Arturia Phaser BI-TRON Software Effect

Product Description

Arturia Phaser BI-TRO is an all encompassing phaser that oozes retro sci-fi charm. Modeled on one of the most coveted guitar pedals in history, Phaser BI-TRON features 2 sweep generators, dual 12-stage phaser circuits, mind-bending routing options and a sound that’s set to stun.

MORE THAN JUST A PHASE

A simple concept, multiplied, expanded, and pushed to the outer limits. A definitive sound that was ahead of its time, yet remains hypnotic and otherworldly to this day. Phaser BI-TRON encapsulates the transcendent quality of an undisputed trailblazer of the modulation world. Soft 2-pole flutters, wild asynchronous movement, resonant swirls suspended in orbit - there’s nothing quite like it.

REBUILDING A LEGEND

The humble phaser was one of the first widely-available guitar effects on the market. Achieved by the relatively simple means of modulating all-pass filters on an input signal, it’s a sound that’s as recognisable as it is divisive. No modulation collection is complete without a phaser - and as the world’s first dual phaser, the Mu-Tron Bi-Phase stood out from the crowd. Popularised by everyone from Smashing Pumpkins to Prince, Kraftwerk to Chromeo, it’s evident that the pull of stereo functionality, interweaving modulation, and analog charm was impossible to resist.

We set about studying, remaking, and enhancing this prized handmade effect. Using Arturia's proprietary TAE technology (True Analog Emulation), Arturia wanted to replicate every subtle detail, every sonic trait - even the control panel and expression pedal functionality. Phaser BI-TRON is every bit an analog dream, primed for your virtual studio.
