Bleass Phaser, Full Walkthrough (iOS / Desktop) (Bleass continuing to knock it out of the park!)
Recently Bleass have just released one fantastic app with fantastic UI after another, and the new Bleass Flanger is no exception. Released for iOS (iPad/iPhone) at an intro price of $4.99, it is well worth snapping up. Phasers are useful for all kinds of music, whether pop, rock, psychedelic or avant garde, and in this thorough walkthrough tutorial you will hear it on drums, percussion, synths, granular noise and guitar. As well as demoing the presets, you will get a full explanation of the UI and features as well as lots of ideas for creative uses. I will finish up with a quick review mention of what I like about it.
I have 4 copies of any Bleass FX app (FX apps only, not synth or groovebox) to give away to subscribers to the channel. Details of how to win are in the pinned comment at the top of the Youtube comments section, please read them carefully. I have an entire playlist of Bleass apps I have reviewed, the link is here: • Bleass Apps I have reviewed
Winners will be announced 2-3 days after release of the video. Good luck!
Big thanks to Ian Ruddock who provided the guitar loop I use in this video. He is a guitarist, harpist and iOS musician, open to offers of collaboration, and can be contacted at [email protected]

As always folks, if you find this useful, consider taking a second to grace it with your thumbs-up.
Please remember to support the channel by not watching behind an adblocker, by donating by PayPal if it is within your means, and maybe by watching the odd ad or two. Channels like this are very useful but very niche, and so depend massively on viewer support. Huge thanks to all the channel regulars for your great support and appreciation of my work 🙏 - more people have been watching ads and I can actually see that the YouTube ad revenue is increasing. Big thanks folks!

PayPal donations make a huge difference to how sustainable my continuing to do this channel is, as ad revenue is so tiny in our small iOS niche, so I am very happy when people support me in this way, and will certainly take the time to email you to thank you personally if you do 🙏.

PHASER SPECS:
___________________________________
The phaser effect processes the signal through successive all-pass filters and adds the resulting signal to the original to create phase cancellation around certain frequencies (notches). A feedback loop reinjects a certain amount of the processed signal back into the filters chain.
PHASER stage:
Notches: sets the number of all-pass filters, adding a filter creates a new notch in the signal’s spectrum. Notches count can go from 1 to 24.
Frequency: sets the center frequency of the phaser (the frequency of the all-pass filters).
Spread: sets the spacing between the notches by changing the Q factor of the filters.
Feedback: sets the amount of processed signal reinjected into the filters chain. Feedback can be negative.
Feedback Color: sets the frequency of a low-pass filter applied to the feedback signal.
Spectrum: a spectrum view representing the estimated frequency position of the notches. Touching this view will adjust the center frequency.
FREQUENCY LFO & SPREAD LFO stages:
Sine LFOs that modulate the center frequency and the spread parameter of the phaser.
Sync: sets the sync state between BEAT (synchronised with the hosts transport and tempo) and FREE.
Shape: sets the shape of the LFO between Sine and Triangle.
Rate: sets the LFO rate in Hertz if Sync is set to Free or in fraction of a bar if Sync is set to Beat.
Phase: sets the phase difference between left and right channels.
Amount: sets the amplitude of the LFO.
MIX stage:
Depth: sets the mix between the dry input signal and the signal processed through the filters. When Depth is 100%, both signals are at the same level.
