. This makes it an excellent tool for producers and sound designers seeking to add evolving, spinning textures and spatial movement to their surround mixes.
